[[So my choice is impregnating him or killing him?]]
Teslyn would have tied and gagged one or both goblins, given the 15 minutes more to post.
No, he's unconscious. I meant to say knock out, my bad.
Since the sleep spell's effect wears off in a minute, you would need to make sure the goblins are properly unconscious before attempting to tie them up.
Following Teslyn's lead, Maris will pick up Goblin #4 by the collar and punch him in the face to knock him out.
Attack: 22 Damage: 8
All the goblins, except one and the boss, have been knocked out cold now. (combat over)
Sildar turns to you all and says: "Thank you kindly. I was beginning to think I might not get to see the light of day again. You are Gundren's men, aren't you?"
"In a manner of speaking,"Lillian answers. "We were hired by Gundren to do a job, but seeing your horses in the road we took it upon ourselves to investigate your fate. Is Gundren with you? Did you get a sense of what these goblins were interested in other than your possessions?"
"In a manner of speaking,"Lillian answers. "We were hired by Gundren to do a job, but seeing your horses in the road we took it upon ourselves to investigate your fate. Is Gundren with you? Did you get a sense of what these goblins were interested in other than your possessions?"
"They took Gundren away from the beginning, but as to where I have no idea. From what I've managed to gather in my captivity, the goblins were ordered by some King Grol to retrieve him and his maps. He's recently had a breakthrough in his investigations and has managed to locate the Wave Echo cave in this region. But I'm not so sure it is the goblins who want this information..."
Lillian kicks the body of the boss goblin. "Well this one can't enlighten us any further. Perhaps we will have better luck with the bugbear he wanted us to kill."
Lillian kicks the body of the boss goblin. "Well this one can't enlighten us any further. Perhaps we will have better luck with the bugbear he wanted us to kill."
"Oh, that would be Klarg, horrible chap. If he's still alive, he might provide some useful information. I can grab a weapon and assist you if you wish, but I might need to rest a little bit first."
"I think we got what we needed out of this cave. If Gundren isn't here, there's no more we can gain here. That goblin thought he would be at that castle, probably with this King Grol. Anyway, if this bugbear is left alive, maybe there will be other goblins who want him dead later. I like my enemies divided, and my air fresh. I vote let's leave and head to town."
Seems sensible for now. Get Sildar and the supplies to Phandalin, collect our pay, as we were getting that from a third party, and figure out if and how to help Gundren from there. Except maybe treasure.
"I have a request to make," says Sildar. "If you wish to leave this cave, and if you wouldn't mind, could you please escort me to Phandalin? I shall reward you 10 gold pieces each for your service once I get my affairs done."
"If we don't think there is anything more to gain from the Bugbear, it is probably prudent to get out while we are still healthy. However, right now he is down a few minions and if we leave, he will easily rebuild and continue making the road dangerous for travelers along with whatever else it is he is doing here."
"They may not even bother rebuilding here, there's an entire castle with who knows what inside. And who knows how long these pants will last" Maris says, pulling on the tear left by the goblin scimitar from the ambush. "In fact! I'm taking another one of their weapons! Maybe I'll have a matching coat made!" and he will grab whatever implement is closest to him.
"Oh, wait!" Tessa interrupts the discussion. "What's Wave Echo Cave? Why the goblins are so interested about it? And are you saying the goblins were waiting to ambush Gundren!?"There's something odd about this.
Later, when the vote about the proceedings is going on, the halfling feel quite uncertain of the best course of action. "I don't know... If this bugbear Klarg knows where Gundren is, I'd like to have a talk with him. I really understand if you rather want to go to Phandalin instead of risking your lives here, but... And yes, we can always come back as you say, but then they are probably expecting us. Now, I think the other goblins don't know about us yet, so it would be easier to sneak further."
"Gosh, sorry I'm rambling. Is there a vote? I think I vote of going after Klarg now."

"It is all related to the Phandelver Pact," Sildar says.
"More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver’s Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as WaveEchoCave. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge, where magic items could be crafted. But then disaster struck when orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path."
"A powerful force of orcs reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize its riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of WaveEchoCave was lost for centuries to come."
"That is... until the Rockseeker brothers have found it again. I have no idea why would goblins want it, so my suspicion lays with their king. There is probably someone else out there that wishes to find this cave."
"Aye, I believe wiping out Klarg and all the minions here is the best course of action. Should we leave for two days who isn't to say that this "king grol" doesn't send reinforcements and backup here. Im in this to do good in this region and hopefully save a few lives in the process money aside."

Lillian will search the goblin boss for anything of interest (including weapons worth selling).
She finds a burnt scimitar and a burnt javelin. Not really useful or worth taking.
