Tessa produces an impressively realistic illusion of Klarg's decapitated head, complete with crown and matted hair.
"Is it true? Is the old hairball dead? Am I, Yeemik, now leader of our Cragmaw?" cries the big goblin, still dangling his prisoner perilously over the edge of the escarpment. He continues on in Goblin: "Together we shall make King Grol proud!"
Then switching back again to Common, Yeemik adds, "...and you, my guests, will be rewarded with a steep discount. You may have this sad wreck of a human for just 100 gold! In my mercy, I will not hold the death of Grugh against you." He nods soberly at Jergen's recently-vanquished foe.
Bryony may still act, as may Syzygy, who is occupied with the wolves on the bridge, but can hear some of the ruckus.
" 100 gold? A fair offer but we are looking for....", he looks back at the others to check. "....TWO prisoners, I believe. Where may we purchase the other?"
“Be quick Quinn” Syzygy says as he begins tossing the rations to the eastern side of the bridge, “I’m going to burn it once your back, I’ll don’t want to leave you to the wolves, hurry.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Syzygy begins to lead the wolves across the bridge, and begins to examine the rope bridge itself (The rope bridge has AC 5 and 10 hit points, it looks like it could be burned or slashed quite readily.) (Syzygy: Make one more DC15 Animal Handling check - with advantage due to food - to efficiently lead the wolves across where you want them. Failed roll may result in partial success.)
Yeemik crows on, "Ah, that one's already purchased. He's probably already at Cragmaw Castle! Someone named 'the Spider' paid for that one. You'll need to negotiate with a spider! But this one's mine now." He gives the limp, semi-conscious human a shake. "...And for your services, he'll only cost you a mere 100 gold. Alive, even!"
A goblin approaches Sir Roderick, holding a scimitar to his neck (and Readying an action to strike.) Two more goblins approach Jurgen, their scimitars readied. You hear the creak of a bowstring as a fourth goblin aims an arrow at Jurgen from behind a stalagmite up on the shelf (also readied). Whether intentionally or by accident, the fifth goblin at the back of the cave fires an arrow at Jurgen. Shortbow Attack vs. Jurgen: 14. Hit: 3 piercing damage
Bryony, Quinn, Sir Roderick, Jurgen, and Tessa may act next (and Syzygy should make that Animal Handling check.) (Quinn may make an attack roll with advantage to try to cleanly remove Klarg's head from his body. AC 16, 3 HP to do the job. Autocrit on hit.)
Bryony moves forward to be closer to Tessa and her light.The situation with the goblins is tense. If only she could see in the darkness, she could try to sneak up behind the big goblin and get the drop on him. Then one of the goblins fires an arrow at Jurgen, but it misses. Hoping that they may miss a small halfling in the dark, Bryony decides to try her plan anyway, and she will attempt to hide and get as close to the big goblin as she can without being detected.
Sir Roderick looks down at the goblin threatening him with the blade, " Yes, your very scary. I am most afeared. "
" Maybe scowl more....it might help......no now you just look constipated..."
He looked across to the one in charge.
" Can you make up a receipt for this fellow, I'll want to be able to claim this as a work expense. And was that Mr, Ms or Undetermined Spider at Cragmaw?"
Quinn stumbles about the darkened cavern struggling to find the body of Klarg. He thinks he found the body, but perhaps not. Nevertheless, he takes a wild swing at something in the dark and misses wildly!

Jurgen has had enough. He knows we do not have that much gold between us, so he lets an uncharacteristic dragon-like roar. "You will let our friend go!"
Bonus Action:
Draconic Cry
You let out a cry at enemies within 10 ft. of you. Until the start of your next turn, you and your allies have advantage on attack rolls against the enemies that could hear you.
Action: Cast Green Flame Blade and strike at the one in front of him.
Quinn finds Klarg's body where they left it. His first swing catches the thick chain collar attached to the dead goblin boss' chain shirt, and does not penetrate the neck. The high chain collar is a flair of wardrobe that almost suggests that Klarg was worried about just such an offense against him. (Try, try again!)
Bryony, unable to see the goblins, nearly "sneaks" out right in front of them. But her left knee catches a low outcrop of stone, and she decides to climb the southern escarpment instead, putting her beside a clueless goblin archer, his bow trained on Jurgen, seeking cover behind the other side of a stalagmite. Nobody notices.
"No receipts!" cries Yeemik to Sir Roderick's commentary. "Gold, platinum, or silver. Jewels would be fine, but no glass. I really like the little green gems, I forget what they're called. You know, the little round ones?"
Just then, Jurgen attacks with a terrifying war cry, his green flickering blade sunk deep into the goblin in front of him. It collapses in a pool of black blood. (Another one down!) The scimitar-wielding goblin near Jurgen swings its rusty blade: (Readied) Scimitar Attack vs. Jurgen: 24. Hit: 8 slashing damage.
And the bow-wielding goblin near Bryony releases its arrow at Jurgen: (Readied) Shortbow Attack vs. Jurgen: 7. Hit: 7 piercing damage.
The other goblin watching Sir Roderick presses its blade ever closer to his neck.
"Drop the blade!" shrieks Yeemik at Jurgen. "Or I swear I will kill this human!" He shakes the semi-conscious by his neck over the ten-foot drop.
Tessa and Sir Roderick may act next (and Syzygy should make that Animal Handling check.) (Attacks against the scimitar-swinging goblin near Jurgen, or against Yeemik, are at advantage until the start of Jurgen's next turn.)
Taking a few steps forward, Tessa unleashes a beam of crackling energy on the goblin who just struck Jurgen. The beam grazes its hand, searing it slightly, and directing its attention toward the corridor. Sir Roderick may still have an action if he wants (and Syzygy should make that Animal Handling check.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sir Roderick is more than a little unnerved by the bloodthirsty kobold and resolves not to invite him to any family functions, but now that he's in the fight theres nothing else for it....
He cuts at the goblin holding the prisoner hoping to make him drop him out of self preservation.
With his longsword, Sir Roderick manages to run through the goblin holding a scimitar a little too close to his neck. It goes down.
Yeemik drops the human, who falls ten feet, landing face-down on the stone floor below. (Bludgeoning damage: 1). The human is unconscious and bleeding heavily. With a roar, Yeemik hurls his javelin at Sir Roderick: Javelin Attack: 13. Hit: 3 piercing damage.
The other goblin boss throws himself at Sir Roderick with two slashes of his scimitar: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Roderick: 15. Hit: 4 slashing damage. Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Roderick: 7. Hit: 5 slashing damage.
Bryony (hidden) and Syzygy (wrangling wolves) may act next! (I'm holding Quinn's successful turn until he's up.) (Attacks against the scimitar-swinging goblin near Jurgen, or against Yeemik, are at advantage until the start of Jurgen's next turn.)

Syzygy waits for Quinn's return and nervously tries to keep the wolves on the eastern side of the bridge.

Quinn curses at himself in frustration. ”Dammit you old fool. Focus!”
He breathes deeply to settle his nerves. He makes a stead overhead strike.

IF he lopped off his head, Quinn will pick it up and use his move action to run towards the party.
