Yeah, you'll probably just have to roll a event for the goblins on how far they go over the mountains and whether the Torphani notice that there is goblins in the mountains now. I don't intend to follow them into the mountains. That would be bad. Doug
Andrew Janssen wrote: I think you're right. The border area is more of a fuzzy frontier than a
line in the sand. The borderlands in that area are forested hills and
Appalachian-style mountains, so the Torphani might not notice the
goblins right away.

> Well, it is the Torphan border but Tanimbar isn't sure the Torphan's border is right up against us. Because of Torphan's policy of isolation, Tanimbar doesn't have a accurate map of the Torphan border because no major contact has ever been made with Torphan on that border. That border was established as a "this is what we can control" sort of thing. I may be wrong. I wasn't playing (obviously) when Tanimbar was created, so I may have it wrong. Please feel free to correct my error if there is one. Doug
