"Why would Klarg need them alive? Does your cave have sentries and patrols around the outside?"

Flint addresses the goblin. “Yer doing well wee one.” Flint hands the goblin a short stick points to the dirt of the road and asks “Can ye use this to draw a map of the cave? I want to know the number of rooms how they are connected and where Klarg will be.”

"I no no why Klarg want dem. We sometime a sentirk near cave." When the dwarf picks up the stick, the goblin flinches. When he sees he means no harm Barek continues. "I have map, I show." The goblin pulls a map out of a pocket, and proceeds to show it. (Of course the map is only lines, but this is the only map I have of the cave.)

Still turning the silver piece in her hand, Alvara studies the map Barek pulled out. "Can you point at where any traps are?"

Eraminus stands in silence, watching and listening. He makes note of the map in his mind of where the branches are.

"Klarg no like trap, so no trapped."

"Lead us there. To ensure there are no tricks you'll be gagged and have your hands bound behind you." Eraminus said as he began to tie up the goblin with a length of rope.

"Yes, yes. Barek do as tell." The goblin begins to lead you into the forest, North. (Going to give the other a chance to catch up.)

Flint is visibly amazed at the goblin's artistic ability. He stares at the map for a while, trying to devote it to memory.

Eraminus' actions grab Flints attention. He nods his approval and begins to follow Barek and Eraminus northward.

Alvara falls in line behind Eraminus and Flint, following Barek north.

Eraminus draws one of his handaxes, while keeping close to Barek.  He keeps scanning his surroundings to ensure they aren't  being lead into a trap or the wrong way. 

Perception 24

As the group moves, Flint keeps his eyes glued to the ground. He turns to the gagged goblin and says, "Now, don't you mislead us or we won't be so friendly anymore." Flint looks for any hint of goblin tracks, blood, drag marks, or anything else that would show they are on the right path.

Survival Check 18

Alaric listens as the questioning contributes, then asks "Show me on the map where Klarg goes, and where he sleeps, and is it with all the other goblins?"

After that he asks, "Where would they put the human and the dwarf?"

 When they head of into the forest, Alaric will take the lead, sneaking, will there is only one path, going to spot any ambushers.

"Klag stay in this room. Klarg no stay what other goblins." He points to the Southeastern room. "I no know were they put dwarf and human.)

Ideally out of earshot of Barek, Alaric says to the group in general, "I think we need a plan. I'm not very keen on killing a whole clan of goblins, especially if they have been pushed to do this by Klarg, but there may be no alternative."

He looks at Eraminus, "I liked your idea -- to call out Klarg -- but Barek's response makes me think it may not work...we could attack and try to knock as many unconscious as possible, I suppose...or attack them if and when they leave the cave. Given the size of the map, I don't think there can be many of them, but on the outside we might be easily overwhelmed by their numbers."

He looks at the map again, "This water...it goes almost to Klarg's room..."

Alkyn walks to Barek and asks, "The river on your map...is it deep, and which way does it flow?"

[[ Listens to answer ]]

"Thank you Barek; I have one more question..when do the goblins and Karg rest? During the day, or at night?"

Eraminus listens while they walk, a steath operation might be what was needed but he tended to favor chivalric duels and open combat. He glanced at the rogue, listening to what he might be inquiring about. 

"Klarg make half of us sleep at time, during night, he think this help us. The river is no deep, only," The goblin seemd to be trying to find a way to show you how deep, as he doesn't know numbers. "The tiny dwarf could stand it."

Eraminus smirked, "Good measurement Barek. Does the river flow into the cave or out from it?" He stepped around a puddle, his foot lightly depressing into the mud. 

"River flow out of pool in cave."

"How armored and armed are the goblins?" Eraminus ducked below a branch as he asked
