Nif adds the coins and meat to the collection that Vondal has found. He then turns to the group, showing them the rings, "What do we want to do about these?"
Karl and Einar, you may now approach the unknown humanoid if you wish.
And I'm making a change to a previous post. Along with the silver ring with the crown over the red gem, the other ring, instead of being a simple gold band, is another signet ring.
Einar catiously moves over to the unconcious figure up on the ledge, trying to get a good look at it before getting too close.

Einar sees a youngish human man with fair skin wearing fine clothes. His hair is covered by a hood, and his eyes are shut. He seems to be uninjured, but tied up and sleeping.

Vondal had been tugging at his beard for sometime over Nif's question. But in hearing Einar's call, he says, "What? You sure! Shit, uh, uhm -- Be up there in a second!" He turns back to Nif and motions for the Duergar to pocket the rings for now. "For now."He says, emphasizing with a meaningful look, and then dashing up stairs with a Healer's Kit in tow.
"Hold the fort down there Karl! Just in case Klarg returns!"He calls back along the way. Seeing Einar already start shaking the man awake, Vondal clicks his tongue. "Gentler Brother! Now ever one is as thick skinned as you." He says, giving a small but mirthful smile in passing as he looks over the human. "Now what do we have here? *squints* …. Another human? That man's son perhaps?"

Seeing the new human stand up, Nif says to the group in dwarvish, "I already don't like him. He's too tall, tall people aren't trustworthy. You know what happened to us at the factory." He then gives the newcomer one more calculated look before turning away.
Karl says in Dwarvish to Nif “hang-on a minute there young’un, I’m fairly tall too, but I get what you mean.” He continues in Dwarvish to both Vondal, and Nif and also loud enough for Eilat to hear “we got burnt badly by trusting a non-dwarf and this codger did even say thank you - can’t say I’m surprised. Let the bugger go!” Karl turns back to Nif and continuing to speak in Dwarvish “right, let’s go check out those bags and chests in the other room.” Karl then turns and starts heading back to th3 room where they battled Klarg.
Nif will follow Karl, but on the way he will go to the dead yellow goblin and collect the crosbow, any crossbow bolts the goblin has and anything else of interest on the body.
"Oh, so I shouldn't be trusted just because I am tall? What does that have to do with it? Perhaps you are the ones who are not to be trusted, you all seem like a group of ugly degenerates to me! ¡Qrafe ao oaadu!"

They've been talking in dwarvish this whole time. Only Vondal has/is speaking in common at the moment. Though you'd note the dirty look he shot the other Nif and Karl spoke to each other.
Vondal is looking over the new guy closely had shot Nif a dirty look, and did a half-hearted one to Karl. But with little more than a huff, he turns back to finish examining human. Though by then, the you man had begun to march off. "Wha-Now you hold on there, human. I'd have words with you before you go running off now." He calls out after him, and hustles after him to at least the entry to side cavern if need be.
"I am Vondal of the Stormfist Clan. And those other three? They are my brothers... of a sort."He grins weakly. "Now we -- I'm not expecting thanks. But your a ways off from any known towns as far as I'm aware. And it was already getting close to dark outside when we got here. So, I propose you stick around. At least for a bit, and.. come with us to Phandelin. After we can part ways. But I rather not we hadn't risked our skins only for you to go off and die."There's a mini-pause when Vondal says the last word, as well as pained grimace.
"Course you'll have to pull your weight while with us, but... it beats alternatives, da? So if you would kind, son, it would be most 'preciated. Okay?"He asks, and after receiving an answer, bustles his way over to the old man. Even though his injuries made the effort painful and slow, Vondal was willing to bear through it if none decided to take care of things.
"So be it. Though I shall keep an eye on your... brothers. Though you seem to be the reputable type, I doubt that they can be trusted."
The man heads over to the corpse of the goblin boss and kneels, then looks at its hands as if trying to find something. He scowls and looks up at the dwarves
"This goblin was wearing my signet ring when I was captured. Which one of you little kiwzirvu took it?"

Those up on the escarpment notice a pile of equipment: backpack, bedroll, mess kit, hempen rope, and waterskin.
Nif, the (yellow) goblin had 9 crossbow bolts, 1 piece of dried meat, and 1 cp.
Zander, you need to read carefully. The conversations were clearly designated as being spoke in dwarvish, which you do not know. As this seems to have helped keep the group together (you prompting Vondal to respond), I'm not going to undo the mistake, but be more careful in the future.
If any of the brothers hadn't moved on and caught wind of the tone, Vondal is quick to intercept them with a raised arm. If need be, though he stood no chance of stopping either, he'd stand up to Einar and Karl with every intention of physically trying to hold them back. "I'm only going to warn you this one time, friend. Watch your tongue. For this is no time for loose wagging." He warns, glaring at the man now.
"I understand that you have had rough go at it. So being pleasant is not priority for you. But keep. Things. Civil. We are in no mood for rudeness, having lost one of our own recently dealing with these mongrels." He pauses to let his words sink in a moment before letting out a sigh. "You will have your signet ring back. Have not a worry there, youngingly. But keep your snide comments to yourself. Because wronged or not, this is no time for that, or flippant rudeness." At that, if Nif is still within eye shot, he gives the Duergar a look before turning back to the young man.
"Now if you would please help me with this older youngingly to otherside of cave. You can pick up your ring on way or after. Once we have finished our business here, we will head back to path, and on to Phandalen."

The young man blinks his eyes open and sits up.
"What do you want now, degenerate?"
He then realizes that he is being untied and looks around.
"Huh? You aren't Yeemik. Oh, are you freeing me? Good, this had gotten to be quite boring."
He stands up, and stretches, then rubs his wrists. He begins to head out of the cave, not even giving a thank you.
