Well, I hadn't meant it as a foisting off, mostly because what that would imply about Gutwick's boss who's supposed to be an okay guy. I thought either he had the authority to dispense them, or someone had happened to deliver one for Gutwick while he was dreaming. I don't know who does assign them, so if that's too big, the second idea still works. I could see a runner being sent around to everyone who has goblin workers and informing them that their laborers were being temporarily coopted for the good of the community.The Duty Stones aren't meant to be handed around, you're supposed to keep whatever one you draw... but maybe Goblins are special and folks can foist their Duty Stones off on Goblins if they're handy.![]()
