Plot

In Idylls of the Rat King, goblin bandits have taken up residence in an abandoned mine northwest of Silverton. Someone must get rid of them. But this is no ordinary abandoned mine. It was deliberately barricaded generations ago when the Gannu family, founders of Silverton, discovered an unspeakable evil on its lowest levels. And these are no ordinary goblins, for the curse of the Gannu family courses through their veins.

gollark: I am of course familiar with the general concept though - my profile picture contains subliminal pizza advertising.
gollark: It seems very conspiracy-theoretic and pointless.
gollark: No particular reason, like other things? I don't think we're at a point where every detail of movies is ruthlessly microoptimized for audience appeal yet.
