(Every morning that Katherine awakes, the charms have reappeared, even if she pulled them off to cast them the day before. Yes, I just pictured it that way, so good that you ask, always open for clarification!)
Other than decimating the current 'nice' goblins, I think you've found as much as possible from inside this Cragmaw - I mean - Dargrath - Cave.
Sildar is waiting in the sun outside of the entrance. His clothes are wet from a dip in the stream, but the sun is bright, and he appears to be enjoying fresh air and sunshine with relish.
"There is Gundren though." Sildar closes his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. His head hangs and wavers from side to side.
He looks up. "If you can find the Castle where the goblin king is hiding out... if Gundren is in there... I don't know if he's a prisoner in that ruin of a castle, or a betrayer, or dead."
"I must get to Phandalin. I need to find a wizard named Iarno Albrek there."
"Phandalin sounds like a good place for starters." Kathrine agrees as she fiddles with the beeds on her bracelet. "We can decide after that how to go about rescuing your friend from this Cragmaw castle."
"Cringer think people no like Cringer in Phandalin." Cringer says with a frown to Sildar and then a glance to Kathrine. "Maybe Cringer wait outside town..."
"Cringer think people no like Cringer in Phandalin." Cringer says with a frown to Sildar and then a glance to Kathrine. "Maybe Cringer wait outside town..."
"Nonsense, Cringer. You are under our protection as long as you remain loyal to us. The townsfolk will have to accept you as much as they'll have to accept me."
"Yes, thank you for mentioning those stolen items Grzak. I will talk to someone in Phandalin and if these goblins prove true, and let us take back what was stolen from people... I will work towards accord."
Sildar clears his throat, "There may even be a reward if the goods are returned. I intend to reward you personally once I have access to my account in Phandalin."
”Here, this will be a symbol of stewardship for the caves. Wield it wisely.” Grzak says this with some ceremony but is unsure if Thinker gets it.
He then turns to Sildar and retrieves Klarg’s Morningstar from his belt, “This is for you. We can’t have you traveling without some form of defense. We could also go back in and find you a functioning short bow and arrows that are no longer being used.”
Cringer, well, cringes, when Grzak grins at him, not quite sure what to make of the act.
"Cringer do Grzak says Cringer need do be loyal." Cringer gives several bobs of his head, hoping to convey how much he will do this thing, whatever it is that Grzak needs or wants him to do in order to prove his loyalty.
The map that you have received from Yeemik includes a very large circle scribbled around a part of Neverwinter Wood. He has been kind enough to put a hand drawn arrow upon the page pointing to the general area.
Grzak reluctantly accepts the cosmic justice in how Yeemik will be handled. It’s not like he didn’t have his opportunity to exact revenge on his tormentor. Some force beyond himself kept him from ending Yeemik’s miserable existence. Why? Who knows. Grzak doesn’t understand a lot of things. Chalk up another thing that makes him go, “hmmm?”.

Sildar is waiting in the sun outside of the entrance. His clothes are wet from a dip in the stream, but the sun is bright, and he appears to be enjoying fresh air and sunshine with relish.
Sildar rises with alacrity upon seeing you emerge from the cave.
"MY friends, I am in your debt for rescuing me. I will not say that I am in favor of your lenience, but to be honest..." He sighs.
"There are worse evils in the world than to let some goblins go. Your compassion and wisdom is something I have not seen in a long time."
"I need to get to Phandalin. Will you accompany me?"
"There is Gundren though." Sildar closes his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. His head hangs and wavers from side to side.
He looks up. "If you can find the Castle where the goblin king is hiding out... if Gundren is in there... I don't know if he's a prisoner in that ruin of a castle, or a betrayer, or dead."

Grzak asks the group,
"There's a lot of what I assume are stolen supplies in Klarg's den. Are we going to leave those to the goblins?"

Grzak sends a grin towards Cringer.

Grzak will leave the humanoid bone to Thinker.
”Here, this will be a symbol of stewardship for the caves. Wield it wisely.” Grzak says this with some ceremony but is unsure if Thinker gets it.
He then turns to Sildar and retrieves Klarg’s Morningstar from his belt, “This is for you. We can’t have you traveling without some form of defense. We could also go back in and find you a functioning short bow and arrows that are no longer being used.”

Cringer, well, cringes, when Grzak grins at him, not quite sure what to make of the act.
"Cringer do Grzak says Cringer need do be loyal." Cringer gives several bobs of his head, hoping to convey how much he will do this thing, whatever it is that Grzak needs or wants him to do in order to prove his loyalty.
"You will be fine Cringer, we won't let anything happen to you, now that you are on the right path." Garbiel smiles clapping the goblin on the back.
(Just to double check we got the map to Cragmaw castle correct?)
Alarion comes out of the cave with the map. "What did I miss?"
(Assuming Yeemik gave Alarion a map happily)
The map that you have received from Yeemik includes a very large circle scribbled around a part of Neverwinter Wood. He has been kind enough to put a hand drawn arrow upon the page pointing to the general area.
'HEER' is crudely written beside the arrow
"Off to Phandalin then?" Kathrine asks.
"What is the plan for Yemmick, we just going to leave him chained up?" Gabriel asks Katherine, "is the Dargrath clan going to keep him jailed?"
"I say we leave his punishment to the clan," Alarion says.
"Agreed." Kathrine puts in. "They have more right than us to decide what to do with him."
Cringer nods his head, staying close to Kathrine's side.
