Irt didn't know or care about the civil war. All that mattered to him was power, and to get that power he needed help robbing from any adventurers that entered the dungeon. That was why he was so deep in the dungeon, normally he stayed closer to the entrance but he had built up a reputation there and it had gotten harder and harder to find "allies".

Unfortunately for him it seemed news traveled far cause even here his suggestions to work together resulted in him laughed off at best and attacked on sight at worst. He was lucky that so far he managed to escape any fight with at worst a few bruises and the loss of a cheap wooden spear, not that he felt that way of course. He knew at least one kobold who would have been interested in the spear and who might have been able to get him in touch with a bugbear in charge of quite a number of other Goblins.

At this rate Irt feared his reputation would make it impossible to get any decent power and he even considered stealing the Merchants Grimoire. an idea he quickly rejected the thing was to well known to just sell or trade and if the Merchant saw him at any point before he could get his hands on the book he would go in debt to the skeleton and he didn't even want to think about about what would happen if he got caught with the book in his possession.
