"Look, I don't understand half of what's going on. And most here look as confused as I am. Would someone tell me what is going on?", Rockseeker asks strocking his disheveled beard.
"We came seeking you," Wolfsong says calming nodding towards Rockseeker. "You have information that could aid us in a hunt, and if I had to guess this Black Spider character that keeps popping up, is seeking the same information."
Wolfsong turns to Grol, "Will you let us take the dwarf and his possessions with us?"
King Grol in common says, "Explain, What hunt? [Goblin: rock breaker] is Gralk. [Goblin: She find it valuable.] "
Gralk in goblin, "It is a wonderful gift."
King Grol holds up a hand to Gralk.
He looks back to the group now standing just inside his chambers. In common, "Too many in chamber. Go to hall. Sit, tell us of Stonehill clan and of hunt."
In goblin Gralk perking up says, "Yegg is making feast, my king! Stirges! Lots of them!"
King Grol looks back at the party, in common says, "You harvest Striges for castle feast!", he bursts out laughing, "You all Booyahg or touched!"
Robwin stows what he finds on the drow (to show the group later), and stands up as the king is laughing, and celebrating, and talking of a feast.
After the king leaves the room (beckoning them all to the main hall), for a second, Robwin crumbles as he realises the danger he might have been in, if things hadn’t gone well! He bends over at the waist, hands on his knees, looking at the floor for a moment, his head swimming.
After a while he stands up straight again, pulls his robes back down smooth, and follows the others through to the main hall for food.
The group takes a route west out of the king's chambers, across the tee shaped hall, into the provisions room then south through two curtains to the kitchen/banquet hall door on the west just before the south castle entrance.
Hanging back Rinn notices some gear laying amid the old casks of salted meat and sacks of rotting grain.
Also, Ikki is still just outside this area holding watch.
Robwin attempts to messageanyone not with the partyin the banquet hall, to tell them ‘all is well’, and that they’re ‘gathering with the king for food and talk’.
Yegg scrambles into phrenetic energy ordering the other staff about for cups and plates and food and drink. You get the distinct sense that the food stuffs both what is cooking and what is laid out before you may be fine for goblinkin but a bit iffy for the rest of you.
Then again some of the offerings, like grubs in pepper sauce, salted locus and pickled roots are familiar to Wolfsong and Blaire.
Large mugs of malted beer, sweet and very weak, are set out.
In goblin King Grol makes a few orders, "Badash! Stregrzxt! You hear common speak goblin. Ragnar! Tell sentries Stonehill clan not all goblinkin! Don't shoot first!"
The banquet hall is twenty-five feet north to south and thirty-five feet east to west. Goblinkin go in and out of a southwest tunnel of rubble leading farther west.
There is a brazier in the northeast corner were the goblins are roasting meat. There is a set of shelves and counters at the northwest corner where the goblins prepare meals, clean pots and pans and who knows what else.
Rinn notices the gear and so meanders to the back of the group and casually over to the spotted goods. He looks around to make sure he's not being watched (Perception: 6), then quickly looks over the gear for anything that might be valuable or useful (Investigation: 23).
You, Rinn, see one small cask, a bloody suit of chain mail, a heavy crossbow, and an unsheathed longsword with the emblem of Neverwinter worked into its hilt.
While you pick up the cask a hobgoblin behind you says, "Take it if you want, Stonehill, King Grol doesn't want it; too small.", says a Hobgoblin
"Gaatbort says you are deadly with your bow.", it says while it hefts up some provisions.
"Don’t go in west hall. Priest pet eat what not goblin. Hate Priests. Crazy."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rinn, startled a little by the hobgoblin, nods, "Uh, thank you." Before the hobgoblin leaves, Rinn queries, "What is the priest's pet?" He then waits for the hobgoblin to go, then packs the longsword into his things and then opens the cask to look inside (Investigation: 20 if you want it).
Once seated at the banquet table Wolfsong puts together a small plate of food for himself then turns his attention to Grol, "We are hunting the white dragon that has been spotted around this area. It nearly took my life when I first came to the area and I hope to repay it in kind."
Wolfsong crunches one of the salted locus before continuing, "We rescued Sildar, an acquaintance of Sir Rockseeker, from a band of goblins lead by a bugbear named Klarg if I remember correctly. After we brought Sildar back to Phandalin, then we came here to seek Rockseeker."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Robwin quietly asks Blaire at the table, “Psst... Am I okay eating all of this?....”. He will take a little of the things she suggests, even if it’s bugs and things (his main concern is just anything toxic. He’s willing to try anything properly edible).
He’ll try things properly first...
Does he like it check: 3
Hmm... it’s.. okay...
He munches on a few things and nods along as Wolfsong eloquently outlines their situation to the king. He’ll also take a small cup of the malted beer too.
After Wolfsong mentions Klarg and coming here Glufs and Gralk fill in in common and goblin pointing to individuals as they speak.
"Wolfsong is lasher and hunter!"
"These joined Stonehill Clan hunters by blood price."
"Klarg was weak body and mind. Make all outside come against nation King Grol."
"We destroy Klarg band beat Cragmaw."
"Blaire and Gaatbort took wolves like taking from mother after weaning."
"Blaire and TT make Cragmaw Hideout now Stonehill Cavern and pale skin, elf and rock breaker say 'yes'. "
"And I take Farx! He say Klarg say you make Black Spider lasher over nation. Say you kill clan lashers! We say king is not weak! If weak die!", Gralk finishes their statements with an empassioned rant.
Farx is curled up in the southwest corner whimpering quietly.
Rockseeker is watching warily all the ranting and goings-on.
Bess is laying out southeast of the brazier against the eastern wall.
"Look, I don't understand half of what's going on. And most here look as confused as I am. Would someone tell me what is going on?", Rockseeker asks strocking his disheveled beard.
Blaire shrugs, "I am confused as you are."
She walks over sits next to him and casts another cure wounds on him. ( heal: 19 )
As Blaire's spell goes off both Raldrug and Kronkac visibly flinch.
King Grol bursts out laughing, "Cowards!" (In goblin)
"We came seeking you," Wolfsong says calming nodding towards Rockseeker. "You have information that could aid us in a hunt, and if I had to guess this Black Spider character that keeps popping up, is seeking the same information."
Wolfsong turns to Grol, "Will you let us take the dwarf and his possessions with us?"

King Grol looks back at the party, in common says, "You harvest Striges for castle feast!", he bursts out laughing, "You all Booyahg or touched!"
Gralk jumps on him then settles in his arm.
"Come! To hall! Tell us! We drink! We eat!"
TT relaxes seeing her friends safe and not in harms way. She nods to Blaire for her aid to the dwarf and follows the group out of the chamber.
Robwin stows what he finds on the drow (to show the group later), and stands up as the king is laughing, and celebrating, and talking of a feast.

Rinn walks casually behind the others, looking around to see if anything catches his eye (Perception: 14).

In common, "Now tell us!"
The banquet hall is twenty-five feet north to south and thirty-five feet east to west. Goblinkin go in and out of a southwest tunnel of rubble leading farther west.

"Find him!"
"He pays in blood!"
