Gabriel hearing Katherine order the goblin to throw down his weapons, Gabriel repeats the command, and readies the same action to attack if the goblin doesn't comply.
"DROP YOUR SWORD, AND GET ON THE GROUND" He shouts in his best commanding voice.
Alarion is still grappling Yeemik, holding him prone.
Grzak’s vision blurs, the morning star’s blow scarring only the goblin’s armor this time.
Katherine’s fierce demand and aimed crossbow convince the other goblin to drop his scimitar and throw his hands in the air. It cowers and falls to the ground at Gabriel’s command.
The dust is settling, the smoke from the fire thinning out.
In the sudden silence, chains rattle and on the upper ledge, the prisoner attempts to speak. “Be you friends…?” the bloodied man croaks.
Yeemik could possibly still break free of his hold but has stopped struggling for the moment.
"We are friends." Kathrine says, making sure Gabriel has the goblin near him under control, then lowers her crossbow and climbs the stairs to the prisoner. "Let's get you down from there..." She suggests, moving to start releasing him from his chains.
Katherine reaches the prisoner. A human with a silver goatee is manacled to the wall by wrists and ankles. His clothes are torn, whip marks showing on flesh underneath the tears. Most of the blood on his face and clothes has dried.
“Lady…” he whispers hoarsely. “The keys are in that goblin leader’s bag. Please… help me out of here. And tie that beast up to learn justice!” he growls.
Grzak wipes his eyes with his offhand forearm and his head begins to clear. He sees Yeemik, instead of his father. He now begins to realize that the goblin is restrained and that (at least currently) he has submitted to the restraint. The fury and illusion is passing and Grzak is barely holding it together. He hates this goblin but to kill him this way would make him no better than the goblins. He pulls the Morningstar up to a ready position and readies an action (attack) if Yeemik tries to break free.
Grzak is in no shape to assist in tying Yeemik up or aiding with the release of Sildar. Deep inside he feels that Gruumsh is scowling and yet Helm is smiling. Grzak does hear Gruumsh, or maybe it's his own internal voice goading Yeemik to try it. "Try it, c'mon do it. Give me this."
"Can someone look in the pouch for the key?" Kathrine asks as it seems the situation with the goblin boss is under control. "There is suppose to be a key in it, for the chains here."
Gabriel kicks the goblins sword away looking down he simple states "run" in most icy tone. Gabriel then will run up to Alarion digging into his pack for some.
"Alarion nice hammer lock, flex the wrist up and pull away from his body will tighten the lock....or so a monk once told me." Gabriel begins to tie Yemmick up, with no idea of hojojutsu Gabriel decides that lots and lots of knots is the way to go.
As if Yeemik hears Grzak’s thoughts, he swivels his head and gives a toothy leer towards the half-orc.
“You begged at the end…” he sneers. Yeemik attempts to spit but Alarion’s knee dives hard into the goblin’s back, making him choke on his own spit.
This may be an attempt to get Grzak to end him, knowing that if he lives, if King Grol finds out that he has failed so badly, things will go much worse for Yeemik.
(metagame, you guys are leveling up after this, and once you have a long rest with Sildar safe, may get a token magical item from your deities... even if Alarion is an atheist he'll get one too lol)

Grzak lowers the Morningstar, switches hands and steps in close to Yeemik.
”Funny, I have no recollection of that.” Grzak spits the words out like they were poison.
Grzak then slams a gut punch into where he guesses would be Yeemik’s solar plexus.
Grzak would like to search the cavern for his greataxe and javelins. He would also like to see if the key opens the lock on his own collar.
(Damn these goblins don't like me!)
"Drop your weapon and you will be spared!" Kathrine yells at the goblin trying to get away from Gabriel.
Intimidation: 12 (If advantage 17)
She readies an action. If the goblin doesn't toss down their weapon and surrendor, she will shoot it...
To hit: 19 Damage: 7

Katherine rushes up the stairs.
A feral goblin prostrates before Gabriel.
Alarion holds Yeemik face down in the dirt on the upper floor, Katherine sees as she rushes to the chained prisoner.
Grzak is breathing hard and swinging the morning star he has named ‘Klarg’s Bane’.
Katherine reaches the prisoner. A human with a silver goatee is manacled to the wall by wrists and ankles. His clothes are torn, whip marks showing on flesh underneath the tears. Most of the blood on his face and clothes has dried.
“Lady…” he whispers hoarsely. “The keys are in that goblin leader’s bag. Please… help me out of here. And tie that beast up to learn justice!” he growls.
His head nods weakly towards Yeemik.
"Gabriel," Alarion calls to the paladin. "Do you have any rope?"

"Can someone look in the pouch for the key?" Kathrine asks as it seems the situation with the goblin boss is under control. "There is suppose to be a key in it, for the chains here."
If the bag is on Yeemik's belt, Alarion will try to grab the keys and throw them to Kathrine. Otherwise, he can't really help.
Gabriel kicks the goblins sword away looking down he simple states "run" in most icy tone. Gabriel then will run up to Alarion digging into his pack for some.

Then Gabriel is there, intervening, and Yeemik yowls as he's hog tied.
Alarion pulls Yeemik's belt pouch off and tosses it to Katherine. Inside she finds:
A key
3 gold teeth
15 sp

The master key unlocks both Grzak's collar and Sildar's manacles.
Yeemik recoils into a fetal position from Grzak's hit, sniveling and still eating dirt as Alarion holds him prone.
Grzak finds everything that was taken from him here.
Katherine catches Sildar Hallwinter as he is released from his chains.
"Thank you Lady." he sighs deeply. "I will reward you and your fellows. Let us get to safety first."
He stumbles and holds Katherine's arm to steady himself. He is badly wounded.
As this happens, other party members may do a search of this cave, figure out what to do with the hog-tied Yeemik, and whatnot.
