The crumbled ruin of the Watchtower of Auku Vaino has long kept a lonely watch over the wild borderland. Now, reports of heavily armed warriors camped at the site and sightings of something huge flying across the night sky have terrified the local peasants. Has bloody war come to the borderlands? Will all soon be in ruin? Who will shield the borderland folk?
Equally renowned for their battle skills and mercenary hearts, the warriors of the Mailed Fist serve anyone with sufficient coin. Heavily armoured, disciplined and well-trained, those who stand below the Mailed Fist's banner are formidable fighters capable of great slaughter. High above, their winged cavalry—elite warriors and battlecasters astride gigantic black bats—hurl missiles and spells down upon their hapless foes.
This System Neutral Monstrous Delve presents the mercenary Hobgoblins of the Mailed Fist tribe, along with a detailed overview of the crumbled ruin of Auku Vaino’s watchtower.

About Monstrous Delves
A Monstrous Delve is not a “proper” adventure. Rather, it is a starting point for your creativity. We provide a flavoursome overview of the delve and the monsters therein. You provide their stats and their treasure and pick a suitable adventure hook to draw the characters to the place.
Monstrous Delves are designed so that you can add them to your campaign with the minimum of fuss and effort. Have the characters got lost (deliberately or accidentally)? Have they decided to explore an area of wilderness you have yet to detail? Do you need a side trek or diversion? Simply drop a Monstrous Delve in their path!
Monstrous Delves are system-neutral; however, it is impossible to avoid all game references. A few generic terms such as elf, orc, fighter and cleric appear in the text. Modify these as necessary to suit your game and campaign world.
