Author's Notes

Morgan's disgust is not unwarranted. Due to a recent incident involving a beehive, a prototype dwarven pressure cooker, and an intoxicated manticore (The exact details of which remain undisclosed by the academy) the St. Briar's board of directors have recently been forced to completely replace their kitchen staff. Unfortunately they were only able to hire new workers from the local goblin villages as they were the only people crazy enough to want to work in the kitchens after the disaster. Goblins have a rather robust digestive system and can draw nutrients from a wide variety of organic and inorganic matter. This has lead them to develop a very... unique sense of taste. More than one student has complained of finding seashells or boot laces in their food only to be told that they're packed with minerals that help strengthen their tails.
