Kriv

He looks down at the pathetic wretch, disdain and disgust etched in the dragonscale of his face.

"I make you no promises, because I want the truth. Who sent you? Who told you to ambush here? What happened to the people who were on those horses?"

He binds his hand thoughtfully as he continues to sing.

Karok with Jaliera

"Come away from there lass. Just keep moving and your stomach will settle. Ye did well when it counted." he said consolingly.

"It seems the demon lass found Gundren's horse."

[ooc: It seems she do some healing on her own when we take a moment to rest]

"Kkarg send we. He told by Cragmaw bigs. Dwarf come. Stop he. Orders only I do. No say no to Klarg. If do is dead. Taken to hideout be they."

The fear in the goblin is clear and evident. It does appear he is telling the truth.

Kriv

Implacably, the Dragonborn pressed on with his questioning: Gundren Rockspeaker alive but a prisoner put a whole new perspective on the whole endeavour.

"Where, exactly, is this hideout? How far from here, in which direction? How many people obey Klarg? What are the Cragmaw Bigs?"

"Gundren? Is he OK? What happened?"

She is recovering quickly, especially at Karok said she had done well. She wants to play her part.. and to earn her money.

"Perhaps you could pull the arrow out?"

She gestures to her left shoulder.

"Hideout there way. No far. Klarg many ...one...two...seven..." then he counts silently and says proudly in conclusion, "fourteeth three!".

Kriv

He bared his fangs, and leaned in closer.

"I think you're smarter than that, goblin. You can follow orders, you know how to spring a good ambush. You know where it is. You know how to get there. And you know how to tell others to get there. You are trying to hide the truth from me, and that is a very bad thing, for you.

Klarg is not here. He can not hurt you or kill you for saying where the hideout is. I am here. I can hurt you or kill you if you do not say how to get to the hideout. Put it in simple words. Like to a goblin from far away who wants to serve Klarg but does not know how to get to him. How do we get to the hideout? Short words. Clear words. Many words. Now."

Kallista

Wandering over to where the Goblin is being interrogated by Kriv, she suggests, "Maybe we should make him show us? After all he could give us directions to another ambush and we'd never know for sure."

He looked up into the face of Despair and queried,

"Another ambush? Seems unlikely. If his life depended on him leading us true, he would hardly throw it away so foolishly."

"Of course lass, but be ready, tis going to hurt."

He took off his gauntlets and had her sit down. He took out his kit and did what he needed to get the arrow out, without causing further damage.

He follows slightly behind Kallista to where the goblin is being questioned by Kriv. Leaning on his staff for support he quietly listens to the goblins answers.

"That was what I meant. Let's make him show us the way so he shares in whatever fate he leads us to, rather than have him tell us the way and not know where he may be sending us."

Jaliera

Her face is a little pale but she takes a deep breath and braces herself, gritting her teeth and hoping she doesn't scream. There is a determination in her eyes as she nods to Karok to go ahead, her hands gripping tightly to the wagon.

Kriv

He gave in to Despair, nodding acceptance.

"I was thinking more on the improbability of there being another ambush to lead us into: If these little wretches were better shots then it is fully possible we could all be dead. What purpose would another ambush serve when this one has claimed all the spoils? Nonetheless, your point has merit, though he'll need watching, and we may need to impair his ability to cause trouble, perhaps by selective amputation."

Karok

He had the look of a warrior but Jaliera found that he had a surprisingly gentle touch. This was clearly not the first time he'd done this. If needed, he made the opening a bit larger to keep the skin from ripping and he eased the arrow out of her, quickly pressing a bandage to her skin.

"I see nothing major damaged. You've lost blood. We'll keep this on you to keep ye from losing more."

He then looks at his own injury and does the same for himself. Fortunately, he'd not been shot in a place he couldn't reach or see.

[ooc: If we don't take a short rest, then he'll cast the heal, but I think everyone took wounds.]

Despair

She nods. "As long as it is his arms we amputate and not his legs. I don't feel like taking a turn carrying him."

She moves to stand in front of the Goblin and smiles a toothy smile. "I think he will give second and third thoughts to betraying us, won't you", she says, and as she does her eyes begin to glow a deep and burning red and the earth under the Goblin shakes as if with a minor earthquake.

"Now, who are these Cragmaw 'bigs' you mentioned and where are they at?"

(OOC - Nep - Thaumaturgy)

There is pain but it is less than she expected and the worst is over fairly quickly. She smiles at Karok.

"I appreciate your help, thank you. This.. this is the first time I've ever killed a creature."

She feels the need to explain her earlier behaviour.

Gurgle
The goblin spills what he knows and that's not much. There is a hideout, the goblin lair, not far from here. A path in the woods will lead you there. You learn that there are traps on the trail, meant to capture would-be infiltrators, like yourselves. From what you can gather, the Cragmaw bigs refers to the leaders of the Cragmaw goblin clan. You cannot get good information about where those leaders are. You gather that there are about a dozen or so goblins at the hideout.

"I guessed that be the case. No shame in that lass. It takes a while to become numb to it. War will do that quicker." he said as if he knew all too well.

"Come on, let's go find out what the others found out." he said offering her his hand to help her stand.

"I don't think I want to become numb to it. But yes, I think I am ready to move now, thanks again."

She smiles at Karok and accepts his hand to get her to her feet, offering her right hand as would be natural for her but it also preserves her shoulder. She walks with Karok to where the others are standing.

"Did we find out anything about Gundren's fate?"

He finally stops singing, because it looks like the goblinoid might be spared. However, he's not entirely sure how the creature will walk with its legs smashed in.

Surveying the scene, he sees the party recouping, the Magic of the Multiverse providing healing but the goodness in people providing the succor.

He shrugs and unstoppers the wine flagon for refreshments.

As Karok and Jaliera approach, he turns to them and nods.

"The vermin has been forthcoming. We know where Gundren and Sildar are and that they lived when last they were seen, we know how to get there, and we know on whose authority they were taken."

He took a few moments to relay all the details the Goblin had provided.

"I believe he has told us everything of value. We have a couple of options: Use him as a guide on the path, or give him Mercy, as he is unable to walk. Feel free to make any additional inquiries."

Stepping a little closer to the goblin he asks, "Gurgle. The path to hideout big enough for wagon?"

If it is not, then that will more than likely answer whether or nor Gurgle is going with them, as he doubts any of them will be wanting to carry the injured goblin.
