Trin will check out the exit from the auction hall, bit won't go far from the group. If it just looks to go on for some distance, he'll turn back. If there's something else there, he'll check that out.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"A journey if a thousand miles..." Trin thinks aloud, promoted by the pleas of the captive goblin. "That all sounds well and good, but let me ask you, what did your fellow goblins pinch you for?"
Stigr will notice a few of his companions have gone missing and send his imp to go check on them. In the meantime, he'll try and talk more with the guard goblin, "So, how long has your market been here? Ever been deeper down? Any advice on a good way to get down there?" (Spaced out the questions to allow for responses)
"Me took food meant for big boss." Glom says with a shrug. "Glom no eat in..." They hol dup one finger, then two, then three, then put down one finger, but put up another. Finally they just stare at the fingers for a long moment. "No eat in long time." Glom finally says.
"Market only here..." The goblin guard frowns, clearly trying to figure out time is not an easy thing for him. he eventually shrugs. "Been here some time."
"Get further down?" The goblin asks, looking around. "Blig hear passage north leads further down, but need go way along to find stairs. Blig never been there self."
Please indicate what you are doing. If I hear nothing by tomorrow morning, CST, I will move this along to the next thing.
For your information, there is one more door, from the Market area, that has not been explored. It is the door Stigr's imp was talking to the guard at first, then where Stigr himself spoke to the same guard just now. Those guards will not simply let you stroll past though, just as an FYI.
Maximus is intrigued about the possibility of learning information from Glom, but he is a thief and a goblin and they typically can not be trusted. He will not go out of his way to save the goblin.
(Assuming Stigr's imp heard the other goblin calling itself Glom) Stigr will send his imp over to Maximus and the others and speak through it in his voice, "This one may know a way to go further down as well as have experience with the lower levels, do we want him? If so, I can probably distract the others for a few minutes."
He'll then turn to the door the guard is watching, "Are there more shops through here?"
Trin will wait for the others to leave before he just unchains Checkov's goblin. (Using knock, if necessary. it's loud, but Trin isn't sticking around to be found by anyone drawn by the noise.)
Stigr would not know of Glom, as he has no way to hear what goes on in the other room. No imp sent.
Trin, waving the others away, frees the goblin with a casting of a spell. he feels fairly certain the spell is unnoticed, as the hammering from the room outside this cell area is still loud enough to cover most anything under an elephant stampede.

Stigr will cast invisibility on the goblin through his imp and have his imp stay on its shoulder to help guide it out of the market where the others can interrogate it more easily, whispering in its ear, “Behave yourself and help us, or you will wish we left you there to die.”
Shadowlight perception 8
Yep too many goblins for Shadowlight to notice anything else.

Gibbets and Gravy
Four iron gibbets hang from chains hooked to the 10-foot-high ceiling. The gibbets are empty except for one that holds a wailing goblin named Glom.
"You help Glom!" The goblin cries out at the sight of Trin. "Glom know lots and lots... Stairs down... Magical headband... Lots and lots..."
"A journey if a thousand miles..." Trin thinks aloud, promoted by the pleas of the captive goblin. "That all sounds well and good, but let me ask you, what did your fellow goblins pinch you for?"
Insight for his response: 22
Hearing about directions coming from the goblin, Maximus will join Trin to listen in.

The goblin looks over the group around them.
"Me took food meant for big boss." Glom says with a shrug. "Glom no eat in..." They hol dup one finger, then two, then three, then put down one finger, but put up another. Finally they just stare at the fingers for a long moment. "No eat in long time." Glom finally says.
Trin would feel the goblin is being truthful.
Stigr...
"Market only here..." The goblin guard frowns, clearly trying to figure out time is not an easy thing for him. he eventually shrugs. "Been here some time."
"Get further down?" The goblin asks, looking around. "Blig hear passage north leads further down, but need go way along to find stairs. Blig never been there self."
Stigr nods his thanks to the goblin, "Do you know of anyone who has gone further down?"
"Glom big liar." Blig says with a snort. "Glom says went down stairs... Blig no believe Glom though."
What are those with the goblin in chains doing?
Anyone else doing anything further here?

Rurik Shakes his head at the goblin. “I ain’t buying what you’re saying. Jus tryin’ to save yer skin.”
Trin will wait for the others to leave before he just unchains Checkov's goblin. (Using knock, if necessary. it's loud, but Trin isn't sticking around to be found by anyone drawn by the noise.)
"Get ready to run." He says to him.
Stigr would not know of Glom, as he has no way to hear what goes on in the other room. No imp sent.

(First part.)
Ah, then yes you do know about Glom. Sorry I forgot about that post. The imp would be there when Trin releases the goblin with a spell then, unseen.
(Np, easy to miss one line in all of this.)
