Kai nods in appreciation to Moss and instead handcuffs the goblin tight enough to prevent movement but to not cut off circulation to his hands. She awaits his responses to her questions with a stern look, letting her fingers glow a little threateningly with a held flame.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Yup. If done in time, you would've gotten to do your turn as normal, but started off prone.)
Nobody turns on the goblin, ready to loose his last arrow at a moment's notice. He would cover her during the process. It would not take much for him to trigger the shot. Only once bound will he lower the bow. "...They'll eat just about anything if its meat; especially the little goblins. It's just usually a bad idea." He says caustically while eyeing the dead. "People get right and pissed if you take their things. But kill'em and eat'em? I have not been out in the world for nearly as long as the rest of you. But, it does not take a genius to figure out the response to that -when- word gets around. And word would have gotten around eventually."
As much as Nobody wanted to fill his quiver, he focus his attention on the barrels and other assortment of things in the corner, appearing more than a little hopeful for something of quality for shooting.

Hearing Kais questions, the goblin looks at her:Yes. Yes i do. I think so. The dwarf was sent to King, but you are King now, so i don’t know. The human should be in eating cave with Yeemek
He looks from Moss to Maltake as they speak up and replies: Eating cave is on other side.Sometimes, but it is not nice, tough and full of sinews. Baby is ok, but not worth the danger, not worth the risk.
He looks at Moss like she would understand him, but as he sees Kais burning hand and Leonas who examines her bloody sword, he stops talking and begs and cries again: please don‘t kill Zurzg, i tell you everything.
Kai, without looking at him, speaks to Nobody over her shoulder. "May I ask how old you think I am? How old are you? And I suppose any creature can eat anything if need be." Despite her serious look at the goblin, her body relaxes a little with amusement.
Kai looks at the goblin in thought. "You're going to lead us to our human friend in the eating cave. After that, you will tell us what you know about where your former king and our dwarven friend is. And if we encounter any more of your friends, you will explain to them that we are your new leaders. Understand? They are not to attack us." She'll grab the goblin by the chain holding the manacles and look to the rest of the group.
(Being a life cleric makes healing a lot more effective. Thank the heavens for that. XD Cureently we are all pretty squishy since we're level 1's)
Moss you move the dead bodies to the southend of the cave. You don’t find anything special on the bodies, beside useless armor and weapons in bad shape.
You do notice a lot of blue lion crests on the crates and barrels and when you point them out, Leona will tell you that those are the symbol of the Lionshield Coaster, a merchant Company in this area of the Swordcoast.
Maltake you see the same symbols, but as you try to open the first box to inspect it you actually cut your hand on a rusty nail instead: you take 1 point of piercing damage.
Maltake you can easily collect 15 arrows from the dead goblins, but they are to short for your bow and in bad condition, they will have a -1 to hit and damage.
As for the crates, you do find a small ironbound chest among the supplies that doesn’t seam to belong there. It does look like a treasure chest, it is heavy ( at least for you) and it is locked.
Kai hums in thought. "Prying may not be the best. It could be trapped." She looks to the goblin she is holding onto to make sure he understands her instructions while waiting for the others to finish looting.

