Tygron says”Ye’ve been stealing this from travelers on the trail no doubt. Yer gonna learn crime don’t pay. Yer lucky if we let you live. Don’t worry, we be puttin it to a good cause.”
He takes the things, all the goblins weapons, and then goes to help Ryn with questioning the bugbear, goblin’s weapons hanging out of his overstuffed pack.
”Them goblins wanted us to cut off Yer head and bring it to them. They don’t seem to like ye very much. Yer lucky we wanted to ask ye some questions afore we did that. Is there more to these caves here ? “
“shame we had to kill yer wolf. The other ones are still alive. Hope you’ve been keeping them well fed n happy- fer yer sake, we’ve a mind to be settin em free when we go.”
Ryn: Waving Tygron over to appear more threatening, Ryn holds the tip of his spear to Klag's throat and says, "Calm down there big guy. I imagine I can find the castle easily enough myself. I want details. Who told you where Gundren would be? What else do you know about King Grol and the Black Spider's operation? What is the best way to get into the Castle undetected? Speak!"

"Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien
"All Klarg knows is that a messenger turns up a few days ago. The messenger tells Klarg to look out for a Dwarf named Gundren, capture him and send him to Cragmaw Castle along with all he was carrying. The messenger also tells Klarg that the Black Spider is paying for this...but didn't know who the Black Spider was. You need Kong Grol."
He looks at the two of them
"If you're going to kill Klarg, make it quick"
Klarg looks spent, you feel he is telling you the truth and there is no more to tell.
While all this is happening, Melaria would head to the waterfall, taking off her clothes, keeping something on to cover her bottom half, she'll stand under the waterfall and run her hands through her hair, rinsing off her body. After she's done, she'll walk out of the pool and put her clothes back on. She shakes out her hair and approaches Tygron. Those who did not see her do any of this might notice her now wet hair.
Tyrgon replies, loud enough for the bugbear to hear.“how’d ye get all wet me girl? couldn’t resist a dip in a clean cave spring, eh? Yeah-we gots what we be needin. I think we should head out- leave the Goblins to fend fer themselves tied up, let the wolves loose- only question Is do we put this one out o’ his misery, leave him to his pets, or bring ‘Im wit as a guide? In any case, I wants to make sure the wolves eat goblin or bugbear not mule fer their dinner...” He looks at the others.
Melaria will look beyond Tygron and grin toward the Bugbear. "Well, it's been a while since I've had a bath in a waterfall, who knows when I'll be able to again... But can I do the honors? Nothing like finishing up a bath with another bath... in blood." She'll say, hoping the Bugbear hears.
Ryn: Satisfied that Klarg is telling the truth, Ryn says, "Don't worry, you will live, so long as you do what you're told. Tygron and I are men of our word."
He cuts Klarg's bonds and stands next to Tygron before saying, "When I find this King Grol and Black Spider, I will make absolutely certain that he knows it was Klarg and Yeemik who told me how to find him. I suggest you be a hundred leagues away by then."
"There is a community of Goblin folk in North Neverwinter Wood where you may find a home. The cold climates have made them a more peaceful and cooperative people out of necessity for survival. Go there and make a new life. If I see you again, I will kill you."
Ryn: Stopping the Bugbear, Ryn interrupts, "I think you misunderstand. You're taking the goblins with you. They are now your responsibility. I find any of them in these lands, I'm coming to track you down when all this is over."
"It is in your best interest that we win against King Grol and the Black Spider. If we die when we face them, they will be coming after you. After further information you have would be helpful - for all of us."

"Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Melaria, seeing the look on Tygrons face will give him a smirk. "Don't worry, I won't do it. It's just... The fear you can drive into someone is one that excites me... Anyways..."
She turns her attention to Ryn and continues as if she didn't just say that. "All Goblins look the same to me.. but I also know not all goblin tribes act this way... Maybe we mark them so we know if these ones return?"
Klarg nods "Leave them tied up. You won't see them again. Klarg has told you all he knows. Klarg would like to say his goodbye to Yeemik now" he says eying up some of the rocks in the room...
Cut to Teo, sitting on the floor, notebook open, sketching a pensive Yeemik. "I really think this could be a turning point for you, Yeemik. I really feel like things are going to get better for you. Turn over a new leaf, you know? Patch things up with Klarg and make a fresh start? Who knows, one day you could be leading your own crew? Anyway, just something for you to mull over."
Teo adds a couple more pencil strokes to his sketch and leans back to admire his handiwork. As he stands, he tucks his notebook and pencils away. "And thank you, Yeemik, for choosing to talk this out with us. We've done so much killing today. It's nice to take the peaceful route once in a while."
Indio holds his peace, waiting for the group to make up their minds and do what needs to be done. He sits on the floor, his legs crossed, simply watching. Intimidating prisoners is not the forté of someone of his stature. As he observes, he does notice Melaria bathe, but turns his view to respect her privacy. He seems content to wait.
some cleanup- Tygron will search around and make sure we didn’t miss anything, then we will let the goblin/bugbear situation resolve itself, leaving the bugbear with one HP, no weapons except for rocks and sticks. We will load up the mules with any higher value general supplies the group thinks is worth trading and all the weapons.
finally, with the mules guarded, Tygron will give the wolves some more meat, and unchain them, encouraging them to go be free but don’t bother us or our mules.then we will head back on the trail to our wagons. All agreed?))
Teo looks over the new cargo. “I’d say that detour went about as well as one could expect. Do any of you casters have a way to determine if any of these recovered items are magical? I wouldn’t be surprised if Klarg were sitting on some powerful artifact without realizing it.”
Tygron says “Aye, I can do it that- hate to leave anything. It be taking me a few minutes. “. He will ritual cast detect magic and walk around the caves while concentrating - just to make sure we didn’t miss anything magical.
"This lair has been in use for a while," the little monk observes. "So much disruption to trade can't have gone unnoticed by whatever local authorities there may be in the area. Perhaps someone will pay is to get to the bottom of it." He gives a wry smile.

At the mention of his underlings plotting against him, he goes into a blind rage for a moment.
"KLARG WILL KILL YEEMIK" ((strength check against rope 8))
He wrestles against the rope for a few moments and then gives in and hangs his head, utterly dejected.
"This is the only cave here and by the look of your bag you been through all the rooms. I can lead you to Cragmaw Castle..."

"Did we get the information we needed Ty?"
I don't have a signature.
Tyrgon replies, loud enough for the bugbear to hear.“how’d ye get all wet me girl? couldn’t resist a dip in a clean cave spring, eh? Yeah-we gots what we be needin.

He continues in Goblin,

“Mayhap ye wants to say bye to yer friends afore ye go- they sure wanted to see yer head again! Tygron says with a smile.
Klarg stands unsteadily and rubs his head. He crouches slowly, eying the group, and gives Ripper a surprisingly affectionate scratch behind the ear.
"Klarg will miss Ripper." Then to the group: "Do what you must to the goblins, they are wretched little things, but be nice to the wolves"
Standing again he nods his thanks to Ryn and Tygron, and regards Melaria with a mixture of fear and trepidation.
