Alright. Do you need anyone else to help you convince them?
To the other goblins
I would like the rest of you to gather over there by the west door while we take care of this. Once this is all over, I hope we never see each other again.
Rees and Shake, would you please wait with them?

"Hello All-ten... Mees Greq.. Master Trinketer... No needs anyones else... Can convince on own... they listen to mees..."
Watching the happenings between his companions and the goblins Shake pulls out his pipes and quietly starts composing a song in dwarfish,
"Oh, Greqy Junge, die Läden, die Läden rufen an Von Tal zu Tal und bergab. Der Boss ist weg und alle Kochfelder fallen, Du bist es, du musst gehen und ich muss kämpfen.Aber komm zurück, wenn der Sommer auf der Wiese ist. Oder wenn das Tal still und weiß vor Schnee ist, Ich bin hier im Sonnenschein oder im Schatten. Oh, Greqy Junge, oh Greqy Junge, ich liebe dich so!"
"Oh, Greqy boy, the shops, the shops are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The Boss is gone, and all the hobs falling, It's you, it's you must go and I must fight. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Greqy boy, oh Greqy boy, I love you so!"
@SdclaybrookWort exits and nods to you ignoring your comments on leadership and addressing your question about the druid, "Boss need staff... is powerful... take staff away from hims... he still has magic trickz, but nots as good.. can beat without staff, yes."
Eight other goblins follow Wort out of the doorway and head towards the workshops glaring at Meepo who dances for a moment at Shake's tune, then realizing there's a lot more goblins immediately stops, sticks his tongue out and wags it at them.
Meepo, don't taunt the people who we don't want to fight.
After the Goblins head out, Rees and Shake come back towards the rest of the group. As Shake comes by I lay my hand on his shoulder, stopping him.
Thank you for your help Shake. He smiles at Shake.
Just one small problem. We don't know each other well, so I want to give you a little advice. He leans down to keep it private, the smile drops and his voice lowers. Don't speak for me like that again and never use me to threaten non-combatant family members. I follow a god of war, but there are rules in war. You do that again and we'll have our own little private war.
I straighten up, step back, return the smile to my face. I turn around and head to the door.
Everybody ready to go? Anybody need to do anything before moving out? Let's go.

After Alten whispers his warning to Shake, Shake makes an extravagant bow and says, "Thank you brave leader for your guidance. I promise you that from here on out I will never put our safety or the success of our mission above the high ideals of you and your most powerful and violent deity of war. Please accept my humble apology for the transgression." While Shake sounds sincere, there is a twinkle of bemusement in his eyes.

Meepo's shoulders droop, "Sooorryyy Alteen.." when you turn to address Shake, he sticks his tongue out at you as well.

Alright Greq. Let's get to work.
I'll untie Greq and walk him to the door.
I'll nod to the others to start working on moving the rest over.

Shake agrees to guard the rest of the goblins in the corner.

"Hammer? Wees has lots of hammers in workshop. Why yoos ask?"
Greq rubs his wrists nervously as he approaches the door, ""Ay... itz Greq... what whoos on otherside?"
You hear multiple voices bickering then, "Shhhh... sushhh... SHUT IT!..."
"Greq... iz Wort... Big Wort.. notz Little Wort... What yoo doin workin with humies?"
Greq replies, "No, just not opportunity not to work with Boss. Wee be free of him if humies kill... agree?"
A long pause ensues and you assume Wort is thinking over Greq's statement...
"No boss... then no Hobs... Wort be new boss? Shaman dead... noone else..."
Greq sighs, "If you opens door... don't fight... let humies through... they promise let go... Wort lead us out through passage.."
Another long pause ensues...
"Wort lead after too! Want lead tribe for good."
Greq cracks his neck, "Fine, fine. But, mes still run shops. Yoo stays out of it."
"Hah! Fine! No want stoopid shop anyway."
Another long pause...
You hear a scraping sound like something heavy being dragged away from behind the door and the door unlocking...
It opens and reveals Big Wart standing in the doorway...
Err, hello Wort. If you and your people will head over that way, you can head out and we'll go take care of your old boss.
Good luck if you want to be the leader of the tribe. Personally, I'm not sure whether leadership is worth it, but if it's what you want. . .

By the way, is there anything you can tell me about your boss that might help me take care of him without getting any of my associates killed?