Only if the group is not yet headed out, Mal will spend his time to check the locked chest for traps and will try to open it (he doesn't have any Thieves' Tools).
You don't see any kind of trap or anything unusual about the chest. It looks to be an ordinary, but locked chest. You see the keyhole and you can hear coins clinging inside. A lot of coins.
You will need some kind of tools to open it. Just your fingers and your daggers won't work.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nobody smiled faintly. "But few have the constitution of goblinoids, and fewer still have their unique adaptability."He replied, calming significantly as conversation lulled to the more academic. Before he can say more Kai moved on, so he returned his attention on the southern corner items.
Finding no more than the others during the search, he sits atop one of the more stable barrels for a breather. Tuning back at Mal's suggestion, Nobody quietly sighs and starts collecting the arrows. If he can find in short bows in working order along the way, he grabs one too. "We'll--... We -should- take both chest with us on our way out. Should be enough room on the cart, and we can see about some acquiring tools for the one back in town."He suggests.
"Though that Lionshield one... if we find one of their shops in town, it was probably meant for them. So... might wanna return that one at least. Just a thought."He shrugs tiredly, then shoots a glare at Zurzg. "In the meantime, and this will be rich coming from me, but maybe now we take a small breather. Given the way things are with them, the Goblins probably won't care much from coming to this side if they can help it. Not with so brutish a fellow in charge. And if we do--"He looks over to Klarg's body with dispassionate eyes. "We present his head. A barbaric, but hopefully effective method."
(So in short, short rest and an unspoken removal of bodies is being suggested.)
If able to Short Rest: 6, and using arcane recovery to get back 1 spell slot.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kai nods in understanding, knowing the others are probably quite injured and she does not have enough spells to go around. "I'll keep a lookout with this one while the rest of you rest." She holds the chain to the goblin tightly in one hand and moves closer to the doorway, enough to remain slightly out of sight but easily able to look out to the open area from before. Like said, she will look out for any signs of other goblins or hostile creatures while the others rest, taking the time to also relax herself and ward away the previous anger, not letting her goblin captive out of her grip or sight.
Assuming if we are short resting, Kai will also just automatically spend a die and gain the whole 1 hp she lost (no rolling needed I assume?).
"I think we should go and get Hazel befor he worries to much. Ostran would you help me with this rope here please, I have a decent idea where the pit next to this fieldbed here is leading. Maltake, pull up the rope once we are down. We should be back in about 5 minutes with Hazel and we will give you a shout to drop us the rope again. "
With this Leona ties her rope around a stalagmite and Ostran gets a torch going. One after the other they climb down the dump into the cavern below.
After 5 minutes you hear a whistle and Maltake drops the rope again like agreed.
When you see Hazel again, he ripped his trousers and made a huge makeshift bandage around his head. You can see that he washed his face, but the hair you can see under the bandaid is still heavyly crusted with blood and he needs Leona help to walk.
With this everyone can take a short rest and roll 1 hitdice.
(I rolled Nobody's Hit Dice in the previous post. Back to Full HP now. Thanks Dice Gods.)
"Mmhmm," A distracted Nobody emits while swatting at something in the air. Over the short rest, a faintly glowing matrix of lines and symbols solidifies before shrinking and being drawn into his forehead, fading from existence. He breathes easier as the last of a semi-perpetual scowl disappears from view. "Now that is much better. Oh, hazel. It is good to see you are all right! I do not suppose you have an axe on your person?"He then gestures over to Klarg's body.

The water on Kai's skin gathers around Kai's leg wound, glowing slightly and easily healing the wound, only leaving a little dried blood as the water also clears that from her skin. She keeps a tight grip on the goblin while she keeps watch and waits for the others to finish their rest.

Mal patches himself up as best he can. He makes a mental note to get a spare set of traveller's clothes when they reach town.
He resigns himself to waiting until he can have someone open the chest. He hides the chest along with the other chests from the Lionshield Coaster.
The chest is a bit heavy but I suspect that something valuable is in it. Should I leave it here with the rest and we can come back for it or does someone want to carry it with us? he asks the party.

We have some pretty shabby arrows. Look like they're for a short bow. Anyone need them?
I guess we can see why the supplies needed an escort. Looks like our goblin buddies have been busy stockpiling them here.
And we have a nice looking chest here which is very heavy and looks very secure.
Mal will look around for a key to open the ironbound chest.
Leona, you think you can pry the chest open?
Investigation Check (looking for the key): 17

Maltake, you examine the chest, but you don't see any hidden switches or mechanics to open it. It seams to be a regular lock.
You look among the crates and supplies and you search all the dead bodies again, paying extra attention to Klarg and Ripper, but no sighn of a key.
25
Only if the group is not yet headed out, Mal will spend his time to check the locked chest for traps and will try to open it (he doesn't have any Thieves' Tools).
Investigation (for the Traps): 17
For unlocking the chest:
Dexterity Check:7
or
Intelligence Check:5
You don't see any kind of trap or anything unusual about the chest. It looks to be an ordinary, but locked chest. You see the keyhole and you can hear coins clinging inside. A lot of coins.
You will need some kind of tools to open it. Just your fingers and your daggers won't work.
