(BTW, for those who live in the U.S. and are mothers, Happy Mother's Day!)

"I no know nothing about the Black Spider other then he boss of Klarg. He send meessages every few week, and even they no know who Spider is. Yeemik supposed to lead if no Klarg, but if no Yeemik, clan would fight, and victor be lead."

Alaric nods, "Very well. I will return on a little while."

With that he heads back to the group to relay what he had learnt, and see how they are dating.

Eraminus kept his eye on the prisoners. He glanced down towards the entrance of the cave as Alaric stalked back in. He turned his attention back to the goblins after heading the warrior mention a castle, "Our friend over there said that the there is a castle near by. Who knows of it?" 

Yeemik and Krok look at each other. "We no know of any castle, we swears." Those who have made perception checks know they are lying.

Eraminus frowns, "Wrong answer." He draws his dagger, grabbing one of them by the ear and holding the edge to it, "Last chance."

The goblin screams, and not the kind of scream a big tough soldier would make, but one a four year old girl would make. "Cragmaw castle, I know only the name, I SWEAR!!"

Eraminus tosses the goblin aside, pointing the dagger at the other, "You! Do you know where it is or would Barek?" His voice booming and echoing throughout the cave.

((Happy Mother’s Day, everybody. Sorry for the lack of posts. I was busy trying to do a few things for the mothers in my life.))

Flint tries to comfort Sildar, “Aye, I am sure ye did yer best.” Flint listens in on the interrogation and hears the mention of Cragmaw castle. He ponders that name for a moment, trying to remember if he has ever heard of it before.

History Check: 18

He then turns to Sildar and says, “I think ye may yet find a way to make it up to Gundren. Let’s join in on the interrogation and see if we can be of any use.” He helps Sildar up and leads him over to where Eraminus has the captive goblins.

When Alaric returns, he will fill in the group quietly on what he has found, then he will ask Seldar to give him a hand searching the room thoroughly (hoping Seldar has has a chance to observe where his captors store their valuables). He will also ask Flint for some guidance.

Perception: 21

Investigation: 27

Alaric will do the same with history; Seldar is a local and may know more:

History: 20

As he is doing that, he will ask Seldar about the goblins and what he knows of them or the castle, or the Black Spider...

(@Topologydude, no worries! :))

The second goblin shakes his head vigorously, eyes wide.

Flint has never head of Cragmaw castle. Sildar follows Flint to the goblins.

Sildar shakes his head. "These pesky beasts took everything we had with us, and brought it to that blasted castle. Along with the map. I have heard of a Cragmaw castle before, but I no not it's current location. I believe it is somewhere to the North though. I've heard of the Black Spider, in fact, he was the reason I was coming to Phandalin. The Lord's alliance has heard of this, spider, and the trouble it has caused. I was sent to find him and to stop him, some good I did."

After casting guidance on Alaric in an effort to help him and Sildar in their search, Flint goes to Eraminus’ side.

Flint is very impressed by the information his companions have been able to get out of the goblins. However, he tries not to betray his approval by keeping a threatening scowl on his face when in the presence of the goblins. Hoping that Eraminus is close to extracting the location of Cragmaw castle, Flint quietly casts guidance on Eraminus in an effort to help with the interrogation.

Eraminus sighs, "Which way does the messenger come and leave from? Does he come alone or with others?" He catches Sildar speaking, knowing of the castle but not its location. He pays close attention to see if they are lying.

Perception:8 plus 4

Yeemik chuckles weakly. "The cave only have on entrance sir, the message can only come from South. He comes always lone."

(( Have any of us met Sildar before? Assuming Alvara hasn't below, but can revise if he is an NPC our characters should have encountered previously.

Edit: Thanks! Updated ))

Alvara tenses, preparing for battle as she sees a human figure returning with Flint. She regards him cautiously for a moment before realizing it is Sildar, albeit slightly worse for wear.

Listening to the conversation with the Yeemik, Alvara puts on a frown and adds, "And this messenger... what is he...? Is he a goblin?" 

(None of the group would have met him formally, but would've had small talk with him before he set out with Gundren.)

(( ooc: @DM Just checking you saw the search...happy to wait for interrogation to finish. ))

Eraminus turns to the rest of the group and speaks in a hushed tone, "Does anyone have any other questions they might want to ask? If not let's gather what supplies we can and take them to the wagon, have them take Sildar onto town. We can come back and hunt for any tracks the messenger might have left to follow." 

Flint responds to Eraminus in a low tone, “I Dinnae know whit else they can tell us. It seems we know we need to head to Cragmaw castle.” As he speaks, the smell and filth of the cave is starting to wear on Flint. He starts to feel like he needs a bath. Flint agrees with Eraminus’ plan, “Aye, best to gather what we can and continue to town. Maybe the location of Cragmaw castle is known to someone there.”

Alvara responds in a whisper, "Good idea... seems like we have gotten a lot of info."

She turns to the group, thinking further, "What do we want to do about the rest of the goblins and dogs? I wonder how that messenger's going to react when he realizes Klarg is dead...."

Eraminus pondered this for a minute, "We free the wolves while they sleep. We take the supplies back to the wagons then come back and free the goblins. Their weapons go with us or into the pond." He took a momentary pause, "As for the messenger, we could ambush him, incapacitate him, and then interrogate him."
