Avier grimaces, drawing his morningstar and climbing down to the goblin, "You there! Tell me where I can find Yeemik. I have something that he has requested."
He holds his morningstar ready to strike the goblin or the wolf if one of them attacks him.
As Avier yells at the goblin, he recognizes this is the same goblin that was defending Klarg's cave but fled when the odds turned.
The goblin tenses, and so does the wolf, whose pointy ears go up and the fur on his neck stiffens. It starts growling slowly and the goblin seems ready to let it go at the fighter but before it is able to do so, a sharp yell is heard, coming from the west end of the bridge.
In Goblin:
"Stop it right now! Yeemik has deal with them!"
Both Avier and the goblin look up to the bridge, where Yeemik now stands, triumphant smile on its ugly face.
Cormac, Flint, Sylric, and Gwyyn, on the other end of the bridge, see the goblin group arrive, guided by Yeemik. Wrettath and Plax are pulling the human from his arms.
Flint, who now sees the human more clearly, realizes he's no othen than Sildar Hallwinter, who recommended him for the job. He seems unconscious, beat up pretty badly.
In Common, and addressing the group above the bridge, Yeemik yells:
"So, Klarg dead? Yeemik hope yes, or human falls down now."
As Yeemik says this, Wrettath and Plax pull Sildar forth and dangerously hang half his body from the bridge.
Yeemik's malicious grin grows larger and larger as Sylrics steps forward with Klarg's head.
The moment the elf tosses it towards the middle of the bridge, the goblin runs towards it and kicks it to the stream below, while laughing maniacally. With a splash, the bugbear's head falls into the water and is quickly carried away by the current.
Then, facing the group, the new leader says in Common:
"Great service you do Yeemik, new leader of goblins. Yeemik do service to you too. For 50 pieces of gold, Yeemik give human back."
A few goblins laugh on the other end of the bridge, as you notice how inflated Yeemik's ego is at the moment.
"That's quite dishonest, Yeemik.", Sylric says calmly in goblin as he confidently steps forward. Continuing in common, "Also...I do not have sufficient coin to split the random evenly. I can contribute only 2...", he produces two gold and his his pipe from his sleeve, he prestigitates flame, and draws deeply. As he steps back he mutters, "hmmm seems to have dried sufficiently, yes. Yes, yes..." He looks back to Yeemik and says sternly, "Also, for payment, you will need to tell us the location of the castle called Cragmaw."
As Flint advances, Yeemik calls out to another goblin:
"Grurm, come here! You get the coins!"
The smallest goblin of the group, also the ugliest, walks forward and snatches the coins from Flint's hand. When Sylric steps forward, the goblin shows its palms to the wizard, motioning for him to put the coins there.
Yeemik addresses Sylric's command:
"You go out alive and you lucky. You give thank to Yeemik!"
Grurg catches Avier coins and starts counting, as Yeemik waits for Gwyyn's and Cormac's contributions.
Grurg collects the final contributions and greedily continues counting them. After a few seconds, it smiles and calls out to Yeemik in Goblin:
"50 pieces!" (Grurg clearly is not very good at counting)
And it will run back to the west end of the bridge with the coins.
Yeemik then commands Wrettath and Plax:
"Put the human in the middle of the bridge"
And in Common to the party:
"Don't try stupid thing! Leave cave now and Yeemik will let you live." (It seems like Yeemik thinks you are genuinely scared of it and prefer to please it over fighting).
Wrettath and Plax pull Sildar and carelessly drop him in the middle of the bridge. They quickly run back to west end afterwards.
Then Yeemik yells at the goblin below:
"Let them pass. Have the wolves ready in case they decide they don't want to leave"
And the goblin steps back and pulls the wolf to make way for Avier and the others.
As soon as they get the man Cormac will move him to the side and then turn to the others "Do we kill em? If we are he goes first." He points to Yeemik.

Before attacking starts, Flint gets Sildar out of harms way as much as possible. Carrying him off the bridge and positing himself between Sildar and the goblins.

Flint carries on, making a mental note to come back for the supplies

Sylric steps forward and tosses the head to the floor.
"Release the human."
Yeemik's malicious grin grows larger and larger as Sylrics steps forward with Klarg's head.

Gwyyn whispers under her breath in Celestial
“Lying backstabbing creature”
Then whispers in Flints ear “We should pay him the money then kill him and the other goblins when we have the hostage.”
"I say we should be doin it now but her right we need em first." Cormac mutters.

Flint whispers back "I was about to suggest that"
Flint steps forward. "Here is 10 gold. My friends have the rest"

Avier grits his teeth as he reaches into his pocket and tosses the goblin 10 gold.

Grurg catches Avier coins and starts counting, as Yeemik waits for Gwyyn's and Cormac's contributions.
"Ain't got no more coins fer ye." Cormac says as places ten coins on the floor and then crosses his arms and like to the others stubbornly.

“Fine.” Gwyyn spits out. “Here’s what I got!” and pulls out 10 coins.
