Station 75

the hobgoblin repair station

A sprawling industrial repair station and small-cart yard, overrun and turned to a battlefield graveyard of gnolls, hobgoblins, and ghouls.

Story so far

Station 75 is a major hobgoblin-repair hub on The Iron Tangle, where Carl's crew disengages the front engine after the rescue. Its rail yard holds dozens of small flatbed carts (a few riders each) that hobgoblins use to reach crashed trains; its cavern is packed with doorless warehouses and open workshops. When the party explores, they find it already a battlefield graveyard — hundreds of ghoul corpses alongside devoured gnoll and hobgoblin bodies, scorch marks from hobgoblin explosives, and three intact buildings: a gnoll armory (already looted), a hobgoblin repair shop, and the Downward Dog tavern.

Someone came through before them and stripped it bare. Katia Grim pores over its layout, convinced the whole spirograph-shaped railway hides a secret they're missing.
