The goblin cowers in mock fear, knocking the prisoner's head lightly against the ledge. "Oh mighty friend Rockface, you would not slay one so pitiful as I, would you?" She puts her finger to her temple, leaving only one wavering hand to hold the warrior above the drop. "Of course, if you're willing to kill us now, what's stopping you after we hand over this human?" The goblin cackles again. When she opens his mouth you can see that her teeth are stained bright green. "I'm not as stupid as you think! But I like being nice, especially to you, friend Rockface and friend Monster. So I give you BETTER deal, since you want human so much! You get to leave with human! And human will be alive! All it will cost you is... twenty shiny golden coins!" The goblin stops abruptly. "But perhaps you think a life is worth more than this? Well, I am gracious, I will take all the stuff you give! Bwahaha! But I am also generous, so I only ask for twenty coins."
The goblin hops from foot to foot, shaking the prisoner. "I am so nice, you have so many options! If you leave right now, nobody loses anything 'cept their time. If you give me money, I give you human, everybody happy! But, if you fight, human dies. If you try something tricky, human dies. If you talk too long, human dies.What do you think, friend Rockface?"
While the goblin rambles on, Big Bear does something weird with his hands, which momentarily distracts Doc, although the goblins don't seem to notice it.

Big Bear rushes towards the human and goblin, trying to wrest the body away from the goblin. IF he drops the body, Big Bear will try and dive in after.

As soon as Big Bear starts moving, the goblin drops the prisoner off the ledge! Big Bear dives to catch him before the warrior's head is split open, and the other goblin releases its arrow straight towards the half-orc!
Big Bear's Acrobatics: 21
Shortbow Attack: 9 Damage: 8
Big Bear's Concentration if hit: 11
Big Bear dodges the arrow and grabs the warrior just before his brains are smashed out on the rock!

Yed will rush the goblin who’d been previously holding the human prisoner, seeing now that Big Bear has the human handles. Roaring with anger he will take a mighty two handed swing with his silver Warhammer.

The warrior's wounds close over, and he comes to. "Ugh... what happened... who are you?" A look of recognition comes across his face. "You're Gundren's friends, aren't you?" Suddenly, he tries to stand up, but falls back down. "Gundren! The goblins took Gundren!" He sighs. "I failed. I couldn't stop them." He looks around the room at the dead goblins. "But it looks like you could! Did you find Gundren?"

The warrior coughs, still beaten up. "Pleased to meet you, the name's Sildar. Sildar Hallwinter. I'd be mighty glad to help you out here and get back at those little bastards." He goes over to one of the goblins and picks up its scimitar and shield. "Ready when you are." He smiles nastily.

“You’ve any idea where they might have taken Gundren Sildar? Would help if we had an actual destination in mind instead of just wandering through this cavern and hoping for the best.” Yed says as he scans the area around them, keeping watch as the party prepares.
Sildar thinks for a moment. "Hmm, if he's not here, I bet they took him to their stronghold. One of the goblins mentioned something called Cragmaw Castle, but I ain't never heard of no castle by that name. Still, it's a lead. And maybe we can find someone who has heard of it. I bet they took Gundren there, him and his darn map. Those bastard goblins knew we had it, and they knew we were coming. No way some random bandits would have known that, they must have had help. I heard that big ugly bugbear say something 'bout a Black Spider wanting the map. Sounded like some kind of no-good cult to me." Sildar pauses for a moment. "You know where that furry monster is now? He looked dangerous, wouldn't want to run into him."
Sildar asks Yed a question. "Don't suppose Gundren told you about his map, did he? Those damn dwarves never tell people what they should. Gundren and his brothers, Tharden and Nundro, found where some old long-lost cave called Echo Wave Grotto, or something like that, was. 'Sposed to have some powerful magics in it. Bunch of men and dwarves and gnomes made something called the Delver's Pact there, built a thing called a Spell Forge. 'Course, that was long ago. Some orcs came through and conquered the area, wiped out all the records. When we drove them back, nobody could remember where that Grotto was. 'Sposed to be somewhere near Orlane, though. Anyways, all that to tell you that Gundren thought he found where it was, and was hoping to get rich with it."

Shamash fiddles with the cords around his wrist, and finally gets up the courage to speak. "That is concerning that goblins would be this organized. We MUST find the castle and save Gundren!" (He was not about to lose his first employer since leaving the other group.) "In terms of the bugbear, we...or I should say he [pointing to Yed]...took care of him. Do you have any idea of how many more foes might be in this cave?" Then, turning to the rest, Shamash suggests "we might find some clues to find this Cragmaw Castle elsewhere in this cave, do you think we should finish looking?
