This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Aisha will keep her wits about her as much as she possibly can as the group enters the area. Dusty, full of webs and other such detritus. But she was long used to this as part of her everyday life. Tsavi was prowling near the back. but never too far from her mistress. Aisha's bow, was for once, stowed, as she looked about the area, trying to determine if there was anything of note to see that wasn't immediately obvious - Reliefs carved, some sort of historical images drawn or carved. Anything that could indicate information or significance.
It is not immediately obvious, but Aisha's gaze settles on a section of the right-side wall that shows less dust than the rest of the surrounding stone. A very faint door-shaped outline in the stone is visible upon closer inspection.
Tracking: Closed wooden doors are ahead of the stairway and on the left side of the room. A door-shaped outline is set into the stone on the right side of the room.
Harmony saw the doors and then heard Jove, confused. "Right? There's only the door in front of us and on the left though. I say that we go straight then!"she had said back to everyone with a smile.
OOC: We've been considering a direction for 5 days now, so I'm going to assume the party is moving through the door to the right.
The area of stone on the right side wall pushes forward, and slides along a track to reveal a large 40-foot-square room. The walls are similarly stone-dressed, and a rocky vent pushes cool air through the corner of the room. Resting within the room are eight startled goblins. Their hands go to the hilts of their scimitars, though none advance or draw their weapons.
Two wooden doors are closed to your left.
OOC: These goblins are Medium-sized, like the Rikirtan goblins you spoke with at the Ice Basilisk.
Harmony wondered why everyone wanted to go to the right until she was surprised when the stone pushed forward and revealed another room. Oh, that was a secret entrance to a different room! She saw the eight goblins, similarly to the ones that they met at the Ice Basilisk as she carefully stepped forward with her hands in the air, casting Calm Emotions on the goblins. "We mean you no harm, we come in peace. We're just looking for our wizard friends who would have came here. Did you happen to see them or know where they might be at least? We plan on leaving as soon as we find them so that we all can head back home." Harmony then asked the goblins in a calm friendly tone with a smile on her face.

Harmony throws a wave of magic into the room, catching half of the goblins in its radius. Three of them visibly calm, and as the other goblins look between each other, fingers twitching over their sheathed swords, one of the calmed goblins speaks. "Looking for wizards, you say? Of course, we don't know where any wizards might be, but I don't think we'll have a problem with you searching for them - that is, as long as we're paid well to ignore that fact. I think 80 gold sounds fair, ten for each of us? What do you say, friends?" she winks, drawing nods of agreement from her fellow goblins.
For Olive:
Your hands feel shaky, and you have begun to feel dizzy. Your Dexterity ability score is currently lowered by 1.
For Abraxas and Jove:
It is difficult to breathe for you right now, and you are feeling lightheaded.

Aisha is glad that things seem to be going smoothly as the group stumbles - more or less- onto a pack of goblins. Though it seems Harmony had things more or less in control. Though she would sigh when the Goblins more or less demanded a toll or tribute. Tsavi bristled feeling her mistress' frustration but remained calm. Aisha then saying Purrhaps we should just pay it... no sense in shedding blood here, no.... A small amount from each of us as ... trribute? she says, putting her back to the goblins and facing her party before giving them all a wink.. then another... for those less inclined to look for hints.
If the party agree's, Aisha will take a collective sack to the one asking for the hush money. However, Aisha's intent is to hand the sack over, and steal it back stealthily, as she doesn't feel like tolltakers deserve anything they have. Atleast she earns her treasures! usually... most of the time...
((OOC - I will not roll partly since I don't know if you want both a SoH AND a stealth check or not, but also so the party doesn't make their decision based on the outcome of my roll. I have +9 to both stealth and SoH to save you time.))
If the party disagree's for any reason,Aisha will react based on the parties reaction.
If the party goes Hostile: Aisha will cast Spike Growth in a way that only effects the goblins, and not her party members. Tsavi will hang back and "Improvised readied action' to help someone attack by harassing the first melee target to give the first attacker on that target advantage.
If the party chooses another route, Bot as needed.
Jove drops the eldritch blast, and goes to cover his mouth as he coughs. "Yes. I'm sure the gold is the quickest way to solve this. You better not stab us in the backs, sneaky goblins."
80/5 is 16. I removed 16 gold from Jove's inventory.
Harmony could see as her spell worked, three of the goblins visibly calmer. She heard the one goblin say that they didn’t know where any wizards might be at but would be okay with them, only for a fee of 80 gold. Splitting that up between all of them would mean that they only have to pay a small amount each, hearing Aisha and Jove as she agreed with them. “That sounds perfectly fine, we’ll pay that and then we will be on our way.” Harmony had said back, seeing Aisha’s winks as she was confused and then realizing it as Aisha held a sack. Is she planning to take this gold back from the goblins later? Harmony paid for her share and would watch Aisha take the sack up to the goblins as long as everyone agreed. If everything goes smoothly and nothing suspicious happens during/after the exchange, Harmony would lead the group out of the room back to the first room since she would figure that the closed doors belong to the goblins and how the people they are looking for would not be there.
OOC: Since they've not posted in a day and a half, I'll assume Abraxas and Olive will also pitch in.
"Thank you! I'm glad we could come to an agreement," the goblin woman says, accepting the sack of coins. She spills them out onto the ground, divvying up ten gold pieces for each of the goblins as they greedily hover over the pile. "Do as you please," she says without looking up.
OOC: 16 gold pieces have been removed from each character's inventory.
I did not roll anything for Aisha because the opportunity did not easily present itself to "steal back" the sack. The goblins were going to split it amongst themselves as soon as possible, greedy little buggers.
Jove spouts out a quick "thanks", before exiting the room while covering his mouth. Once he gets out of the room, he gasps in a big gulp of air. "I don't know what you did, Harmony. But I am glad you did it. They definitely had the numbers advantage on us."

Harmony heard the goblin, surprised as they spilled out the gold and were divvying up between them all. Oh, there goes Aisha being able to steal all the gold back. She would have then led everyone out of the room before hearing Jove, smiling happily and nodding. "Thanks! I did the same spell that I used when we were talking with the nomads and the goblins at the Ice Basilisk. But now we shouldn't be bothered, though it seems like maybe the goblins don't have anything to do with why the wizards are missing though. Let's go straight this time!" Harmony said back to Jove, having decided that next they should go through the door she originally suggested before.

While the doors do look dusty, old and worn, they are free of the cobwebs that clutter the stairway and cling to the ceiling.

OOC: At first I misspoke and meant straight ahead... Now I think I do mean right. lol.
Is there any writing in this room? Maybe there is some graffiti or ancient runes that will help us choose.

OOC: I won't hide anything that's in plain sight from you in the description of a room.
The walls are plain grey stone. There is no writing anywhere within the room.
OOC: We have a vote for 'right' and a vote for 'straight'. Which way?

Jove readies an eldritch blast if they attack. He speaks with telepathy to the party. "Does anyone speak goblin?"
