Irommek listens to the conversation, trying to find the balance to be ready for an attack and still look unimposing.
“Funny looking bunch. They seem to be fairly honest as far as I can tell. Though I can’t say that I’ve seen goblins riding piggy back like that before. Maybe we should ask if they know what happened to the other humans or anyone else from the Order of the Gauntlet?”

“Aye, although their dialect is a little different than what I’m used to but I get the gist of it. I like the idea of trying to get something from them for our services. I picked up a handy compass once from a goblin in a trade. Heheh, I also picked up a silver bell that doesn’t work from a goblin that I still carry with me, so you never know what you’ll get in return. Just don’t take any food from them. That never ends up well.”
Oniss does his best to hold back a laugh at Irommek food comment and speaks to the goblin stack;
"We are only three and with other members of our party soon to be joining us, we will wait for them before any plans to go into the temple. If we clear out your undead in the temple we will be claiming any loot for ourselves. While I have long and trusting relationships with some goblin folk, my comrades and I do not work for free. Now tell me what do you know of the people who originally set up this camp?"
The goblin on the top replies to Oniss:" Other members? you say the ones on you boat and they are now behind the trees? Yes we see them. Take them and go inside. Take whatever you want. People here are dead now. The jungle killed them. You go inside now, or we talk funny till dark? "
//OCC - I say lets check this temple out. but I am still wary of goblins just letting us go, unlike any goblin encounter I have had. I think it will be filled with traps and/or too many undead.//
Oniss walks towards the temple and greets Brunella;
"Best laid plans and all...Shall we go and loot this place?"
Brunella nods. "This is a good point. The goblins are dangerous, and would overwhelm one or two people left to guard the canoes. But if we split the party in two there is risk of danger in the temple."
Gertrude walks up to the entry. "Can you ask them more details? Why are they guarding the place but letting us take anything we find?" (OCC:I assume Oniss filled us in on the negotiations?)
"I'll go in first and check for traps. No idea how we can protect our canoes. Maybe ask the goblins to protect them and give us something that is of value to them, for example a weapon, like a deposit/collateral."
The ceiling of the entrance to the temple is 23 feet high and draped with cobwebs, and the stone-tiled floor is covered with a thick layer of mud, creepers, and blown-in leaves.
OOC In case you want to check for traps, make a Perception check.
“Oniss, maybe ask them what they would offer if we clear the undead for them?”

To Irommek as well, the goblins are being honest.

The goblin on the top replies to Oniss: " Other members? you say the ones on you boat and they are now behind the trees? Yes we see them. Take them and go inside. Take whatever you want. People here are dead now. The jungle killed them. You go inside now, or we talk funny till dark? "
Oniss looks to the stack surprised then looks to Kurma and Irommek with wide eyes and a smirk;
"So much for our stealthy companions."
He turns back to the goblins,
"We will gather our poorly hidden friends, you understand our caution. We will check out this temple but what I said before still stands."
Oniss cups his hands over his mouth and shouts towards the direction of the trees.
"COME ON OUT! THEY KNOW YOU ARE THERE! BE CAREFUL THOUGH!"
Oniss begins waving his companions over to his trio.

Brunella comes out of the bushes, sword at the ready.

Nyx, Fairy Cleric, Descent Into Avernus
Felix waits in the bush he's hiding and wait for the others to move first still trying to hide.
Stealth: 8
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiAOOC All right, so Felix aside which is successfully hiding, the others all come out in the open? What is your next move?
Brunella does not see any value in further talk. With the party she moves to the base of the statue, looking for the entrance.

Felix once the others are group together will make his way to them stealthily moving pass goblins.
[Metal Gear style any checks i need to make to move pass them undetected? ]
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiAInete and Musharib join Oniss and Brunella at the statue entrance.
Inete: " Are we sure to leave the canoes there with no one guarding them? I hate splitting the group but if we lose the canoes..."
Brunella nods. "This is a good point. The goblins are dangerous, and would overwhelm one or two people left to guard the canoes. But if we split the party in two there is risk of danger in the temple."

Kurma is getting ready to help Gertrude in case she fell into a pit for example.
OOC: can i ready an action of help ?
