Scandal has reached Mudwick Isle, where Elder Gnarltooth of the Goblin Council of Elders is said to be keeping unusual hours. Witnesses report seeing the elder statesman repeatedly zipping between the Wash & Dash laundromat and the Snuggly Snoring Slug, which, as everyone knows, is definitely not a brothel.
Some goblins are outraged. They accuse Gnarltooth of neglecting his duties and indulging in illicit pleasures. Others are envious, and admire his adventurous spirit and his ability to combine chores with carnal delights.
"It's a disgrace," said an activist holding a sign that read "Gnarltooth: Ziplining to Shame." "Elders are supposed to be role models, not thrill-seeking hedonists."
A younger group has formed a fan club, calling him "The Zipline Lothario" and praising his unconventional approach to relaxation. "He's living the dream," said a member in a Gnarltooth t-shirt. "Who wouldn't want to combine laundry day with a little fun?"
The Council has issued no statement. Sources say it is deeply divided: some elders condemn the alleged behavior as unbecoming, and others privately admire his nerve and wish they had the guts to join him on the line. Whether Gnarltooth is reprimanded or becomes a folk hero may depend on a hidden camera someone is said to be installing on the zipline.
