Vesper brings her dagger closer to the goblin. "I don't speak your language, so you're going to need to explain what booguyeah shagaka and bee ba wikwuz is, as well as translate that last sentence for us."

Krackle would stand back and listen to the goblin... holding is tail and taking in her answers. Once everyone was finished asking questions, Krackle would pipe up from behind Chrys. "So... did you attack anyone on the road? Did you... kill anyone?" The kobold would ask while trying to determine if she is lying.
The goblin responds with a quizzical look. She’s clearly struggling to be understood, and it would appear that she doesn’t speak common very well. She tries to clarify with a mix of broken words and hand signals, and you guess that she’s doing her best to comply, even though she’s in great pain from the fire bolt.
”Magic scary... like... dark. Scary statues a’ monsters. Goblins no go in magic rooms.”
“Pox watches all of day. Not go gadderin’ wif odder goblins... stays here. Pox nots kills mens and elves. No ‘ttacker. Scared of bigs mens.”
“Some goblins leeve. Some no comy back to home.”
”Pox aks why for comy here? Hunt big boss? Hab food...Pox hungry... and fire hurt mis body.”
Krackle would pull out his bag and dig out a couple rations. "Here.. You need to go" the kobold would say in a whisper to the goblin as he told out the rations. "I think we should let her go... " He would add as he gives a pleading look to his companions "She isn't like the other ones.. she is like me." He would say with a smile.

As Lumen listens to Pox, his visage changes. It seems they kept meeting monsters that didn’t act like monsters, and after years of being treated poorly because of the way he looked, he knew the feeling.
Insight check to see if he thinks she is hiding something: 6
"I'm willing to let her go, provided she agrees to live in peace the rest of her days; she may have just been the lookout, but she was still acting to aid a band of marauders," Kess chimed in, her eyes still not leaving the goblin. "Otherwise, I could always ask my kin in the Moonwood to lend a hand to the free folk here, if you all follow my meaning. So... do you agree to live peacefully, little one...?"
Vesper waits to see how the goblin reacts to the groups intention of clearing out this cave before she lowers her dagger and tells Chrys to let the creature go.

Lumen suggests that they could restrain her for a bit while they investigate the cave, with the promise they will let her go once they are done. He also asks if she knows of other goblins who agree with her about the new boss.
Pox gladly accepts Krackle’s gift of a few bits of food and she woofs down a few morsels, before taking hold of his arm with a weak, but desperate grasp. As you look at her more closely, you can see that’s she’s rather malnourished and bears a few bruises on her arms bare arms. She accepts Lumen’s help to stand up, and then responds with a fearful voice.
”Pox wan live. Be peace. No be battle. Scared o’ big boss... scared be ‘lone in forest. Where Pox go be safe stay ‘way from big mens?”
She seems to less concerned with your intention here than how she will survive by herself outside the relative safety of this underground home and her tribe, as scary and disparaging as her current situation may be.
"Go outside and look for a gnome. she is nice, tell her that Krackle says hello!" The kobold would say with a smile. "Once we are done in here, we were going find her and head home. Maybe you can come too!" He would add with a smile.
Chrys lets the goblin go so that it can go do what Krackle suggested. Vesper puts her dagger away, although she isn't really sure how much help they can actually provide in terms of giving the goblin a new home.

"More goblins in other rooms that way. And scary magic... me no like."
"Boss not big like bugbear. Me smaller than boss, but you bigger. Taller. Boss more fat," she says, looking at Kess and Vesper.
"What kind of magic? Like a trap?"

Lumen will wait until she answers and then ask why they have been attacking people on the road more.
Then he will ask if there are goblins outside the cave right now or if everyone is inside.
(Rapid fire questioning!!)
”Magic like... booguyeah shagaka.”
”Gadder on road big boss say... Pox ony follow orders. Need eat. No no odder goblin otside, Pox watches bee ba wikwuz.”
”Buk buk eemana wabba yookoo?”

He leans down to help the goblin up.

“Will Ellywick know that this goblin is a nice goblin? Perhaps someone should go out and make an introduction?”
"I think that Ellywick knows that Krackle wouldn't befriend an evil creature, so if it goes out and says what Krackle told it to, it should be fine."
