Penley,your taunting is highly ineffective on this wolf, who has much gooier(is that a word? Is it spelt like that?) prey in mind. Unfortunately for the wolf, that prey doesn't want to be prey just yet. The dagger embeds itself into the wolfs shoulder, and doesn't seem to have much effect. That is until the wolf takes another step and changes the pressure on their veins. Blood sprays out, and the wolf starts losing consciousness. (it is dead, but you took it to exactly 0 so giving it a slower death to reflect the fact the damage was only just enough. It won't get another turn)
As Bok'Shir backs up he hears Muck's exclamation and notices that his companion had not taken his advice and backed up at all. He takes one longing look back towards the cave entrance, before drawing his sword and rushing in to the fray swinging. As he swings, green flame flickers along his sword.
If he hits the unharmed wolf, the flame jumps to the other wolf, that is already staggering and bleeding out anyway.
"Leave be!", he snarls.

Penley goes in for the kill. He flips off the wall, landing on his feet, and dashes forward. He runs to the left of the Wolf, using his claws to dig into the wall as he runs along its side. Then, he leaps off, and with both hands conjures a spear made of celestial energy, which he throws at the wolf before landing behind Bok'Shir

Bok'Shir deftly avoids the snapping jaws of the wolf, and then sees Penley arrive acrobatically, but the wolf still stands. His shield held firmly and Penley now behind him, he once again swings his sword at the wolf. He looks to be nodding agreement as he does so, but it is unclear why.
"Flee or fall!", he snarls this time.
Action: Attack wolf with longsword- To Hit: 15+5=20, Damage: 2+3=5 [slashing].
Bridgette looks at the goblin and scratches her head.
"Oh... I guess that I didn't quite understand the purpose of the 'eating room,'" she says. "It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to feed him to wolves... I'd kind of think it would be better to just, you know, leave him on the side of the road so that you could rob him again the next time he's travelling this way instead of feeding him to wolves or whatever..."
She pauses, glancing at the cave.
"Do you think they've been gone a bit too long?" she asks.
(Sorry, I always have trouble with theater of the mind. Am I engaged in melee with anyone, or can I move without triggering an opp attack? Also, who still stands? Is it just the wolf?)

So you were in melee with the wolf. But Bok'shirhas killed it. Combat is over. Where to next?
Outside: "The eating cave is the cave we eat in. It is also the largest cave so the easiest to keep him in. I don't know what the plan with him is, other than keep him weak enough that he can't rescue the dwarf. It isn't my place to decide. They have been gone a while, but no water has rushed out so the goblins haven't triggered the flood yet. They must have declared their peaceful intentions and are having a friendly chat with the rest of the clan to come to a mutual agreement. Probably involving giving a ransom for the human."
Muck, still holding the dagger in his trembling hand says, "You saw that right? He started it! I was just minding my business and this mean old wolf just..."Muck mimics a biting gesture.
Stowing the blade, Muck looks around and says,"I don't think I like this place anymore. How do we get to this 'eating cave' thing so we can get the heck outta here?"
Looking back down the passage where they came, it adds, "...and maybe we should get Bridgett to come with us so she can help make more wolfs die if they try to bite us."

“Give me a second and I think I can find it.” Penley sniffs the air, his bestial nose searching for the scent of trash and meat. At least, he thinks that’s what goblins eat
"We not good keep promise", Bok'Shir says as he looks down upon two more dead goblins. "Promise stupid. No can keep when Blik outside", he adds shaking his head.
He looks across to Muck and nods, "Let get Bridgette and Blik. Hide bodies first".
He looks up at Penley, waiting to see if he agrees.
“Fine…” Penley sighs in response. “We can bring the goblin inside” he hefts one of the bodies, and, not knowing where else to put it, he dumps the spy in the far corner of the easternmost pool, throwing it near the waterfall.

Muck weakly kicks some dirt on any remaining bodies like a cat burying its mess in a litter box, then hurries off with Bok'Shir to go grab Bridget.
As they walk, Muck asks, "Uh, Mr. Bok'Shir sir... I have a question about the rules... Is it still lying if you don'ttell someone something? Like... I kinda don't wanna tell Blik about killing his friends because I think he'd be mad at us... but there's this little voice inside my goo saying I should tell Blik about killing his friends and that it would be lyingif we didn't tell him... But that just doesn't make any sense... How can it be lying when I'm not even saying anything, right?"

"Muck has follow what feel right", Bok'Shir says. "All must choose how act", he adds after a moments thought.
"I not feel need tell, if Blik not ask", he decides as they walk back.
As they approach the entrance he looks to Penley, trying to decide if the Tabaxi would lie through their fangs to Blik or just openly admit it and not care. Then he thinks about Bridgette and turns back to Muck, "I not best at explain. Best ask Bridgette".
You all meet up, the wolves growling as you walk past their cave, one body well disposed of, the other four kind of hidden, and just mounds of dirt that look a bit out of place.
Stepping out of the cave, Muck moves immediately to Bridget, turning its "back" toward Blik and asking without any mention of what happened in the cave, "Bridget, what is lying?"

Penley sees how the other bodies were not very well hidden, and tries to hastily throw them in the pool too. He finishes this, then uses his long legs to catch up to Bok'shir and Muck.
As Bridgette questions Muck, Penley butts in before the tactless slime replies and ruins their chances of using their little friend as a guide. "We tried to convince some of your friends that we meant no harm, and they said we were lying. They attacked us, but luckily we managed to knock them out and tie them up."
He turns to Blik "Can you tell us how to get to the eating cave? We found that bridge and the room with those pools of water, but where do we go next?"
Edit: forgot a deception check for that lie. Here I go: 26
Muck breathes a sigh of relief and visibly relaxes. "Oh, good. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't lying right now."
Muck then turns to Blik and waves, "Hi, Blik!"
...then turns back to Bridgette again. "So, we haven't found the eating cave yet, but we might be close. Should we go back in or take a quick breather?"

The second wolf is very injured while the first one has its bleeding cauterised. But too late, too much blood is lost and it's well and truly dead.
The surviving wolf attacks Bok'shir, 10 to hit.
Time for you all to kill it

The flowing water seems to be making your nose play up. The whole cave system smells damp and trashy. And you can't smell meat close by.
