Yeemik laughs. "You threat at Yeemik, but youdo Yeemik great service! Ha-ha! You kill Klarg, you keep hims junk. Cragmaw don't want, Cragmaw don't need!" The other goblins chitter in approval. "No more bossy us around! You take Klarg junk, you go! You want man back, you pay!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Stonegrin steps forward and through gritted teeth says, "We certainly will not pay, we killed the vermin that had you under his thumb. Your lot will fair no better if you push this, release the human and we'll leave! Kill him or refuse and all of you will die"
Intimidation in case it's needed: 13
Edit: Ninja'd, I will leave this here, but feel free to disregard and go with Mitsu's option.
Stonegrin looks back to the rest of the group and speaking in a whisper says, "There are quite a few of them lads, I think we could take 'em but if we can resolve without and save our strength we should try."
After collecting enough food from every companion, leaving just 2/3 rations each for themselves, Meleager whispers to the others to stay alert, then he holds the food and says:
Good deal, indeed, chief Yemik, here you are, that's all we have, please spare that unchewable man!
With all of you working together, you are able to clear out all of the supplies from Klarg’s cave and add them to your cart over the next couple of hours. The goblins don’t help, but do seem to be celebrating the successful negotiations of their leader.
Maybe you have some medicine or your deities healing for this unlucky man?
Meleager doesn't hide he is worried. Even if he wished to sterminate all this festering lot, he agrees with the former-prisoner
Yes, let's move on
He helps the others retrieve all the Klarg's stuff.
Doing so, he remembers there are still dogs on leash, looking at the ranger, saying
Stonegrin, what do you suggest to do with the dogs? If we leave them here, they will surely starve or worst, be eaten by that lot...shall we free them? Don't want them to bite us, though...
Once at the cart, he finally relaxes, he gives a slice of bread and some water to the ex-prisoner.
So, tell us, who are you and how did you end up there?
Mitsu releases the energy he's storing in his hand, not casting the spell. He sneaks down the passage until he can see the goblins.
Stealth: 16
And that's all I have to say about that.
The goblin who is missing an ear starts chittering back to the others, then gestures to you, inviting you to join Meleager in the larger cave.
Then Yeemik pipes up again "Yes, bring your friends! We talk."
Mitsu stands his ground in the passage entrance, frowning.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Yeemik again shouts down at Meleager "Cookie tells Yeemik you come out from Klarg cave. What you do with Klarg? Is Klarg sended you?"
Mitsu speaks up slowly but firmly as his eyes darken.
"Klarg is dead. You will too if you hurt him."
Intimidation: 18
And that's all I have to say about that.
Yeemik laughs. "You threat at Yeemik, but youdo Yeemik great service! Ha-ha! You kill Klarg, you keep hims junk. Cragmaw don't want, Cragmaw don't need!" The other goblins chitter in approval. "No more bossy us around! You take Klarg junk, you go! You want man back, you pay!"
Despite the tenseness of the situation, Mitsu is barely able to stop himself from laughing.
"Yes! I pay a lot!" he says, lifting his arms and silently casting Minor Illusion. A whooshing sound is heard, followed by the light tapping of feet.
"I make spirit guard for you!" Mitsu says, smiling.
"You have him to protect you and give luck, but only if you let human go."
Deception: 17
And that's all I have to say about that.
Stonegrin steps forward and through gritted teeth says, "We certainly will not pay, we killed the vermin that had you under his thumb. Your lot will fair no better if you push this, release the human and we'll leave! Kill him or refuse and all of you will die"

"You no bossy us! We give you man, then we no eat! You want man, you bring food! Good deal!" You hear the goblins chitter in approval.
"Man for food! And take Klarg Junk!"
Stonegrin looks back to the rest of the group and speaking in a whisper says, "There are quite a few of them lads, I think we could take 'em but if we can resolve without and save our strength we should try."
Mitsu whispers back to Stonegrin.
"I have some food. Should we give to them?"
And that's all I have to say about that.
Meleager replies also whispering:
excellent! We must give them a lot of food, indeed
Meleager

Yeemik accepts your offering, and unties the man, who hobbles toward you. He is badly injured and has no equipment
Meleager holds the unstable man under his arm
are you hurt?
Mitsu starts stepping back out of the cavern, keeping his eyes on the goblins and trusting the others to help this mystery man.
And that's all I have to say about that.
“Yes, badly.” The man replies “we shouldn’t linger, they’ll only demand more.”
Yeemik announces again “You take Klarg junk, you go free! Go away! Go away!”
The other goblins begin chanting “Goway! Goway!”
Mitsu hurries out with the others, making sure they did grab Klarg's stuff.
And that's all I have to say about that.
