-Jasper looks at the few...sure that Orro and Kayssa could get what they wanted from the goblin, he went ahead with Ryzen, lurking as he had sense getting off the wagon-

(i starting to see a pattern in this <.<)

Jasper and Ryzen: Entering cave, it’s is clear that the cave goes back further that you initially thought. The path you are on seems to continue next to the stream deeper into the cave, and as I said earlier there is a set of crude steps leading up to a room to the right of the path. At your position, there seems to be sounds of barking and snarling coming from the room. 

Would you like to continue?

Kayassa: The goblin immediately becomes serious before curtly saying, “Of course, right. Well you see, I’m not exactly the highest on the totem pole, and all I know is me boss—Klarg— received a message from some guy name the ‘Black Spider.’ I mean how full of yourself do you have to be,” he says chuckling. “Anyway, we were told to capture some dwarf and his guard, but as far as I know, the human is somewhere in the cave, but the dwarf is long gone.” He pauses now, waiting expectantly, his body language seeming to say. Is that enough?

The satyr turns to look at the others as she keeps her staff within clear sight of the goblin. "Is that enough let him go? Or should we keep him longer to find out what else he knows? I mean if not then he can leave."

“Long gone as in taken away somewhere? Or dead?” Orro says with a growl.

“Taken,” he quickly says. “To the boss of my boss. Placed called Cragmaw Castle I believe.” 

Orro grunts. “Okay. I think we can tie him up and bring him just inside, and set him free once we go get Sildar. Who’s somewhere in the cave. Gundren’s been taken somewhere called Cragmaw Castle. This one’s boss is called Klarg, and he works for someone called The Black Spider. I get the sense this one isn’t very knowledgeable about what’s inside.”

Orro, tying up the goblin, asks the goblin one more time what they can expect in there, and assures him that they will return and untie him when they have rescued Sildar, so the more informative he is, the more likely the party will survive and return to untie him. If they don’t survive, the rest of the goblins will find him tied up, with a dead co-guard, and having failed at his job. More incentive.

At the sound of Orro's mercy, the goblin begins to grovel at your feet, saying "Thank you, thank you. So kind, so good, so merciful." After that, the goblin sits up again and says, "Just more goblins, and a couple wolves. Klarg is powerful, but you lot are powerful too. Very powerful...very... kind." He slowly comes to a stop "Please don't kill me."

What would you like to do?

Thrax looks at the groveling goblin with contempt, and, seeing that his comrades are done questioning it, stuffs the gag in its mouth and secures that behind its head. "Just in case," he says to the others.

"There seems no way of retrieving Sildar without a fight. If this wretch speaks truth, perhaps we should try to lure its mates to us, so we can pick them off more easily. Orro, you could call them out, and we can use surprise as our first weapon. Who wants to strike the first blow to the one that shows its ugly face?"

"Maybe we can attempt to charm or question this Klarg? He seems like he might know something that is useful. The others we can either kill or send on their way like this one." Kayassa says as she watches Thrax gag the goblin.

Ryzen makes his way had to the group and says, "It's sounds like there are a bunch of excited goblins down that side tunnel." 

 After hearing the conversation, he walks over to the other goblin and makes sure he steps on the dead goblin as he asks, "Do I need to rough him up a bit to get him to talk more?" He stares the goblin dead in the eyes as he asks this. He pulls out a rag and begins to clean goblin gore from his maul, his gaze never shifting.

The goblin shivers while vigorously shaking his head back and forth at the sign of Ryzen. 

"I think he'll be quiet, let's leave him be. He understands." Orro says, glancing warily at his bloodthirsty companions. He sets the goblin down just inside the cave, and then turns inside. "Now, you said there were goblins just in here?" He listens for goblins.

The goblin yet again shakes his head, before you can just make out through the gag what sounds like: 

“Wolves!”

And as you approach close to the room, you indeed hear the sounds of snarling and barking wolves 

As she hears the wolves in the room Kayassa looks to the others. "Should we ask if there is another way to go around the wolves?"

Drawing his longsword, Thrax hits the bound goblin on the back of the head with the pommel, in an attempt to render it unconscious (Attack: 22 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.).

"Enough chatter," he hisses through clenched teeth. "We are losing our advantage. If we fight inside, the wolves will surely smell us and we gain no surprise. Draw them out and we can fight on our own terms. Orro, call to them! Get them to come out!"

Damage 8

The goblin falls limp to the ground, unconscious again thanks to the pommel of Thrax’s sword.

I will add: There also seems to be the sounds of chains rattling mixed with the sounds the wolves are making.

-"Thax has a point," Jasper stated rather obviously, speaking up from being so quite though the encounter. he drew his rapier and dagger before continuing,"i suggest we get what we need ready before procceding"-

Kayassa only offers up a shrug as she readies herself for combat, the butt of her staff hitting the ground as she readies to cast once more. "I don't like hurting animals but if we must...."  

Ryzen will ready a javelin and tries to get a glimpse of what is down the tunnel without being seen. He will move into the tunnel if appropriate.

Perception: 12

Stealth: 16

My rolls suck :(

Orro barely flinches in response to Thrax’s casual violence. 

“He was cooperating. That wasn’t necessary, my friend. Oh well. Are the wolves in our way? Or are they chained out of the way?”

Orro moves closer to get a look, sighing heavily.
