(Ouch, those die rolls are pretty bad. Luckily, you don’t need to roll for this one). 

Zee quickly searches the room for anything out of place, which he quickly finds. The captured provisions are marked with the symbol of a blue lion- marking them as belonging to the Lionshield Coster, a prominent merchant company in Athetome. At the foot of Klarg’s throne of crates, he spots a wooden treasure chest. Behind the throne, he finds also two bundles of equipment. One seems to belong to Sharloon, as there is no armor and only a variety of simple weapons. The other contains the armor Sildar had been wearing in the tavern, along with a number of martial weapons. Interestingly, there is also a sealed letter found packed within the breastplate. 

Zee would immediately open it, read it, and put it back, trying not to be noticed. (I doubt he will be unnoticed, but he will try.)

Murmen will look around to see if he can find where the woman went.

Perception: 24 (Mod is -1 instead of +5 for investigation.)

Astounded at the speed and efficiency of the group's violence, Sharloon wiped down and cleaned the edges of his staff on Klarg's mated hair. 

"Well done, all, he intoned quietly to the group.  As several members began to bind the goblins and search the room Sharloon started to make towards the other passage.  His reptilian eyes narrowed to slits as he stared out trying to find any trace of the woman.  "I know..."  he muttered over his shoulder.  "It certainly did.  Far more impressive than I'd have thought too."  

When Zee found the bundles with his weapons, Sharloon walked over and knelt near the bundle.  "Things are just things...but sometimes having ones own things is a comfort.  Despite what you say..." he pronounced to the air in the far corner of the room.  Then, reclaiming his gear, Sharloon moved to take position near the opening.  Feeling energized and now again fully geared, the dragonborn placed himself as sentry near the path to the rest of the Goblin den.  

OOC:

Sharloon will guard the entry area to the chamber.  Perception  7 He will hold action with his staff.  If anyone approaches I will call out to them.  If they answer I'll call for them to get Yeemik.  If they approach in a hostile manner...bust heads on the first armed combatant that enters. 

Yeemik Arrives

Murmen nods slowly.

"And how do we know ye won’t just backstab us anyways?  Ye obviously dinnae have any problem doing so."

Arikon had always expected that Yeemik would betray them at the first oppprtunity and so it came as no surprise when he uttered his demands. 'This little creature will pay for his insolence.', promised himself. For the moment they found themselves in an unenviable position, basically trapped inside the cave. The only way out was back through the shaft and for all they knew, even this way could have been under guard by now. "Those little bastards!", he muttered angrily. "No one need to die here eh? I am of a mind to mount his head on a spike right now." The needed a plan or some leverage to negotiate from a stronger position. If they gave Yeemik an inch he would take a whole mile, the young sorcerer was certain.

Yeemik laughs as he listens to Murmen. 

“Backstab? No, this is not a backstab, simply an extra fee for the information I have offered you.” He points at Klarg’s corpse. 

“You were able to defeat him with nary a scratch, eh? Come on. I don’t want a fight, and neither do you. Hand over the money, and we can go on with our lives.”

Hearing Yeemik, Arikon moved closer towards the steps to the other room. "Look Yeemik. You are a smart goblin. You know that we can't just give you 50 gold pieces. Send Sildar over to us, we need to examine him before we can agree to anything.", he paused before continuing. "You have us basically trapped in here, a show of goodwill would go a long way to make this deal happen and avoid further bloodshed."

(Persuasion 9 +5 + Inspiration 2 rememberd the inspiration rule incorrectly ... forgot its adavntage on the roll which would be 22)

See goes to the chest and looks to see if there is a bag of gold with intent to give it over. They had another person to save and goods to deliver, plus See kinda liked Yeemik. The goblin was smart, crafty, and Zee's favorite, tricky.

As Yemik pulls his sword to Sildar's neck Jeb reaches out with his mind once more to twist Fate about Yemik.

<I know we're out of combat; but I figure I still need to note the below.>

Jeb moves Hex from Klarg to Yemik and applies disadvantage to his Charisma checks. Jeb then casts Prestidigitation to burn away <Clean> Klarg and Ripper's blood from his drawn rapier as he stares out at the gathered goblinoids.

Deleted.

<Jeb is working to build up doubt in the minds of the Yemik's followers about the wisdom of Yemik's attempt to manipulate the party of powerful adventurers that just slew the big bad Klarg in two breaths time. Thus the subtle non-threatening action that demonstrates both the physical proof of the slaying, the bloody rapier, and mystical power to not just clean the rapier; but do it in a manner that is itself somewhat menacing.>

 Intimidation with Inspiration: 14

(If the keep highest part was just for advantage, you can also just type 1d20ad.  If you didn't know.)

Murmen will keep his weapon unsheathed, but not make any overtly hostile moves.

With Jeb and Arikon both conversing and dealing with Yeemik, Sharloon kept his position on guard against the opening.  As he hadn’t said or done anything thus far to draw attention to himself,  he simply scanned the group from the shadows just beyond the edge and waited with weapon at the ready to see what Yeemik would do...

OOC:  Sharloon will try and stay back and out of sight in case this goes sideways.  He will also be watching ( From his field of view) the area in case the goblins try anything.  If possible Shar will attempt to be in stealth at the entry area staying out of sight of the goblins.  Stealth 14 And hold his attack in case they do anything stupid.  

Edit: Good grief!  Shar is apparently dense and obvious in the past few minutes.  Maybe the dice are saving good roles for combat?  Yeah, prob not.  

 Jeb curses Yeemik's charismatic ability with hex, before making a magical demonstration of cleaning his rapier. The goblin archers audibly gasp as Klarg's blood on the rapier is burnt away. Yeemik scowls and snarls back at them in Goblin, which Sharloon can partially understand. "Just...trick!"

Murmen curses softly under his breath, but waits for the rest of party to act.

(Is his concentration on bless still up?  Or has it been a minute already?)

(If you start combat this instant, you will have two rounds of it still active. Otherwise, if John goes over it's off). 

Zee will pocket the frog statue and the potions and turns around to watch his boi John be pushed to his limit.

"It's all right John, don't sweat it." Zee tells John

He then looks to Yeemit "If I drop my weapons and shield, would you let me be the one to come check?"

Persuasion: 9 inspiration used for advantage :27
