Leon throws down the bag of gold he got from the leader goblin in front of the goblin.
”This is all the gold your leader had. This makes you the new leader of the goblins. You tell us how to get to G Town and you can keep your buddy’s gold too.”
To the party: "He's not lying. He doesn't know anything about G town. Let's try a different path..."
To The Goblin: "Lucky for you there is other information I require, which is the only reason that you are still alive. What about the silken paths? Know how to get there?"
The Goblin's eyes literally sparkle as the lumps of gold fall heavily to the ground before him. He speaks, but his eyes remain fixated on the gold.
Goblin - "Silken Paths? If dat be da biggy spiders' web bridges, yeah. Yas not too far away. 4 or 5 days dat way!" He lifts up a finger and points back in the direction you came from. Then pointing to the other side of the river, he says, "Dis way to da rest of me pack." He grins from ear to ear...probably thinking of all the ways that he could spend these lumps of gold he sees before him.
As this conversation takes place, Gremryl casts Divine Sense but fails to discover the location of any creature in his vicinity. There doesn't seem to be anything he senses directly from the Goblin, other than the obvious madness that his behavior betrays to the group.
"I don't really care about any dumb ass goblins. G town gets me closer to the surface and the silk paths are the way to get there. I say we take this little bastard to make sure that he is legit and have him guide us to where we want to be. Grem?"
The Goblin can’t stop staring at the gold presenter before him.
Goblin - “Yas da new boss den!” He says, eyes still fixated on the gold. Looking up at Leon he says, “Keep da weapons. But untie me, eh? I be da guide.”
Leon searches the goblin and removes all of his weapons. Leon slips the bag of gold from the leader into one of the goblins pockets.
”What is your name bud? I will keep given you gold as long as you do a good job, okay?”
Leon turns to the group. (Telepathically)
“Sound like a plan? We follow him to the silken path so we can get to G town. We can tie him up at night. Whoever is on watch can just keep an eye one him. We can have Stool cast friendship spores again on him to see if he is telling the truth too.”
Telepathically to the group: “I say we keep his shifty ass tied up and leashed. What’s 2 keep him from taking off on us? We can keep his legs loose so he can walk/lead but I don’t trust him to b loose.”
”Can you keep friendship spores up all day long bud or is that too much?”
Telepathically To morgana
”I agree with you but can’t you kill him with one attack. I can throw my spear in his back as well if he try’s anything. I can ask/tell him we are going to keep him leashes up as we travel as well.”
The Goblin turns to Leon when asked about his name with a puzzled look on his face.
Goblin - "Yas wanna know me name? Hahaha!!" He laughs in a muted tone as if cautious about the question, but surprised in equal part. "Me name's Gogo. 'Cuz I go-go when da Boss say so. Hahaha!!!" Again, sliding into one of his maniacal laughing fits that continues indefinitely. "Gogo thanks yas for the gold! Get yas to the Silken Paths, I will! Hahahahah!!!"
The group sets off with Gremryl taking the lead with navigation from Gogo the Goblin. For many hours they march onwards in what they trust is the right direction. Knowing that this guide is their best shot at not aimlessly wandering the Underdark for eternity right now, the group continues on. The path takes many twists and turns and finally after the tell-tale signs of exhaustion set in, the group finds an area suitable to defend and rest their weary legs.
The night is uneventful as each of the party takes shifts watching out for threats. The group decides it best to tie up Gogo for the rest period, and maybe not surprisingly, the Goblin sees no objections to this decision. Waking from their sleeping shifts, the group gathers their belongings up and continues onward in the same order as the day prior.
There must be something to Gogo's navigation that allows the group to completely avoid danger for the next few days of travel. The travel is long and arduous, with each passing day, no more exciting than the one before it. One thing is certain, the longing for home is growing stronger and the unsettling feeling that darkness continues to pervade the Underdark only bolsters that homesick feeling.
On the 4th day of travel, the group begins to notice spider webs against the cavern walls. Some areas look fresher than others.
Gogo - "Close to Silken Paths. Spideys around. Heheh..heheheh..heh." A very nervous and presumably scared laughter escapes Gogo's lips, betraying the fear that seems to be building inside of him.
Gremryl moves forward with caution and takes every opportunity to scan the cavern ahead for threats. Upon reaching an opening, he sees a nest of Giant Spiders in the distance! There are also a number of smaller Spiders that skitter across the cavern walls...unaware of Gremryl's presence...for now.
The cavern is approximately 80-feet wide, 120-feet long and the ceiling is roughly 20ft high with stalactites of varying size and length. Many of the Giant Spiders are clustered together with others spread out across the cavern. From Gremryl's point of view, he can see 3 Giant Spiders clustered together, 10 Spiders on the left cavern wall, and 15 Spiders on the right wall. On the ceiling he sees 1 Giant Spider hanging from a strand of silk.
"Grem I can increase our stealth but did you see a way through or just a shit ton of spiders. Gogo do you know a way through this area? If there isn't a way through maybe a surprise attack of a few fireballs may make some quick work of some with a backing ranged attacks."

Leon throws done the other two lumps of gold.
To leon and morgana
"Hmmm, could be hes stricken like the shield dwarf we encountered? Something seems off about him....Let me check something"
I cast divine sense
To the party: "He's not lying. He doesn't know anything about G town. Let's try a different path..."
To The Goblin: "Lucky for you there is other information I require, which is the only reason that you are still alive. What about the silken paths? Know how to get there?"
Leon to the group
“To the silken paths then? Do we trust the goblin not to have his clan kill us or do we just kill his whole clan?”
"I don't really care about any dumb ass goblins. G town gets me closer to the surface and the silk paths are the way to get there. I say we take this little bastard to make sure that he is legit and have him guide us to where we want to be. Grem?"
Leon kneels next to the Goblin. Leon shows the goblin 30gp.
”I can give you more gold if you take us to the silken path. Be our guide and you can have all of this gold in my hand.”
Gremryl stroked his beard. ..
"Aye, take us gobly and I may have some extra gold for he, instead of meace... "
The Goblin can’t stop staring at the gold presenter before him.
Goblin - “Yas da new boss den!” He says, eyes still fixated on the gold. Looking up at Leon he says, “Keep da weapons. But untie me, eh? I be da guide.”
Let's be off then if y'all be ready
Leon searches the goblin and removes all of his weapons. Leon slips the bag of gold from the leader into one of the goblins pockets.

Telepathically to Stool
”Can you keep friendship spores up all day long bud or is that too much?”
Telepathically To morgana
”I agree with you but can’t you kill him with one attack. I can throw my spear in his back as well if he try’s anything. I can ask/tell him we are going to keep him leashes up as we travel as well.”
Leon collects his spear from the opening.
I having collected my javelins say "aye, we can keep him from running. Untie him.."
“All right, but if he gets loose it’s on u.” I untie the goblin and recover my rope.
my thoughts on marching order r this. Grem out front, goblin behind him, me behind the goblin ready to fry him, Leon in the rear with stool. Good?
Gremryl - Roll a Perception check!
"I'm not find if spiders, they be gooey and easy to smite though..."
Perception check 13
What do you intend to do?
I'll retreat back to the group and relay the info.
"Maybe we can be sneaky? I'm not sure..."
"Grem I can increase our stealth but did you see a way through or just a shit ton of spiders. Gogo do you know a way through this area? If there isn't a way through maybe a surprise attack of a few fireballs may make some quick work of some with a backing ranged attacks."
