Lost Mine of Phandelver (Kolbitr DM)

Silas meets resistance from the bound dwarf, he manages to search the empty pockets on Gundren's right side but the dwarf rolls and squirms to prevent Silas from getting at his left pockets. This is clearly a deliberate action on the part of the dwarf. It would require a little strength to roll the dwarf over and get at what he is trying to keep from you.

Strength 18

(Just a heads up that my wife is going to be out of town through Tuesday night, so Ive got the (three) kids to myself, meaning my posting will probably be spotty in the meantime.  I'll try to keep up at least a post a day, but no promises.)

Insight to see if vandar recognizes any of what Silas did: 10

No problem Vanderlegion, thanks for the heads up.

Taking a few steps back Silas charges throwing his entire weight into turning the stubborn dwarf over,  and succeeds. Upon searching Gundrens remaining pockets Silas discovers a roll of parchment, it appears to be the map to Wave Echo Cave. After Silas takes the map Gundren begins struggling with new vigor attempting to break free of his bonds.

Strength: 10

He is unable to break his bonds for the time being.

"What is it?" Vandar whispers to silas.

“Settle down dwarf. Seems you’re holding out on us.” Lothar said as they frisked the dwarf

"I am begining to think this is not a dwarf for some reason. But I did not find anytype of maguc effecting him." Tibern explains to them as he readies his rapier.

"Its a map, of wave echo cave. And I also believe that this is not Gundren."  Silas will take out his short sword and prepare for a conflict.

Vandar also readies himself to fight

Lothar attempted to restrain the dwarf even further should they have a need to run him through.

Gundren, if that really is his name, is not going anywhere at the moment. He is now very tightly bound and gagged. At this point the goblins seem to be relaxing a little and the robed one appears to be preaching again. You now posses the map to Wave Echo Cave, but if this is not Gundren then you still don't know what happened to the dwarf.

"We should try to find the real Gundren. My guess is that he is back inside. Maybe we should look for another way in. This entrance seems to be shut for the time being." silas whispers to the others. 

Everyone take 200xp for defeating the wolf, the bugbear, and finding the map.

"I do truly hope this is not the real Gundren who is under some kind of spell or what not. " Tibern mutters to himself as he runs a hand through his hair."

"Under a spell?" Vandar says, looking down at the "Gundren" lying before them.  "I'm more worried about whether he's even still ALIVE..."

So what would you guys like to do? You have the map to Wave Echo Cave, and while the dwarf seems very suspicious the map appears to be legitimate. The goblins seem to have no intention of giving chase, a moments reflection (and your passive insight scores) is enough to realize that you have likely just killed the leader of this group of goblins and that the robed goblin has taken advantage of the situation and installed himself as leader. This new leader probably neither knows nor cares what the old one was up to.

"I do truly hope this is not the real Gundren who is under some kind of spell or what not. " Tibern mutters to himself as he runs a hand through his hair."

 (Totally misread this as the real gundred being under a spell somewhere else, not that this was the real gundren but under a spell.  So my response doesn't make quite as much sense reading it the CORRECT way, but oh well)

"If we're assuming this is somehow not the real gundred and are worried the real gundren is still inside, can we really leave without looking for him?"

"If we are to go inside we should get ready for a fight. I do not want to risk getting into a situation where they surround us." Tibern says as be looks to them.

"Maybe we can come back here if we need to. But maybe moving this "Gundren" first and getting all the info we can first may prove to be more useful then getting surrounded." Silas does not like the idea of goblins surrounding him.
