!!Lost Mine of Phandelver Campaign Thread!!

Whistler, blinded with rage, fumbled around on his waist to find his trusty firewater. He takes a swig and the world becomes the same old numbness to him, his rage ends.

Cronan nods and steps toward one of the barrels, curious as to what's inside. He stops as he hears Rosie's words. "Yes, let us find the hostages."

Umbriel manages to separate the Bugbear's head from it's body.  

Whistler takes solace in his firewater.

Kume watches Umbriel work with a slightly traumatised expression on his face, " Yes...uh...lets exchange this for the hostages...."

Omen

Omen is not a fan of the grisly work but maintains his composure.

"Yes, our objective was to save Baeshra's companions and I think our responsibility is try and save them as well."

Umbriel stands, gore dripping from his arms below the elbow, the late Klarg's head clutched firmly in his left hand, spear in his right. "You say the other goblins will parley if we present this? Do you think they'll let us walk out of here not only with any surviving captives, but also with the goods that have been stolen? It may be to our advantage for some of us to negotiate the release while others recover the missing cargo, just in case they aren't feeling hospitable."

Omen

"Too right." Omen exclaims and he turns to take a look at the chests, and their contents.

:)

Baeshra will chuckle slightly, "I learned on my previous trip in here, that splitting up isn't a good idea. As far as whether we can trust them to negotiate in honesty, do you trust a goblin? I think our best bet is to use this to prove we defeated him and could defeat them too if they don't surrender and/or flee immediately. Then we can recover the supplies. If they don't agree, we'll need to kill them quickly which would be much easier with all of us there. It would also help intimidate them I think."

"That's fair. Let's go negotiate, then."

Omen begins to look over the sacks and crates and confirms that the blue lion symbol matches the crest of the Lionshield Coster.  He spies a chest that doesn't have the symbol and appears to be unlocked.  Just before he can open it, the rest of the party agrees to go find the prisoners, putting a hand on Omen's shoulder and beckoning him to follow.

Alright, Umbriel's got the head of Klarg.  What's the marching order on the way across the bridge and up the other tunnel?

Kume will lead, he's feeling he wants to get all this over with..

Umbriel falls in line behind Kume, ready to present the head as soon as he sees a goblin.

Omen
Omen falls in line deep in his own thoughts.

The party crosses the bridge, and follows the passageway as it winds around the corner.  They go by an opening on their left and see a steep cliff going down to the creek that they came in on.

Just a little further and they can see the flickering flames of a cook fire, and hear the snarling and chattering of goblins.

Before they round the final bend, Baeshra will call out, "We've killed Klarg, now send out the captives, all of them!"

The goblin chatter dies down at Baeshra's shout.  A single goblin sticks he's head around the corner for a second and then disappears back inside the chamber. 

A voice yells a response in Common: "Well look at that!  Old Klarg finally got what was coming to him.  You better come on in and get your friends, they aren't able to walk very well."

Kume strode forward into the chamber with his shield up....

As Kume walks forward, Baeshra will call out again, “Alright, but if they are harmed or if you try and double cross us in any way, none of you will leave here alive.”

Whistler will attempt to shield his body with his Greatsword.

Cronan will nod at the goblins as he walks by and helps the hostages.
