Story:

At a time when kobolds and goblins were still resident in Goldstett, a deep vein of gold was found within the local mines. Both parties heard about the good news at the same time. The kobolds were happy, as it was enough gold to bury it at the end of the rainbow. On the other hand the goblins would rather invest the gold to attend the "All-You-Can-Drink" event in their local pub... However, the fact that both parties had their eyes on the gold vein poses a problem for the opponents: the gold was not enough for everyone, and even though the kobolds and the goblins were equally good at digging and making tools, they were awful fighters. So both decided on their own to intimidate the rivaling party with elaborately crafted weapons and to chase them out of the caves...
