Sildar draws his sword and waits for a signal

Ol makes it clear he intends to take out the nearest Goblin. If we take them out from closest to furthest they may not hear us coming. Ol tells his companions one by one.

Brand if this goes wrong be ready to create us some distraction, hopefully we can get another shot in before this goes to blades.

Brand loots the corpses and puts whatever he finds in his backpack. 

"Nicely done everyone. Theqen, when ready lead the way"

Theqen hides himself so well that you lose sight of him almost immediately. 

He returns after a minute or so

Looks like the cave of the leader. There's a bugbear on a big pile of furs with a wolf resting beside him and two goblins scurrying around. It's very open and he's facing the entrance. Going to be hard to sneak up on him, there's no cover other than some piles of junk you could duck behind to try and avoid an arrow to the face, but we could try firing from the entrance. They'd be able to get to us pretty quickly after that though so we'd need to make it count. 

Any signs of any other exits out of that cave, Sildar - Thequin?

Brand turns to Sildar.

Have you been to this part of the cave before? Anything we should know about this part of the cave or the bugbear? Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with the situation?

Sildar leans in

I have not been any further into this cave than where you found me. I did not hear anything more about the bugbear beyond his name. If we are to rain arrows on then, I will not be of much help until they close the ground between us. 

Brand looks at the others, as there is nothing else forthcoming from his companions. Brand says this

Theqen remain hidden as you are and the rest of you guys hide. I'll enter that section of the cave with the bugbear and try to engage him in conversation, see what information I can get out of him. If it goes badly and he and his minions attack me, I'll run back to where you guys are and hopefully you can pull off a successful ambush on them. However, regardless of whether we do this by negotiation or by iron and blood, we don't leave the cave until all these raiders who attack innocents on the road are maggot food. Horus-Re wills it so.

Brand turn around and walks into the section of the cave with the bugbear, while humming a hymn but stops just inside the entrance and waits for them to notice him.
