Tagret swings his great axe at the first goblin and embeds the sharp edge into his skull. The goblin dies instantly. Tagret heads over to the second goblin and misjudges his swing and misses the goblin. Then he moves over to the wolf, swings his axe and kills the wolf.
Missing a sleeping target seems prophetic and after ending the wolf, he returns to the sleeping goblin, disarms it of any weapons and then sets about binding it, figuring that perhaps it might know some useful information about Gundren, and the bugbear king at Cragmaw Castle. "Anyone care to help make sure this little critter is bound up good and proper, we should see if it knows anything useful about Gundren". Once that task is complete he then looks around and says "Might as well rest up here, I'll go fetch Sildar" and he disappears to go and carry Sildar back to this cavern and sets him down next to Damian.

An hour later, and Tagret has safely brought Sildar back to this cavern. Sildar is still unconscious whilst the goblin has woken up. He continues to struggle against the ropes that keep him bound. The goblin curses at you all, but you all continue to wait until Tagret comes back before talking to the goblin.

As Tagret goes to get Sildar Saravena stands, leaving Damian to Eniwin, and goes to the corpse of the slain bugbear. Taking out an empty flask from her pack Saravena fills the flask with blood from the bugbear then does the same to the dead goblin followed by the wolf and stores the now filled flasks carefully back in her pack. Once Tagret returns Saravena walks over to check out the crates sitting in on the side of the cave.
Saravena sees that the the creates sitting to the side of the cave are marked with a blue lion, the same symbol you saw outside the trading post in Phandalin. However, she also sees a treasure chest that is not marked.

"Looks like we found the missing Lionshield supplies," Saravena calls to the rest of the group. "And even found a little extra just for us." Saravena then tries to pull the unmarked treasure chest to the center of the room so everyone can see it.
Rashana looks at the crates that are piled up on the side of the cavern. "So how do we get all these crates back to town? Are we each going to carrying some?"
"I think what we should do is this; send one or two people back to the town, they find Linene, tell her where the supplies are, get a carriage or two from her, then come back here where we load up said carriages, and then make our way safely back to town," Saravena says standing over the unmarked chest. "But first we see what is inside here." Saravena then opens the chest while standing behind it so the rest of the group can see what is inside it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"If he is stable, I say we just make camp for the day and see how he is faring after a good sleep. Maybe we should stay together until we are all rested" Tagret says in response to Eniwin's suggestion "Let's see what the goblin can tell us"
Tagret then approaches the struggling goblin "It's no use trying to break free....that would only bring your swift death. You can live if you like, if you are helpful, like your tribesman Murg has been for us. He is set to be freed with coin in his pocket for the information that he gave us to find this cave, you can do the same. All you need to give us is information on Cragmaw Castle and its king. If any information you share is useful then you can take a measure of coins from that chest and leave, if not, your days will end here" Tagret points to the slain leader and other goblins for effect
Intimidation: 7 (if the situation gives advantage 13)
"Bah!" the goblin exclaims. "You want information about Cragmaw Castle and King Grol? I'll give you information about Cragmaw Castle and King Grol. It's not like keeping secrets now is going to do me any good. You can find Cragmaw Castle twenty miles northeast of here. I don't know how many men you'll find up there, I haven't been up there for some time. Mostly King Grol sends messengers down here, rather than us travelling up there.
As such Klarg, over there, received message from King Grol a few days ago. Apparently Grol had been paid by someone called the Black Spider to capture Gundren Rockseeker. So Klarg has been sending a few of us down by the trail to lie in wait for the dwarf to show up. When he does, he is not alone, he is with that human over there. Except, Grol didn't say anything about what to do with anyone else, only the dwarf. So we sent Gundren to the castle and kept him here. Though we decided to torture him for fun.
You might be interested in knowing that Gundren was in the possession of a map. If any of us could read, I would tell you what was on it. Though some of the features did look local to these parts."
The goblin then shrugs his shoulders.
"That's all I know."

Rashana stays behind and listens to the interrogation. She scratches the back of her neck and mutters to herself. "Yes. I think the castle is where we are going next, and look for the Black spider."
She walks up to the goblin. "Who is this King Grol that you're talking about?"
"King Grol is our leader," the goblin explains. "That is, the Cragmaws. He is a bugbear, like Klarg here, but tougher. You won't take him down so easily. That's even if you manage to get to him. I at least know he has an owlbear."
Then you hear coughing behind you all, as Sildar starts to come around.
"Where am I?" he asks weakly.

Leaving the sleeping goblins to Tagret Saravena rushes over to Damian's unconscious form and attempts to stabilize him.

Eniwin will assist
((Welcome back Athenios))
Saravena nods as Eniwin comes to assist her, "Thanks I am out of my field when it comes to this sort of thing."

Slight of hand check

Tagret's Slight of Hand (with advantage): 11
Noting that Tagret will have disarmed the goblin anyway....let's hope the others keep an eye on it.

Damian is stable but unconscious for an hour just like Sildar.
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiATagret will be standing well back and to the side as the chest is opened, still keeping an eye on the bound goblin guard

Inside the chest, you find 600 cp, 110 sp, two potions of healing, and a jade statuette of a frog with tiny golden orbs for eyes.

Eniwin suggest that we use one of the newly found potions on Damian, if it will help.
