Elero knows that Trolls are inherently Chaotic Evil, they only organise loosely under a strong leader, but mostly just look out for themselves. How a society like that can be influenced, Elero gets no further insight.
So what is your plan: Do you plan to attack the Slaverers or speak with them? You also haven't checked out one fork of the Topknot caves, where Greezelet came from.
(I'm personally torn, I don't think LANDMOP can survive a combat and be useful at the same time. Maybe moving to the Greezelet cave is the best option for now)
"Might be a good idea to lay low for a while, and maybe see how weakened the topknots are. Is there something of Grezelet's we can take with us, so we have proof that we killed him if they question us?"
Elero shrugs. "Or, well, proof that he's dead. Maybe we keep quiet as to how for now."
"Let's check the final part of this cave and lay low for some time indeed." Erix agrees

You all head into the chamber of the now defunct Topknot tribe. Here the wretched Greezelet and her venomous crew slept and stunk the cavern out with their very presence. On the floor you see a small bound figure. A bald and grey skinned dwarf, unlike any you met in Sharn, is unconscious on the ground. Those of you who speak Dwarven or have been to the continent of Salorna would recognize the dwarf as a Duergar: a race of dwarves driven underground after being betrayed by the Inspired.
Will you wake the unconscious dwarf and, if so, what do you ask him?
Nope None of us; anyone has at least comprehend languages than?^^

Right, he does, which I totally didn't forget about.
"No," Elero responds. "In fact, we...were just forced to defend ourselves against Grezelet, and we...killed him. I think the Topknots are no more, so you're free now, my friend. Who are you, and how did you come to be here?"
The duergar responds to you, "I suppose I owe you that information at least if you've truly killed the Topknots. My name is Werz Saltbaron, a merchant from Gracklstugh, and I have no idea why I am here. One day I was doing the books in my office, then a bag over my head and lights out. Next thing I knew I was a prisoner here, and have been for a little while. Do you plan to also kill the Slaverers? I can only tell you a few things about them from what I've overheard."

Elero speaks Giant, and rolled a 12 for his Nature check.

LANDMOP will try to wake the dwarf, she doesn't speak his language, but will offer a gentle hand and a quick triage check
Medicine 23
Elero doesn't speak dwarven, so he'll keep an eye on the cave entrance, in case the rest of the trolls head this way.
Does anyone speak Dwarven or Undercommon?
Nope None of us; anyone has at least comprehend languages than?^^

(LANDMOP can ritual cast it if you want to take the 10 minutes)
Sure, we can do that. Or just wake him up and see if he understands Common.
Wait, Elero has the Helm of Comprehension correct?
You wake the Duergar and Elero can understand his language. "Who are you, more prisoners of the Topknots?" He asks in a blunt manner.
LANDMOP will shake their head and continue checking over the dwarf for injury or infirmity
Right, he does, which I totally didn't forget about.
