Zak looks the Queen up and down and grins when she stands on the throne to meet face to face. "Ummm... ok.... well thank you then."
Zak bi-polar-ish-ly says to Yusdrayl and then retreats back a few feet with the others and waits for Meepo to lead the way. Clearly this half-orc has a very weak grip on his emotional self control. He can't help it. Can't control it. He didn't realize he interrupted Spotty at all about his 'key' question either.
Zak nods at Spotty and Renny, and then proceeds to take his place behind Meepo as they start to somewhat head out back they way they came. He's SO glad to get out of this social pressure cooker of a room and feels he needs to let off some steam. Hopefully he gets the chance soon he thinks to himself.
Hef eyes Zak with his jaw set. He wants to give the half-orc a good upbraiding, but this is neither the time nor the place. Instead he tries to distract himself with questions to Meepo as he heads towards the door, "What do we expect ahead?" As they near the exit he bows deeply to the queen and wishes her health.
Gwenant falls in behind Hef, also eyeing Zak, if not for the same reason. He seemed tense. Nerves maybe? She does little more than give a respectful nod to the queen, as she has never before met anyone of a noble rank and station, and frankly has no idea how to address such a person.
Hef & Spotty: You see the Queen give you a slight respectful nod of the head, seeming to appreciate the reverence you have shown her.
Meepo answers Hef as they walk:
Meepo sure not, never away going from dragon chamber... Goblin territory, unknown territory!
Meepo leads the party back to the Dragon Worship room where you first met, then leads you to the northeastern door, you walk down a long corridor taking a right, then a left, and through another door at the end in the north wall. You enter a small empty room with one door north and another south (from which you entered). Meepo stops here, looks at Spotty, and says in Draconic:
<— Beyond this door we will be entering Goblin territory, this is a “back” way in, they might not be expecting you from here.. but I have never been further than this, so I don’t know what is beyond! —>
Zak can't understand why Hef and Gwenant are looking at him the way they are, and almost cowers in a way that a dog does when it knows its been bad.
Zak also can't understand what Meepo is saying to Spotty and Renny, but then hears Renny and Spotty speak in common and watches her look at the door. Zak takes this as a queue and he is excited to see what is behind the door. Might lead them closer to the lost party from Oakhurst. He will open the door.
Renny looks at Zak then remembers to do a quick translation, "Meepo said this is a back way into the goblin territory but he's not been further than this."

As they stand at the door Martin looks at his companions. "I can give a temporary divine help to three of our group. I was thinking Gwenant, Spotty, and Zak since they will most likely be the ones going head to head with the goblins. What do you all think?"

"Then we should be on the lookout. If the kobolds know about this, the goblins might as well." he looks to their trap-finder. "Do you want to scout ahead, or would you rather we all head in together?"
Hef turns to Martin as the clergyman speaks, "Sounds like a fine plan to me."
"I think Hef's more likely to be 'head-to-head' with these guys than I am,"says Spotty. "I prefer to keep my distance... and I say we go in together. There might be a few traps, but goblins don't use them nearly as much as kobolds do."
Zak opens the door. Dust and odd bits of stony debris and rubble lie scattered on the floor. An ornate fountain is built into the eastern wall. Though cracked and stained, the fountain's overarching carving of a diving dragon retains its beauty. A relief-carved stone door stands on the western wall. A corridor leads further down to what looks like another chamber, but hard to see from the vantage point. There are open doors in the corridor ahead.
Martin pulls out his vial of holy water and dips his fingers into it before motioning with his hands and saying the chant that accompanies the other two elements. Gwenant, Hef, and Zak would be able to feel the blessings of Lathander on them when he finished. "All set, shall we go?"
Gwenant rolls her shoulders as Martin's blessing takes effect, then she nods at her new friends. "Remember, if we run into any goblins then we have to watch out for any bolt-holes they might have set up. Unless we want to deal with an army, nobody escapes." She looks to Hef and Zak, idly twirling her trident in one hand. "I'm ready when you are, boys."

Meepo senses the tension and awkwardly speaks up:
Ahem.. this follow way Meepo taking now..?
And he stands, somewhat pointing the way back whence you arrived.

"Yeah, let's go before someone gets hurt..." Spotty grumbles.
Renny nods, "Yes, let's."

<Thank you, Meepo. You just stay here. We'll kill the goblins.> Spotty then nods to the others. "Let's get down to business."
Renny looks at Meepo, <Thanks, Meepo> then looks at the door, "I do wish we had some idea how many to expect."
She crosses her arms, rubbing the upper arms as she waits, slightly nervous clearly.

"Let me see what's up ahead..." Spotty carefully creeps forward, checking for traps along the way.
