Gralk in goblin cries out, "Raldrug! Kronkac!", and runs to them hugging the nearest one across the waist. It's about five and a half feet tall while the other is around six feet three compared to Gralk's four feet two inches. In goblin she's quickly saying, "We must speak to our king. We find terrible troubles. We are strong and have strong pack with us. Found Targor dead and others not known and bad stories! And have strong pack and clan! These are clan too! Must speak with king."

Gralk is crying a bit now.  (( Persuasion: 16 ))

"Seeded does not hug or cry!", Raldrug admonishes gently in goblin. 

Drawing his sword, Kronkac asks in common, "Why is a pale skin human here? Why is your kin on a leash?"

Gralk replies in goblin, "We must speak to king. Farx is my prisoner. Kept after my sister", motioning to Blaire, "and clan beat Cragmaw lasher Klarg."

In common Gralk says, "Blaire is Booyahg."

(( Persuasion: 18 ))

In goblin Gralk continues, "This is Robwin. He also Booyahg. Makes fire easy! So pretty!" 

The taller hobgoblin backs up ten feet to the opposite wall.

In common, "You go speak with King. No good for many Booyahg in one place for too long."

In goblin Raldrug says to Gralk, "Targor and Klarg cause trouble. Not sure what all is going on. Tell King Grol everything maybe better."

Is Rinn exploring or keeping his focus on getting across to the north side?

At his introduction, Robwin says politely “Greetings, greetings,.. ...Oh, and what’s this?!....”. He casts prestidigitation to pull a playing-card from thin air. Then casts it again, to make the card disappear in a delicate shower of sparks. “Ooh!!... A-ha-ha!.. ...A-hahahaha..... eh? eh?!”.

Then he performs a rather elaborate eleven bow that almost looks like a curtsy.

Then he instantly regrets everything that’s just happened, and wishes he could go out and come back in again, and just play it cool...

Rinn looks back to see where Wolfsong is. He rummages through the rubble for a bit while he waits for his companion to catch up (Investigation: 16). He then continues on, crossing the rooftop quietly, keeping an eye out for any sentries (Stealth: 10 and Perception: 13).

TT will be keeping her eyes open nervously

Perception 21

((Sorry got surprisingly busy this weekend, Wolfsong will be traveling with Rinn))

“Aye, if all this works out with Gralk then all we will have to do is watch,” Wolfsong nods as he follows Rinn away from the cart towards the castle letting Rinn take the lead as the more stealthy of the two. Wolfsong keeps his eye on Blaire, Gralk, and the others. (Stealth: 9 Perception: 12 )

Wolfsong accepts Rinn’s help getting on the rooftop, when he hears Robwin’s voice whisper in his ear he answers back, “Keep an eye on Blaire and Gralk if you are with them. If you see anything suspicious let us know." He then turns to Rinn, “Seems they do not have sentries here, surprising.” (Stealth: 12Perception: 19 )

Wolfsong struggles a little on the rooftops having more experience on forest floors, he is a little out of breath as he rejoins with Rinn and whispers, “You will need to tell me your secret in moving up here, I am not used to it.” (Stealth: 9 Perception: 8)

From the roof you can see, as Ikki and Lia via Robwin described, this ancient stronghold consists of seven overlapping towers. Its upper levels have long since collapsed to heaps of crumbling masonry. Only the ground floor is still sound enough to be habitable. (( The going is rough terrain. Rinn and Wolfsong manage well enough. ))

While rummaging around at one point, Rinn, you find a small weather beaten chest containing three dolls. Each made of wood, cloth, fiber and porcelain with painted feet, hands and head. One is in very good condition, one fair and one very poor.

Rinn, Wolfsong, You manage to work your way across this dilapidated structure to the north side. You're 30 ft high at the lowest point on this side without growth to use, but there are some more crumbled areas. (( Make athletic or acrobatic check to get down the structure safely. Make Perception and Stealth check to avoid arrow slits or other prying eyes. ))

TT roll a d12.

Blaire and Robwin the barracks are separated from "the king's hall" bay another curtain. 

As you follow Gralk to the "King's chambers", another iron banded wooden door set in the northeast corner of this small 20ft x 30ft T, she stops facing the door, listening. 

You hear two voices speaking common in a heated discussion. One voice is loud, growling, demanding payment for something, and the other is silky smooth replying.

Gralk pushes open the door, marching in, head held very high.

Do you follow?

 Rinn puts the three dolls into his pack, "I'm sure I can find a new home for you somewhere in Phandalin," he says quietly to himself.

If Gralk goes in, so does Robwin with Lia on his shoulder. Formal but non-threatening...

Just before, he will message Rinn and Wolfsong, “We’re entering the king’s chamber I think. Stand by”.

Rinn: You do trip up a bit on your way down but you make it down. (( You do take 5 damage in the fall. )) 

As TT and Eli are watching a goblin barks something from the west end of the castle; the "front".

Gaatbort barks something back. Eli immediately reaches for his blade when Glufs says in common, "Wait! Wait! Gaurd asks what we do. Gaatbort say wait for sisters and care new pack."

The goblin barks back and Gaatbort jumps on Ox.

Glufs says, "Gaurd say prove pack his. Might be bad."

Gaatbort barks something and charges toward the Gaurd on Ox, Jack running close behind. 

(( Intimidation: 21; Animal Handling: 14 )) 

As Gaatbort gets within inches he easily guides the two wolves to stop, the Gaurd partially cowers then recovers.

You hear laughing from the west end and the arrow slits on that side of the castle. 

Glufs says, "That was close thing."
