Moralesh looks at Willow, considering her statement about the bandits and such. “Well the immediate threat is this Klarg. If these goblins help us the we could get this done. I’ll press on, curious what a bugbear looks like to.”

Graeme agrees to go after Klarg and hopes the goblins will help.

Yeemik looks around the faces of the group.  He brightens.  "Klarg this way.!"  He starts moving towards the passageway and beckons the group to follow him.  Sildar sighs and picks up a short bow from one of the dead goblins.  "Be careful, these creatures are treacherous," he warns as you start to move. 

Leading the way he takes you along the upper passage to the bridge.  A goblin is half hiding in the passage, and it starts to bolt in surprise at the appearance of so many people, but a harsh word in goblin from Yeemik stops it in its tracks.  It eyes the group suspiciously and joins Yeemik at the front of the group.  The bridge is pretty rickety, and it creaks and groans as you pass over, 20ft above the passage below.  You can see the steam passage continue up beyond a set of uneven steps ahead, bending eastward as it goes.  A waterfall sounds out from a larger cavern somewhere ahead of you.

You carry on down the passage, and moments later you enter another cavern.  As you all pile into it, the three goblins there spot you.  One runs up a set of wide uneven steps to the south and the other two quickly take cover behind stalagmites holding their bows ready.  This cavern is half filled with two large areas that held pools of water, now just part of the stream. A narrow waterfall high in the eastern wall feeds the stream, which drains out the western end of the chamber to the cave mouth below.  Low fieldstone walls served as dams holding the water in, but it seems the walls have been breached and the pools emptied.  The source of the floods perhaps?   The sound of the waterfall echoes through the cavern, making it difficult to hear.

Yeemik speaks in Goblin.  

Moralesh whispers to Willow “ if he double crosses us you knock him out”

Sylharice tries to stay calm but at the same time is vigilant. He thinks" the moment  they do those goblins anything  against  us i ll freeze them to death..hmm on the other hand i might take them as statues "

The two hiding Goblins slowly emerge from behind their stalagmites, looking very wary.  They speak to Yeemik in Goblin and only lower their bows has way.

 One points at Willow and Moralesh, then at Sildar. 

 Yeemik gives a growl of frustration.

 The two goblins look at the group suspiciously.  "You help?" one asks in common. "Why help Goblin?"

It turns to look at the steps and grins wickedly.  "Hate Klarg.  He crazy."

The goblins start to move slowly towards the step.  "Careful, he dangerful."

The group carefully move up the steps following Yeemik and the other two Goblins into the next chamber.  Sacks and crates of looted provisions are piled up in the south end of this large cave.  To the west the floor slopes toward a narrow opening that descends into darkness.  In the middle of the cave, the coals of a large fire smoulder.

The lead goblin stops short at the top of the steps, a look of confusion on its face.  "Cave empty."  It says.  Yeemik pushes to the front and looks round the cavern.  "Klarg gone?" he asks as the party files in behind him. 

“How could you not know that Klarg wasn’t hear? He couldn’t have gotten past the three in the other chamber unnoticed. Heads up everyone, I think this is a trick.” Graeme draws Malkie in preparation for an attack.

Willow would nod to the goblins as they talk, speaking for herself. (Speaking Goblin)

 Upon checking the cave over, and noticing Klarg is not here, Willow would be a bit confused. 

"Odd. Maybe leave once got thing he after? Was man named Grunden very important? Question though, what make water rise and try to swallow person earlier?"

“Miss Willow, I believe that was the water that was stored behind the walls in the last cave. Looked like it was stored up just to be released. Possibly just to keep intruders out? Maybe ask the goblins if they broke those walls? “

The cavern remains silent as the party enters, eerily quiet!  There is no sign of any living creature in here; Yeemik and the goblins look confused.  Norwin catches a tiny movement behind the stalagmite close to the fissure, but all that can be heard is the rushing waterfall in the next chamber and the crackling of the fire.

Suddenly a voice booms out, echoing round the cavern so much it's difficult to tell where it might have come from.

"Who dares enter Klarg's dominant?  Klarg the invincibabble, Klarg the indistinctive! Klarg, the incontinent!"  The room remains empty of life.  "Leave now and Klarg will spare your miserly lives.  Stay, and I will gnaw on your bones then use them to build a thong!"  The voice takes on a darker tone.  "It Yeemik, the provender who wants to leader!  How much you pay these fools, Yeemik?  Yeemik betroth them like he betroth Klarg.  Scum goblin!"

Sylharice goes close to Moralesh and whispers " it seems he is a narcissist..and  odds are in our favor..he is trying to intimidate us"

Moralesh whispers back "Yeah I can tell that but what does being incontinent mean?" Moralesh shifts to put Sildar at his back and widen his view of the cave area.

Sylharice continues " like he is uncontrollable? He can't be restrained? Does it make sense to u?"

Willow looks around a bit confused, but responds in her own shout.

"Willow dares. Klarg have Willow tied up for days. Now group and little Orcs get revenge. We tie you up for days. Want watch starve to death, maybe gouge out leg for cowardice. No matter what say, we have little Orcs on team now! You outnumbered, invinci-babbler!"

She stands ready, aloof and waiting for an attack to come her way. She seems ready to pounce or dive. (Dodge Action until otherwise noted)

“Not Klarg tie Willow. Yeemik tie Willow,” comes the answer from the disembodied voice.  It turns sly. ”Yeemik want to be number one.  Yeemik think Klarg no good, well Klarg show Yeemik.  Klarg is mercurialful, will let strangers go if give Klarg Yeemik.  No punish goblins for goblins that try betroth Klarg!”

Willow laughs a bit, still keeping her eyes out, continuing the shouting match.

"Already beat Yeemik. Make Yeemik see our side. Also sound like other little orcs listen to Yeemik, no attack. Yeemik take hostage, we work things out. Yeemik at least present  himself, unlike coward Klarg. No one follow coward. You make noise but don't show face, scared! Scared little orcs win, scared of numbers! If come out, we tie. Maybe others convince Willow not starve Klarg, I think they want talk for info. Maybe you should take offer from them. Less pain, less starving. Willow also spare Klarg wolf, not eat."

She would look to the group, motioning a bit.

"Go on, tell Klarg. You want info? He coward, want be safe from wrath. Willow willing to play along."

“Klarg! We want the dwarf that was with this guy Sildar. Where’d he go? Also you have to stop attacking the locals. The people in this area are not to be attacked or harassed by you and your incontinence.” Moralesh turns to keep his vision going the opposite way as Willow. Trying to keep as much of the area in view as possible. 

Graeme watches this exchange between Willow and the invisible Klarg, at the ready in case Klarg attacks.

Sylharice  gets ready as well  to unleash  his Ray of frost being constantly  on alert
