"Anyone speak...goblin?...In that case...perhaps we should...interrogate these ones...before we decide their fate." Selene continues, a little paler now.
"Unfortunately I do not. I do speak the language of their larger cousins, the orcs, but in my experience, these gutter rats all speak common or at least understand it enough. Do we want to interrogate them?" Raadox asks the group once he has checked out the room.
Selene, to surprised to let out a scream then feels the warmth of the healing magic course through her chest. "Thank you Daerryl, you are a life saver."She says with a warm smile "Do you think it possible to get something out of our prisoners?"
"If it is as you think Raadox I would be glad to talk to one of them if you could just bring a goblin over here and wake it up while I catch my breath."
"At once milady," Raadox smiles. He goes and carefully picks up one of the slumbering goblins and takes it to where Selene has sat herself down. "Be warned: the other goblin will wake naturally soon." Once he and she are ready he will shake the goblin heavily and wake it. He's not being kind, nor gentle.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Oh and can you be ready to silence it swiftly should it attempt to warn it´s bretheren"Selenes says and then turns to the woke up goblin.
"Hrm, know goblin that you might still live through this if you quickly tell us everything you know about your tribe with regard to numbers positions, layout of your territory and where you keep that dragon you stole from the kobolds"
Intimidation: 26 rolled with advantage if bloodthirsty Daerryl just could stare at it a bit.
Selene also offers pen and a parchment to allow the goblin to draw a map of their territory.
"Wha? Ahh! Um... next room is archery range. Our tribe is 50 or so. But not that many fighters. Tribe village is that way (he points west) and the dragon is that way (he points north). Nasty creature that, soon our hunter will be back to deal with it," the goblin answers shaking. At this point the other goin is also stirring.
Raadox screws his eyes up, thinking. "So the dragon is that way? North, through that wall? The only way out of this guard room (#32) is south through that door. Does that mean we need to double back on ourselves to find the dragon?" he asks in the common tongue.
Raadox turns to the group and speaks in elvish, hoping some or most will understand him. "What do you think? Maybe we dispatch the other goblin and convince this one to be our new guide until he proves unhelpful? Or just kill them both now?" He speaks with a totally flat voice with no emotion as he speaks of killing the goblins. It's notably different to his usual cheerful demeanour.
"Oh, a tad bit bloodthirsty aren´t we." Selene answers in elvish "Are you sure we couldn´t just tie them up or something, I don´t see them being a threat anymore, do you?"
"I actually think we got what we need from these two, so I would prefer not to kill them, and I expect Kiori at least is with me on that one." Selene turns to Kiori for support but then realizes neither him nor Daerryl undertands the conversation in elvish so she switches to the common tongue. "Raadox just told me that it is important to keep our promises to these goblins, perhaps we could tie them and gag them for now?"
"If we just get past that archery range we will almost be there I think. I can use more fey magic to put some of them to sleep."
"Even stronger than you, you mean, is that even possible?" Selene says, her words drippng with sarcasm "I think mighty Kiori here will just bite his head off when he decides to return, but thanks for the warning."Selene continues, seeming not overly concerned with the possible return of the goblin hunter. "If there weren´t anything else, then perhaps you gentlemen could wrap our informants up so that we can collect that dragon" Selene then says making herself ready to continue.
"Thanks for translating, lady Selene" Kiori answers "leaving them tied while we go forward is good for me. There is little honor in killing a tied and defeated foe." His eyes light up at the mention of a hunter "now that's an enemy worth defeating."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Assuming everyone is ready, Raadox will draw both swords - as we are moving into goblin-territory now - and move forward quietly. He's continuing to scan with Detect Magic (if needed will recast as a Ritual before heading out).
"Anyone speak...goblin?...In that case...perhaps we should...interrogate these ones...before we decide their fate." Selene continues, a little paler now.
Daerryl grabs the arrow in a darting motion and jerks it out before Selene has much chance to react.
“Easy now, the hard part is over. Here comes the good part.” He then puts his palm across the wound and casts cure wounds 8
“I also happen to speak goblin. They’re everywhere, so you pick up some stuff in life, ya know?”

Raadox watches as Daerryl deals with the arrow. "Impressive. Most impressive," he nods at the little one.

Daerryl will make sure the goblins are tied up first, and drag them over the wall to the near side, where they entered from.

The goblin changes his finger to Northwest direction. "Pass archery range."

“What’s that about a hunter coming back to deal with the dragon?” Daerryl’s attention fixes on the goblin who spoke about it.

"Oh he is the one who took the dragon from the kobolds. Very strong. You better hope you aren't here when he gets back."
"Even stronger than you, you mean, is that even possible?"
