Matlock finds out about the tarborns.

Both Rhys and Jezebel were out on errands that HE had sent them.  And Matlock had become bored sitting on his throne.  He had come outside to see how the building of his fortress was coming along and was pleasantly pleased to find his overseers working the slaves.  He stood for quite some time watching. Then on a whim decided to see if there was anything new in the world. And what better place to start then the tarpits.  There was just something about those pools of dark inky pits.  Maybe while he was there a luckless blob would be drowning in one.  And he could come to it's "rescue".... Or maybe just watch it sink to its doom.

Matlock found his favorite spot where he could watch over several tarpits and waited.
