Plumb the depths of an ancient tomb! Discover the deadly secrets within! Face the fearsome Rocktipedes! Bravely square up against the Mighty Mechasquagulat!
Centuries ago, the goblin war chief Armansquagulat was renowned throughout the goblin lands for his battle prowess wisdom, and generosity. War chief Armansquagulat, most famous for his victory over the Dragonmen of Zurg, was renowned throughout the land. After his death a mighty tomb was erected in his honor. Sacred to all goblinkind, the tomb was a shrine to the fallen chief and a popular pilgrimage site before the goblins were driven out of their homelands by humans.
After being lost for centuries, you now know the location of the tomb. The time has come to find the treasures said to be held within, and even perhaps to come face to face with the dreaded and revered Armansquagulat himself!
