== CHENNA == (and I apologize for stealing the spotlight and then disappearing for two days)
Taking in the scenery, Chenna considers his options for a moment.
"Oh might bugbear," he bows, "I will not waste your time. I offer you three gold for each of the adults and another three gold for the children. And that you will never see us again in these parts. Unless you wish to, of course." (persuasion in case it's needed: 14)
(Ooc: yep, that figure is you! You hurriedly enter the cave and encounter three adventurers sitting around a fire, smell of burnt meat enters your nose)
Handy stops short at the trio. Nervously he stays back and says "H .. Hello, I'm Detective Harothgar of the City Watch and I have advanced on this area in search of the Tanicum family. They were reported last seen in this goblin infested woods and I am hoping to find them alive if possible." Handy looks around at this odd group and hopes he is among friends.
The genasi quickly stomps on the burning tinder to put the fire out of the campfire and tries to salvage the remaining edible wolf meat.
"Name's Waft detective. If you're looking for people, they might be among the prisoners inside the dark room.
Our paladin is currently negotiating with the goblin's leader inside for their release. It depends who will come out of the room on what we'll do next. For now, we wait."
To the whole room, "WE WELL BE WALKING OUT OF HERE VERY SOON. STAY CALM AND FOLLOW THE TUNNEL OUT OF HERE."
He will step away from the chest and to open a path for the people to run out. Doing it he will turn sideways and place his shield side towards the hostiles (which is to say take a dodge action).
Gorrunk spoke loudly in goblin to his subordinates, and the two wounded goblins in the back of the room scurries to the chest, and start to pick Chenna's belongings.
Gorrunk spoke in goblin again, and the goblin holding the children hostage throws her to the ground, then moves to the wall and unlocks the cages while screaming at the prisoners. The four human prisoner hurriedly leaves the cage and picks the small children who starts to cry. As the four of them passed Chenna they said many thanks to Chenna for bargaining their release. One human prisoner, a man who wear clothes commonly worn below armor, is left behind in the cage not moving.
Chenna will go into the cage, lift up the man and carry him away if allowed. Once out of sight, while walking, he will use the magic of Healing Hands and try to give him 1 point of health.
Ooc: Cheena you beautiful bastard, wonderfully done.
As the murmers from inside the gave start to get louder followed by crying. Aeros becomes worried, only to be slightly confused as the sight of the prisoners commencing their Egress.
"Well, something happened in there. Detective, seems we have some freed hostages, are these the people that you were searching for?"
Aeros will also exit the cave to check on short foot and sharp tooth. Planning on fuffilling his promise to them if they remained. But if they left he will shout a wish for good travels into the swampy air.
Handy quickly jumps to give the Tanicum family a round of hugs. "It is good to see that you are still alive. The City Elders were worried that there would be nothing left." Looking at Chenna "We apparently owe you a great debt. I realize we still have much work to do but you have saved the day for now. Please accept my thanks. These are personal friends and have always treated my family with kindness. It is a great blessing to have them safe again." He considers their current situation and sees to man Chenna is carrying and adds "If we can say that we are safe, we still need to get these people home. Is he alive?"

As the prisoners starts pouring out from the hole, Waft offers the cooked wolf meat.
"Get your first meal after getting released for a meager price of 1 silver piece. Freshly made from the wolf directly supplied by your goblin capturers.
If you want to taste revenge, here's your chance. If you don't have money, don't worry, for bartering is also an option. So come and buy while supplies last."
Chenna left the goblins' chamber. As the light of healing touches the man, he moves a little. he seemed to be only unconscious, but in not a condition to talk yet.
Cave Entrance
The Tanicum family hugs Handy back, the oldest among them speaks to him:
"Thank you young Handy, I know you will come to our aid, you went through the hassle of gathering those dependable adventurers too. We are too in your debt"
A bearded man, another member of the family approaches Waft while they prepare to get out of the cave.
"Young man, please if you have any food, spare some to little Gisella here. She's badly wounded, haven't eaten anything since we are captured this morning, and Phlan is still half day journey without our wagon. The goblins took all our coins, but we'll see what we can give you back into town"
Outside the Cave
Aeros get out of the cave by himself and went where the two goblin scouts were ties, but both of them were gone, leaving only cut rope on the ground. Aeros wish them a safe journey.
As the sky gets darker and Phlan is still half a day journey away, how you'd like to proceed?
Handy is grateful for the work done by Chenna and the others in bargaining for the rescue. He is inclined to help the villagers get back safely to Phlan. "My good adventurers, I would like to understand your plans. Your help here has been work of the highest order and I feel a kinship with you in your efforts. I also want to escort these good people back to Phlan so they are not endangered again in the terrible country. What is your plan?"
Handy grabs a few coppers from his satchel and hands it to Waft, "How much of that meat will you give me for this?", handing it to Waft. "I could use a little to help me on my way. So you think staying here is better for the night? I guess the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know eh? Sounds good." Handy make a quick look around the cave to search for a place to get comfortable. "Of course we will need to take turns at guard duty."
The bearded man thanked Waft for his kindness and hurries to the little girl called Gisella. She takes a little bite but spit it right after and cries. The bearded man calmed her, and she finally stopped crying and take more bites.

"Any minute now Chenna would come out from that hole. Meanwhile, I'll cook this roasted wolf meat edible."
Seeing a blur from the corner of his vision, the genasi asks one of his comrades.
"Hey guys, did the smoke made me hallucinate or did someone just ran past us?"
Ooc: i think its supposed to be ran into us, not past us. We are in the cave too. Just not very far in.
Aeros gets up and holds his shield facing the figure. "Hello? Are you ok and why are you running/hiding?"
OOC: Is this supposed to be me, have I made it to the cave?
Lot's of stuff ...

"Oh hell, the meat is burnt."
The genasi quickly stomps on the burning tinder to put the fire out of the campfire and tries to salvage the remaining edible wolf meat.

"I take your silence as contemplation. You drive a hard bargain. How about 3 gold and 5 silver for each?"
===DM===
Gorrunk scratches his chin for awhile.
"Well, well, not many human like you or that elf dares to ask us for business" As he spoke in common.
"...as we busy here...drop all treasures on the floor, then you carry those people out yourself"
"Also tell your humankin, we will shoot everyone who dares to step close...no more prisoner...." He points his warhammer to Chenna.
== CHENNA ==
.. will drop a chest that contains the following items: holy water (flask), hammer, mess kit, mirror, steel, oil (flask), manacles. Place his last two javelins on top of it and a pouch with 30 gold.
"OK"
To the whole room, "WE WELL BE WALKING OUT OF HERE VERY SOON. STAY CALM AND FOLLOW THE TUNNEL OUT OF HERE."

"Well, I guess one died" Says Gorrunk in common.
"Our business good armored man?"

"I will take the corpse then. Business good."
Chenna will go into the cage, lift up the man and carry him away if allowed. Once out of sight, while walking, he will use the magic of Healing Hands and try to give him 1 point of health.

Lot's of stuff ...
"I'll hold you to your word old man."
Waft cuts an ample amount of cooked meat and hands it to the litte girl before he resumes looking for potential customers.
He then talks to the rest of his team for what plan they should take.
"Finding another shelter during this time would be difficult, especially while we have released captives in our tow.
Our safe bet tonight would be inside this cave. We'll have to sleep near the goblins but that would be better than outside."
===HANDY===
Handy grabs a few coppers from his satchel and hands it to Waft, "How much of that meat will you give me for this?", handing it to Waft. "I could use a little to help me on my way.
