"That is nice to know Klarg. I think that it would be better for you though to find a new place to lair. Yeemik must have had allies that will come back in greater numbers and they might blame you. If so then you would be harmed." Kayassa says as she steps back slowly.

“Klarg not scared of Yeemik and his puny minions,” Klarg says with a chuckle. “Klarg does has Ripper on his side after all,” he continues patting the large wolf at his side.

What would you like to do?

"Well they seemed to have had their own Rippers. If they outnumber you then it may not go in your favor. Besides if you leave here then you can ready yourself and the look on the little weaklings face's as they fall to you will be all the better." Kayassa says, trying to get the bugbear to leave or to keep him distracted as she waits for her companions to make a move.

“King Grol ask Klarg to stay here and keep provisions safe until he can retrieve them himself. So Klarg stay to do that. Klarg does not want to upset King Grol,” Klarg says almost as if explaining something to a small child. 

What would the party like to do?

"He could stay here, right?" Orro whispers. "And we could leave him be?"

"We could but I do not know if that is a wise choice." Kayassa says quietly while looking to the others.

“We should try to retrieve those provisions he spoke of” Sildar says quietly. “Returning them to the folks in Phandalin would be wise. You might even be compensated for your troubles,” he continues. 

Ryzen approaches and says quietly, "Once your spell wears off, won't he become angry?"

"Yes but we have a little under an hour before it wears off of him. If you think it would be wise to end him then we should do that before he reacts." Kayassa says warily.

“That would be my vote,” Sildar whisper vehemently. “After all he’s done... to me and others!”

Klarg stands about 10 feet away, impatiently tapping his foot, unsure of what is going on at the moment.

Ryzen looks from Klarg to the party. Leaving him was looking like the best option, but Ryzen's logic was being tainted by Gerizon. All Gerizon wanted to do was kill in spite of his spoken desire to learn and grow. Biting his lip, Ryzen says to the group with a slight struggle in his voice, "Let's go."

Kayassa nods even if she herself think that it would be wise to get rid of the threat. "We are going to let you be. Thank you for what you have told us."

Orro walks up to Kayassa and whispers, "should we see if Klarg here has anything he'd like to bestow as a parting gift to his new friends?"

“If we must,” Sildar says forlornly, obviously dismayed at the idea of letting the Bugbear go free. Nevertheless, he appears ready to follow the party in whatever they choose to do.

Orro turns to Sildar and says quietly, "Do you think him beyond redemption? He has obviously wronged you and my cousin and is losing his enterprise here. We may be able to learn more from him alive than risking battle with the wolf and such a large bugbear. If you insist, though, I will have your back."

Ryzen begins leading the group out from the cave system. It's better they don't push their luck demanding treasure. Besides, if they ever find Guide employer, they'll get payed then. When they arrive back at their wagon, he asks Sildar, "So where are these echo cave things?"

Kayassa keeps a look out behind them as they step away from Klarg. Her mind is focused on getting back to the wagon before the spell runs out. "We should do our best to be away before the spell ends. If he was hard to deal with before then once he comes to his senses it will be worse."

The party follows Ryzen who quickly walks out of Klarg’s cavern, making their way out of the entire cave system back into the light of day. Right now it is about 3 PM. You remember it took about an hour to walk down the path that led you here before you return to Triboar Trail, and around 2 hours after that to reach Phandalin. 

At the sight of the sun and nature, Sildar drops the crude shortsword he had taken off of a dead goblin and murmurs a small prayer as he looks to the sky. He then turns to your group. “Thank you,” he says. “Truly, thank you.”
