Kitryn after shooting her xbow at the goblin and seeing someone go after it turns around and looks at the battle scene before her. She looks around for anything of use. (on the corpses.. keys, maps, notes etc)
The wheezing goblin speaks in broken common to Rindelk, "Have you heard about Maglubiyet, the true god? He will conquer all the lesser gods and until his conquest is done, this world will continue to be mired in chaos and despair. Convert, hear Maglubiyet's will and kill all false worshipers until the world is cleansed! Call off your cat, take me to safety and I will teach you."
Side note: as the battle seems over, DIREWOLF LEEK will take the time to go around, rip all the throats of all the evil creatures here and bleed them dry. That's what I will be doing until something else requires my attention.
This chamber occupies the northern tower of the castle. A stone altar stands in the middle of the room, covered with bloodstained black cloth. Golden ritual implements — a chalice, a knife, and a censer — are carefully arranged on top of the altar. Two archways to the south were covered with heavy curtains.
Moving counter-clockwise, Kitryn moves into a room full of stores:
Old casks of salted meat and sacks of rotting grain fill this storage area. Among the supplies, you see a bloody suit of chain mail, a heavy crossbow, and an unsheathed longsword with the emblem of Neverwinter worked into its hilt.
Heading south into the hall with the trapped hall:
Doors stand cluttered with goblin corpses to the north and south, with a crumbling mound of rubble partially obscuring the southern hall. To the east, a broad corridor is filled with stone and wood rubble that crashed to the floor when the owlbear triggered the trap.
Further south:
The southwest tower of the castle is little more than a heap of rubble. Several ragged bedrolls are scattered across the remaining floor space, and a small, twisting passage leads east through the ruins.
Eastward:
The western portion of this large hall ends in a wall of rubble, but the remainder is still intact. This must once have been the castle’s banquet hall, with a soaring ceiling twenty-five feet high. Two large wooden tables with plain benches stand in the middle of the room, and a brass brazier full of glowing coals is tucked into one corner. Dirty dishes, half-full stewpots, moldy heels of bread, and gnawed bones cover the tables.
Up north to where Leek slaughtered the prostate goblin:
This tower has almost completely collapsed, although the ground floor still has a little open space. Rotting crates and ancient barrels show that provisions were once stored here. A heavy curtain blocks a crumbling area to the south, and an intact door leads east. To the north, a short passage through the rubble ends before a screen of canvas.
And finally back west to the room with the dead worm-like creature:
This high, narrow hall looks as if it might have been part of a chapel or shrine at one time. Angelic figures are sculpted along the room’s upper reaches, looking down on the floor below. To the north, the remains of heavy curtains block a matching pair of archways. Between the archways is a cracked but ornately carved stone brazier with the corpse of a large serpentine creature smothering it.
Human made knife, censer and chalice worth 60gp, 120gp and 150gp respectively are found in the chapel.
Chain mail, longsword with emblem of Neverwinter and a heavy crossbow are found in the stores room.
There are still parts of the castle that have not been explored.
Elila follows the group seeing if anyone might need help.

Survival 19
Rindelk easily follows the blood trail and finds the goblin leaning against a tree, panting from exhaustion and blood loss.
(What do you do?)
I threaten to prepare a firebolt if he doesn't remain where he is.
The goblin is so winded, it doesn't even speak. It just slumps down into a sitting position, resting against the tree.
Elila moves and dashes until she stands behind Leek.
(What is everyone else doing?)

Kitryn roll Investigation check. And what rooms, if you decide to leave this one?

Sorry, I've been out of town. Not sure what is going on in the battle.
DIREWOLF LEEK will kill anything, be it the wimpering goblin, the one slumped in the tree or the mood. Whatever!
DIREWOLF ATTACK: Attack: 24 Damage: 12
Leek takes a step forward and rips the throat out of the whimpering and prostate goblin. His violence also kills the mood.
Katerielle catches up to Rindelk, next to the slumped over goblin, leaning on a tree.

Elila ponders the actions of her companion and concludes that it is better to be safer than sorer.

As Elila stands there doing nothing beyond pondering, roll a Perception check.
Katerielle will head back to the ruined castle with a snort. She will stay in cat form for now.

Kitryn investigates all the rooms from which they had killed things while she waits for the remainder of the party to gather from their goblin talks.
Investigate 23
Kitryn begins in the altar room where he is:
This chamber occupies the northern tower of the castle. A stone altar stands in the middle of the room, covered with bloodstained black cloth. Golden ritual implements — a chalice, a knife, and a censer — are carefully arranged on top of the altar. Two archways to the south were covered with heavy curtains.
Moving counter-clockwise, Kitryn moves into a room full of stores:

Is someone making a list of the equipment booty we find?
