Ordrin approaches and quickly looks over Sildar. He tsk's softly to himself as he sees the human's condition.

"Good catch, my large friend," he says to Leoneiros. "He'd a been a sad sight if he hit the floor. I can help him but I have no strength left to call Moradin. Can we rest?"

Sildar is weak, but stable. A fall.from the ledge would likely have killed him.

"North", He croaks. "I heard them talk about north"

 "Dwarf, we don't have enough time to rest, but here, you can have this." Leoneiros hands Ordrin a cupcake, seemingly ordinary at first. "Anton already had one of those, along with their other friends who have left... This one was supposed to be mine, but I'm still feeling well-rested to keep on going."

After a second he notices he's not being clear enough, so he continues. "Oh, the pastry is magical, it makes you instantly feel the rest you needed for a whole night, I bet you need it more than I do."

To Sildar he nods, and says, while looking to the path they're going to be taking. "Thank you, we'd probably be lost for a while if we had help from no one."

"Our new, bleeding friend does not look up for castle hunting.  We should take him to Phandelin, that is where you were heading, yes?"

Rin will take a few moments to search the goblins' quarters for anything interesting.  Investigation: 9

He shakes his head in response to Rin. "We can't leave just now, this is not the dwarf they were looking for, the name we're looking for is Gundren, and while I don't know this one's name, I know he's not a dwarf." Pointing to Sildar, whose name he's still waiting to receive from someone.

"It's great to save this one as well, but Gundren is still somewhere around here, we need to take him to Phandelin as well."

Eyes wide, Ordrin reaches way way up on his tippy toes and takes the cupcake from Leoneiros' outstretched hand.

"Ho ho!" smacking his lips as he studies the gift excitedly. "I love me sweets. You, giant lion, are more a gentleman than most dwarves I've met."

With that, Ordrin shoves the entire cupcake in his mouth and swallows it almost without chewing, the only souvenir of the gift a few crumbs nestled in his beard hair.

OoC: what is the mechanic for the cupcake? A long rest?

OoC: Yeah, it's a long rest cupcake.

Ordrin finishes scouring his mouth of delicious cupcake, extends his arms, knits his fingers and bends them backwards, then shakes out his hands.

"Allllll rrright," he declares, trilling his R's. "All right, my sad friend," leaning over Sildar, "now tell me your story."

Ordrin places his hands on the man's chest and growls under his breath a plea for Moradin's mercy.

The goblin den contains various, gross, goblin miscellany. A bag containing 30gp and 100 cp is the only thing of note.

Sildar looks to Rin: "I recognize these 2 from Gundren's descriptions (nodding to Anton and Delta) but I have not the rest of you.  I am Sildar Hallwinter, warrior and friend/escort of Gundren Rockseeker. I am headed to Phandalin and would offer you 50gp to escort me there, for as you can see i'll never make it there alone. I was supposed to meet Iarno a tenday ago."

"The goblins waylaid Gundren and I on the Triboar trail. We were on our way to investigate an incredible find of Gundren's.  He and his brothers, Nundro and Tharden had found a map to Wave Echo Cave, something thought lost forever.  The goblins knew somehow. I over heard them say that Klarg had been ordered by the Black Spider to kidnap Gundren and and send him and his map to Cragmaw Castle."

"I apologize if all this is overwhelming.  It is hard to think straight in this injured state. Thank you for the healing my dwarven friend. I will try to answer any questions you may have"

 History is perfect :) Asking Sildar would have worked too.

More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver's Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge (called the Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin (pronounced fan-duh-lin) prospered as well. But then disaster struck when ores swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path. A powerful force of ores reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize its riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost.

OoC: Bookkeeping, 6gp and 20 cp each

Anton, looking a little bit overloaded between the intense confrontation and the flood of new information, says, "Cragmaw Castle, Wave Echo Cave... but first things first. I think we've found everything there is to find in this cavern, so I say we head to Phandelin and make sure Mr. Hallwinter is safe, perhaps get a night's rest and restock our provisions, and then set out to try to find this castle and Gundren."

"Aye, but we musn't dally." Ordrin grabs his gear, ready to set out. "Gundren is in a pinch and his clock is ticking. I need to have some words with him."

OoC: Would Ordrin have read of these dwarves before? History: 22, if needed.

Rin extends a hand towards Sildar, "Hello Sildar, I am Rin.  By Lliira's good fortune I came upon these good people and was able to help them rescue you.  Before we go, I do have one question.  Do you know this sigil?" 

Rin describes the sigil printed on the supply boxes in Klarg's room.

 You have probably heard of their name in passing related to their many business ventures in the Sword Coast

Rin describes the sigil printed on the supply boxes in Klarg's room.

 Sildar looks at the sigil. "Ah yes, actually. That looks like the logo for the Lionshield Coster in Phandalin. Where did you find it?"

Rin gestures back the way we came saying, "There is a whole stash of crates and supplies with this sigil on it in a chamber on the other side of the cave.  The bugbear was hoarding it, but my friend Anton showed him the way of the flail, and he hoards no longer."

"I'm sure the Coster would reward their return, or at least the knowledge of their location. Can you help me up so we might return me to Phandalin?"

"Of course!" Rin says, eager to help.  He tries to help lift Sildar and struggles (strength 8, lol), "Happy to help" he groans.

"C'mon, laddie," Ordrin says, putting Sildar's hand on his shoulder. "I'm just about the right height to be a warm, hairy cane for ya."

"Alright, what do you say we get out of this cave and head to Phandelin? The stench of goblin is getting to me," Anton says as Sildar gets to his feet.
