As Crispy gets closer, the person came more into view. It was a hobgoblin. He stood there in half plate armor and a greatsword sheathed behind him. His had the trademark pointed ears of a goblin, but his skin was a coppery red. He looks at Crispy with arms crossed. "So you are the group who killed the goblins near the entrance." He spoke in common. "Do you just seek to exterminate the goblins here or just flush them out?"
"No, i'm pizza delivery." She says with as much sarcasm as possible. "Did you order the large with extra sausage?" She raises her blades, ready to strike. "Who in the Hells are you, and why should I answer your questions?"
"Because I can either help you get rid of them or just keep throwing them at you." He motions to a small hole and a goblin emerges. It just stood where the man pointed to. "We just need them for manual labor and we have almost achieved our goal. If you would wait a few hours, we shall leave. No need for blood."
Now getting more frustrated, "No," She makes a guttural noise from her throat, "We're not..called 'pizza', we're.." She takes a moment and calms herself down. "Hells, you people are dumb. How about you answer our questions?" She turns to Bennett. "I'm gonna kill this guy if he doesn't start giving us details."
Bennett smiles and his eyes go black again, "I suggest you tell us everything you know about your orders, the cave, and it's goblins. How many there are, where they are, what you guys are here for. That's just a Suggestion though."
"Oh, gee, I dunno..? Because i'll kill you otherwise?" She raises her blades. "Yes, you moron, you said you're under orders." Crispy sighs to the bugbear. "WHY." She turns to Bennett with a look of murderous frustrated intent.

His eyes glaze over as he sighs, "Guide her to the cave, use the goblins to get to what she wants. And there's ten goblins here and the last five helping them." His eyes clear up as he answers.
The goblin taps onto the hobgoblin, speaking its tongue. "Hmm, this one says you used magic. Is that true?"
Crispy looks at Bennett and stands up straight, forgetting the bugbear. She stays quiet for a moment, but eventually says, "A did a lot of hurtful, bad, nasty things to people that deserved it. And then some other things, too. Things i'm not very proud of. Things that keep me up at night. Why, you taking notes, or something..?"
Bennett tilts his head and stares at Crispy, while also keeping the hobgoblin in his peripheral. "I was taught to seek out information. I was trained for that. I was always lectured that some information is better than no information. I'd rather know what we're up against than just jump in with spells blazing. I did not mean to open up any hurtful wounds, but I feel it would be in the groups best interest and safety if we knew what exactly we were up against." Bennett turns to the hobgoblin and awaits his response to the suggestion.

If Bennett can see me, I hold my hand behind my back and signal:
There's a person here. Waving me over. I'm going in.
I don't look back for a response, it's just to inform the group. I don't want to give away I can communicate silently.

She says, "Why don't you tell me what you're doing here in the first place."
"Orders. We were told to come here and retrieve something before the miners."
“Uh huuuhhh...” Crispy says, impatiently. “Orders frommm? And what thing?”
"Why would a group called pizza care. We are just following orders."
Bennett approaches and his eyes squint. "Listen. Her and I are ex-military. We all know about following orders, what was your mission?"

"You fail to answer mine, why should I answer yours? And I have no care for your military, I only care for my people. And my people ordered us here."

"I didn't need help, Bennett." She growls, frustrated at the stubbornness of the bugbear. "I had this. One way or another."

Bennett turns to Crispy. "What did you do in the military?" he scowls and looks at you with his black eyes.
