In goblin: "Glufs with others outside. We have new Stonehill Clan. We have new place and wolves and strong hunters. We brought Stirges. You make good meal. We need to speak with King Grol and Raldrug and Kronkac." (( Persuasion: 21 ))
Gralk nods, says in common, "Follow. We put sack in their.", pointing to the left side entrance Yegg came from, "Then we go to king gaurd.", she points to a door farther along the passage on the right side.
As the cart is pulled away, Rinn stands up and stretches. "Well, Wolfsong. Looks like you and I get to do a little scouting again," he says with a beaming smile. "Stay safe everyone. We'll try to position ourselves in a spot where we can offer some cover and aid should things go sideways." He then starts moving towards the hidden entrance they'd spoken about, stopping as he is about to leave the group and turns, gives a wave and a big smile, then disappears.
(Stealth: 22 and Perception: 15 for the infiltration.)
From the cart's unobserved location against the southern wall It's easy enough for Rinn to quietly scramble to the top of this heavily collapsed structure and begin working his way north to the opposite side of the "castle" where Gaatbort said a hidden way in exists. Ikki follows in flight keeping watch on the surroundings.
Stealth (ad - flight): 22
Perception (ad - keen sight): 20
(( Rinn roll your next Stealth and Perception w/ advantage. You are now on "rooftop" of the crumbling castle's existing floor. ))

Rinn paused for a moment on the rooftop as he thought about Robwin's message. I'm not entirely sure, he thought to himself, All I knew is I was sneaking in. The plan was really confusing. He scans the rooftop once again before replying, "Maybe stick with the goblins going in as best you can. Either disguised as a goblin or as a prisoner? I'm on the roof so will see you soon." Rinn then turns and waves to Ikki flying above and turns to help Wolfsong up before moving on as carefully as he can, watching for any sentries (Stealth: 27 and Perception: 19).
(( Was Robwin with Gralk, Blaire and Bess at the Iron door? If so, he heard the exchange between Yegg and Gralk as well as Gralk asking them to follow. If not, she'll say in common. "Come to iron gate. We be there soon." ))
Rinn: There are no sentries on the crumbling collapsed structure as far as you can tell. With no trouble, you are quickly and quickly across half the structure. This is amazing. There is so much stuff just up here. Parts of the reckage of long abandoned chambers are exposed to the elements. Segments are nearly completely reclaimed by the wood. Who knows what you would find if you rummaged about.
Gralk follows Yegg. Blaire follows Gralk. The sack over her shoulder and Farx just behind his leash in her hand. Bess following just beside Blaire.
The western portion of this large hall ends in a wall of rubble, but the remainder is still intact. This must once have been the castle’s banquet hall, with a soaring ceiling twenty-five feet high. Two large wooden tables with plain benches stand in the middle of the room, and a brass brazier full of glowing coals is tucked into one corner. Dirty dishes, half-full stewpots, moldy heels of bread, and gnawed bones cover the tables.
The group then leaves the kitchen and goes north 20ft to a curtain, through the curtain, the dancing lights the only illumination, they see a door about 15ft to the west, a curtain 20ft north and an open door 20ft to the east. There is a low burning brazier 10ft into the room and two hobgoblin standing near it.
As the goblins and others head inside, Robwin pauses for just a second to remind himself that he’s representing the College of Abjuration Wizards from Neverwinter. He tugs the hem of his short orange robe down straight, to his mid-thigh, and straightens his floppy hat a little on his head. He then strides in after Gralk.
He messages Rinn and Wolfsong to tell them he’s inside with Gralk. And he ‘thinks’ to Lia, on his shoulder, ‘Keep your eyes and ears peeled!...”.

The "short" fat goblin eyes the group while unlocking the iron door and pulling it open.
He hugs Gralk.
In goblin: "Come, bring sack to kitchen then go see king. Large pale skins and wolf. You sure King will be pleased?"
Gralk nods, says in common, "Follow. We put sack in their.", pointing to the left side entrance Yegg came from, "Then we go to king gaurd.", she points to a door farther along the passage on the right side.
(( What's happening? ))
As the cart is pulled away, Rinn stands up and stretches. "Well, Wolfsong. Looks like you and I get to do a little scouting again," he says with a beaming smile. "Stay safe everyone.

(Stealth: 22 and Perception: 15 for the infiltration.)
Robwin sees the friendly welcome Gralk receives. And notices Rinn and Wolfsong slinking off to find the other entrance.
((So he’s left with TT, Blaire, Eli and Ikki? Is that right?))
Before he loses sight of everyone he quickly uses message to ask Gralk, “Should we follow you in, or wait outside?...”.
He also quickly messages Rinn, “Should we follow the goblins in, or follow you guys around and wait outside?”.
He looks from Gralk, to the disappearing Rinn, and back again, trying to remember the whole plan...

Eli, Gaatbort, Glufs and the wolves stay guarding the cart, mules and supplies.
Is TT staying with them, following Gralk into the castle, catching a ride with Ikki to the castle top to follow Rinn or something else?
Where is Lia?
TT would like to stay with the cart, Blaire can heal and help the ones inside. She needs to protect her friends outside.

Lia is with Robwin, perched on his shoulder. An extra pair of eyes.
((Does Gralk respond to Robwin’s message?))

Robwin quickly messages Wolfsong too, “Where do you want me?”.

Gralk follows Yegg. Blaire follows Gralk. The sack over her shoulder and Farx just behind his leash in her hand. Bess following just beside Blaire.

Two large wooden tables with plain benches stand in the middle of the room, and a brass brazier full of glowing coals is tucked into one corner. Dirty dishes, half-full stewpots, moldy heels of bread, and gnawed bones cover the tables.
There are four goblins in the southwest corner near an arrow slit arguing whether or not the pile of pots need cleaned.
"I told you to clean them!", Yegg is suddenly barking, "SO DO IT!"
"Here, Gralk, dear, show Yegg what you bring.", he says sweeping a spot at the eastern most end of a table clear.
Blaire hefty the sack onto the table.
Gralk says, "Thank you. ", in common then opens the sack and begins pulling the eight to twelve inch long bat/mosquitoe creatures out.
In goblin, "These are fresh. Killed this morning. You make for everyone?"
Yegg nods and starts ordering other goblins to help start cleaning and preparing the Stirges.
The group then leaves the kitchen and goes north 20ft to a curtain, through the curtain, the dancing lights the only illumination, they see a door about 15ft to the west, a curtain 20ft north and an open door 20ft to the east.
