Well, I don't want to do a back and forth exchange with you, but I would ask you whether you are sure about all you just said or are you making assumptions?

I am trying to reconcile all of it because I've been trying to put it all into one cohesive fan fic story. I have replaid dialogues over and over again and read those documents you can find at length. I even went on a killing spree and a robbing spree to acquire them all to get all the little details from those things.

So, I could be missing things, but I don't ever see where Sazza or anyone says that Sazza was captured during a previous raid. There is only one raid that the goblins keep talking about. They say that Sazza was one of the ones who went out with the raiding party after "The Looters."

Here's an excerpt: Sazza says to Minthara, "Mistress! It's me, yer loyal servant, Sazza. I'm back, an' Ibrought a friend."

Minthara says, "A Drow?" (I played a drow character at the time.) "Tell me, Sazza, did your misadventures take you to the Underdark?"

"They woz in some rickety druid grove!" (So, she clearly isn't familiar with the druid grove as if it was common knowledge amongst the goblins that they were even looking for it.) "Mostly full of tieflin's, but them intruders you're after were hidin' out there!" (Who are the intruders she was after?)

Minthara says, "I presume you dealt with my prey, and massacred the rest? Why else would you hve returned? You know the price for failure."

Sazza says, "Ah... well. The thing about that is... they sorta massacred us, but Ibrought the ones wot did it!" (Ah! So, the ones wot did the killing was Tav and her party. Was that Minthara's prey? Clearly not, because since Sazza was going to the grove to deal with Minthara's prey, she would have known who that prey was. Right? And her prey obviously wasn't the tieflings because she mentions the tieflings as if they were just some part of the grove and not her intended victims. So if the prey wasn't the tieflings, or the grove, or Tav and her party, who was her prey?)

Furthermore, Sazza says, "They was in the grove, hangin' around with the tieflings."

Minthara replies, "Undercover, no doubt. Carrying out the Absolute's will." Then she asks you to join her in killing everyone in the grove. So, clearly, you aren't the ones she was looking for. The tieflings and druids weren't the ones she was looking for.

So, who are the Looters? Who "were "them intruders" Minthara was after? Well, wouldn't the only people who make sense as the Looters be the ones the goblins were chasing back to the grove, who tried to break into the temple in order to find the way down into the Underdark? They are literally the only people the dialogues mention as trying to break into the goblin camp. I've found no other dialogues or books or anything that mention something like that.

Oh, and here's another excerpt from the dialogues in the game from before the encounter with Minthara. Sentinel Olak says, "Well, look who's getting dragged back. And by such high comany! How badly did you mess up?"

Sazza says, "Can it! I know something Ragzlin will want to hear."

Olak replies, "Yeah? What's that?"

Sazza says, "I been in some druid's grove. This one sprang me. Now, move over, so I can tell Ragzlin myself."

Olak says, "Hold on. Where are the raiders?"

"Dead," says Sazza. "Every last one."

"Ragzlin's other drow friend won't be happy to hear that," says Olak.

"She'll be happy enough when I tell her where them looters is holin' up," says Sazza.

So what am I missing? I can't see it.
