To Talien, before going into the area where the prisoners are held
Do you know the 'good guard, bad guard' routine to interrogate prisoners?
Before I left my realm I was taught how to get infomation I need on one of your kinds if we captured one with knowledge.Talien says this flatly while pulling out his dagger. I start cutting off finger nails and toe nails then start to remove fingers and toes one at a time, with the smallest pieces possible once you start cutting into the body.(does someone speak goblin or do they speak common?)
Someone from the party will have to speak to them to find out if they speak common.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Once Talien and Alten (I presume it is just the two of us entering) Talien will address the 4 prisoners and say, If you tell me what I need to know, things will not have to get messy. If I have to clean up four fluids from myself, then I will make sure it is worth the time and effort I will have to spend on it. Talien says all of this while unsheathing his dagger slowly and his eyes slowly starting to turn red.
(Rolling intimidation with advantage due to Alten being there as well as they should have never encountered the likes of me) 19
Ask your question before pulling out the blades Cutter. Give them a fair chance to answer. I really don't want to see Goblin entrails today if I don't have to.

Remember, these aren't our prisoners to do with as we will. We're not mutilating at this point, just threatening.

With Rees watching your back you remove your spellbook from your pack, an owl feather and a small pearl from your component pouch, and being chanting the words required to cast the identify spell. A few minutes pass and nothing comes to you yet. A bead of sweat rolls down your forehead as you double down on your efforts focusing your magic on the stone token. Another two minutes pass by. You start to feel your understanding of the object begin to grow. Each minute thereafter you feel slightly more connected to the object until the ritual finally ends and you learn that the stone token...

Next, you open the lid of the flask and look inside. You see a red liquid sloshing around inside. There are lots of little bubbles inside. You sniff at the flash and the sent of candied cherries washes over you.

Whoop, nice roll.
Two of the goblin prisoners begin crying. The other two begin gibbering at the same time making it confusing to understand what they are saying as they talk over each other.
Goblin 1: “Ekk.. Ekk.. no kill us shiny man! We speaks your tongue! We talk. We talk.”
Goblin 2: “Ehhhhk.. ekkk... free us. No kill! No kill! Lizards bad! Lizards mean! Goblins good!”
Goblin 1: “We take you to boss! Free us! Make deal with boss!”
Goblin 2: “Yeah! Yeah! We make deal! Bring you to boss!”
The crying of the other two goblins grows louder.
Goblin 1: “Shut up idiots! We makin’ deal here!”
Goblin 2: “Yeah Shut up! Crying no help!”
The two crying goblins who don’t appear to speak common being crying louder...
Goblin 1: “Shut up! Shut up or we get killed by shiny man and eaten by stupid lizards!”
Goblin 2: “No taste good! Hahaha! We spoilt meat!”
Goblin 1: “Lizards don’t care! They already eat Slork! He was dirty goblin! Hehehe.”
One of the crying goblins stops and pipes up in goblin...
Goblin 2 (thumbing at the goblin that piped up): “Oh. He said he Slork. Who gots eaten then?”
Goblin 1: “Eh? He Slork? Me don’t know then... maybe Dus? Why Lizard eat Dus? He had bad skin rash that look rotten.”
Both goblins finally stop talking and look at each other then erupt in laughter.

DM Note: Do you take a sip?
Grom pauses for a moment, and takes in the smell of delicious cherries and then corks it back up and puts it in his pack. He will take the token give it a flick with his thumb into the air and catch it and put it in his pocket.

Talien knocks the second goblin out so he cant hear any of the answers his friend gives.
Talien moves closer to the first goblin, eyes red and says quietly. I have some things I am looking for. He sticks the blade under the first fingernail but does not press yet. Tell me willingly for this will get messy fast. I am looking for three things. If the goblin does not cooperate Talien starts removing finger nails from this goblin, once this goblin gives all the information he knows, I move to the next one and wake him up with a splash of water from my water skin. Talien will continue until he receives an answer from each goblin.
One is a fruit you sell every year in Oakhurst in the summer time, not the poison fruit either.
There was also a hammer stolen by the goblins that belonged to the blacksmith.
There is 2 humans from the city that came down here recently as well.
Talien will look over to Alten to see if there is any more information he missed or Alten wants before waking the second goblin as well.
Ok. Looks like they can understand us. Ask your questions.
Then he steps in front of Talien with his back to the Goblins and says in a low voice so hopefully only he can hear.
Remember, not our prisoners. No promises or deals.
Then he steps out of the way and makes a 'go ahead' motion.
Talien replies quietly back, I understand your kind feel pain and do not like it. I will use this to my advantage. The only promise I will make is for the pain at my hand to end.

DM Note: First... How do you knock the goblin out? Is it an unarmed strike, are you using iron fists, or a weapon?
You draw back your large metal fist and deliver a hard blow to the goblins temple intending to only knock him unconscious, but the goblin hits the ground with a hard “Thump!” Blood begins to trickle out of his ear and pools around his head on the dirty ground. The first goblin immediately stops laughing as his eyes grow wide in shock. He pleads with you, “P-p-please. Don’t kills me too! Don’t do it shiny man! Me help you! Me bring you to boss!”
The two kobold guards see this happen and draw their daggers. They rush you immediately and in common yell, “Halt! Halt!” The southern guard turns to Meepo and in a harsh language yells, “Meepo! Vakka Yusdrayl! Vakka Yusdrayl!” But, Meepo just stands there shocked not knowing what to do.

While the others go inside to interrogate the prisoners, Rees will stay with Grom and just stand guard so he can do his thing in peace.

Do the goblins appear to understand Common when we talk to them? Does anyone in the party actually speak Goblin?

Alten goes over to check on the Goblin. Is he dead or alive? Also, are they chained, manacled, or shackled in any way?
{Talien did specify he intended to knock it out}
Also, did Arxius come in the cell or is she out with Grom and Rees?
