"Yes, a plan. But what can we do as long as he keeps an hostage? The goblin has the upper hand in this situation, we are sadly but pawns in his game" the tiefling says calmly.

Kylar looks over at whisper with a curious look.

"Whisper your good at sneaking about, yes? What if we return and if he asks we'll say you died in the conflict, when in reality you could sneak behind him and rescue the hostage should things go poorly. You think we could manage it?

SAKARIA

"I was thinking exactly the same thing, Kylar. Wonderful idea, although very hard to execute".

Whisper regards his companions without emotion. "I will do what must be done." 

Harry nods, "Sounds like a plan to me. Shall we?"

"After you." Whisper smiles grimly, indicating the exit.

 While checking the room you notice nothing more but a howl coming from the hol ethe wolf fled in.

sneaking into the room would be really hard, the goblins are on their guard and is well lit.
With a distraction it could be done however.

Harry just shrugs and starts to make his way back to where that goblin was last seen.

"I said we'd cut that goblin loose on the way back... but do we want to risk being stabbed in the back on our way to the entrance?"

Kylar looks between the group, slightly worried.

"We'll keep our word." Whisper says. " Just ensure that he will not cause any trouble. "

Harry stops walking to turn to the group, "We could use the goblin for a prisoner exchange."

Whisper offers a half-smile. "If I know anything about goblinoids, it is that they have no conception of loyalty."

SAKARIA

"Whisper's right" says the tiefling, "I highly doubt such horrid creature would care for the lives of his companions. He has the upper hand, and I doubt we can really do anything to change the situation".

 As you make your way back to the cave you spot a goblin just outside the cave. He doesn't seem to have noticed you yet

Kylar draws his crossbow and kneels down to take aim.

Whispering,

"Should we just take it out?"

"Murdering this guard might give our goblin ally the wrong impression. I suggest we abstain from violence until absolutely necessary." Whisper replies.

"Let us just show it the bugbear's severed head. The longer we take the more risk it puts the person we are rescuing in." Harry suggests.

"Agreed." Whisper murmurs, stepping into view. "We have slain the bugbear." He says to the goblin in undercommon. "Return our friend to us."

Kylar walks next to Whisper, Sword drawn with a serious look on his face.

Harry stands behind Kylar and Whisper with his hand raised up to his face, with his hand on fire, "We won't ask a second time."
