IC: Inxori returns, calmer, but determined. "Look, your only shot out of here alive is to tell us everything you know: the condition of the party members who were dragged off, where they were taken, how many more of you there are. Unless you like the idea of suffocating to death with your head shoved up that rotting horse's ass?" Inxori remembers the image of goblin sex, and decides his threat is worth the risk that he might trigger one of the goblin's kinks.
(Fae can help with persuasion since she followed up on Rigg’s intimidation? Rigg stepped away so Fae stepped in. She’s pissed one of them almost killed her in one shot and no one seemed to care.)

The goblin has a panic attack, falling on his knees and hands, and breathing in quick, short bursts. He is in no condition to relay information.
Fae would still be growling from frustration, but she’d kneel down to be closer to the goblins level, holding on to the axe for assistance and keep it in place. She’d meet eyes with him, “I can’t speak for the others, but I have no desire to have your death on my hands.” She’d wince a little from the pain, “I’m sure you understand my frustration in this situation.” Blood from her wound would drip into a small pool at his feet, as it isn’t as severe any more, but enough for her to still be a liability. “Yet, here I have sympathy for you. No one likes to watch a comrade’s demise. Yet here you are, the last one. If you do in fact have a wife and kids, please take this opportunity to speak the truth, for their sake. At least provide us with enough NEW information we can proceed with so that I can use this axe to cut your hands free instead of your jewels.” She’d raise her brows at him to encourage him to make a decision.
(lol well ****. I didn’t beat Inxori to post and she sends him into a panic attack 🤦🏼♀️)
IC: "Well, my companions, we now have a pet goblin wetting itself and providing us with zero information. I think we should neutralize him, and follow the tracks Enkindle saw."

The thought of dying by the hands of his brothers if he dared to say a word of his organization was drowned out by Fae's heart-felt speech. And so, he told you everything.
• Fewer than twenty goblins currently dwell in the lair (cragmaw hideout) at the end of a trail north of here. • Their leader is a bugbear named Klarg. He answers to King Grol, chief of the Cragmaw tribe, who dwells in Cragmaw Castle. It's about twenty miles northeast of the Cragmaw hideout. • Klarg received a messenger goblin from King Grol a few days ago. The messenger told him that someone named the Black Spider was paying the Cragmaws to watch out for the dwarf Gundren Rockseeker, capture him, and send him and anything he was carrying back to King Grol. Klarg followed his orders. Gundren was ambushed and taken along with his personal effects, including a map. • The dwarf and his map were delivered to King Grol, as instructed. The dwarf's human companion is being held in the "eating cave".
Fae would nod at the goblin. She’d pull her axe from the ground and cut his hands free. “Thank you.” As she cuts his hands free, she offers him a hand to help him up. She’d lean in to whisper, “Run. Take your family and run. You know your safety is compromised now. Or at least take this in good will and remember this mercy.” As she does, she slips him a gold, hiding it from the others. She started to feel bad for the guy and hopes to buy a little good karma in case their paths ever cross again.

At the mention of family the goblin says, "Huh, family?" then he eyes the gold coin, mesmerized. And finally, he scampers away.
"Lucky little shit." Enkindle grumbles as the goblins runs off. Brushing off the temptation to throw fire at the goblin with a flick of her bangs, she glares at the others. "I wouldn't count on being able to ambush'm if they home. We might catch some of them out and about hunting. But not the whole damn lot of them if they got this 'food' sitting around already. 'nd even if they did, /I/, fer one, ain't *****footing around with those little shits for some dumbass plan."She says bluntly, cross her arms and staring daggers at Atala for a moment or two.
"Ya'll wanna play it safe. Fine. We find up we're the trail leads, and go in quiet. A good close second. And you--" She jabs a finger at the dwarf. "Watch'ya doin' stand'n up for. Go sit yo' arse in the cart, and patch yerself up. We got time to kill. 'cause unless someone planning to go chasing after the ****er to make sure he ain't gonna rat on us, we spare'n the hour to get ourselves right, and that carriage of ours taken care of."
Fae just rolls her eyes at Enkindle, “I got us the information didn’t I?” Great. I’m in a group filled with hotheads. She’d just brush past and sit herself down in the cart.
IC: "Fae, I'm sorry that I've come across as a hot head. First impressions, and all. I'm really not usually like that. I just lose it for goblins though. I had some mates, when I was a boy...", but Inx stops and doesn't finish the story.
"Let's follow the path, it's our only choice. We can't risk their lives gambling whether they can escape themselves." Rigg says as he tries to pull these young bratts back together.
"We'll hide the cart in some foliage and tie the horses a fair bit into the path, we don't need this stuff going missing. Heal up if you need to. I'll carry this map case until we find them."
Rigg throws his shield over his back and is ready to follow the path.

IC: "Six of us, to twenty of them? Maybe we should try to ambush a party leaving the lair, so we don't have to assault them all at once?"

IC: "Less than 20," Atala reminds. "But an ambush does sound better than a full on assult."

ixi, your kindness makes me want to make the goblin betray you sooo bad.
(lol I figured it could go either way. You did encourage mercy. I was willing to make the gamble.)
