The party heads back down the corridor and the moist heat drops off. You enter the large open cavern with stalactites and stalagmites. Passing the cart and the limp form of the dead man you go past the ropes leading to the goblin's upper chambers and head to a passage that slopes up sharply. Noni puts his bow away and grasps the guide rope on the side of the passageto steady himself as he takes the lead heading up the steep incline. Tur, Cursed, and Jeanpierre follow.
After pulling yourselves up the long ascent the passage continues down a ways. "Don't take the side passage, and be prepared. There is a shrieking . . . thing . . . in there that reacts to movement and light. It is some kind of cavern plant."

Once past the side tunnel you quickly come to a room that was obviously the scene of a recent battle. Overturned tables, benches, and dead goblins litter the floor. There is a cookpot in the corner and a side passage leading out of the eating chamber. Cursed points with a bandaged arm that way as Tur and Noni start setting up a little defensive wall in the corner using the tables and benches.
Cursed says "That's a store room off there. A giant weasel in there got a piece of me before Tur was able to pry it off and we got it. There are goblin foodstuffs and there was scrabbling noises from a barrel in there but we left that one alone. The weasel had a burrow tunnel in one of the walls there."
Tur, Noni, and Cursed then start speaking to each other in a growling, barking tongue with a few yips thrown in, and Cursed summarizes for Jeanpierre. "We each have taken wounds that we are worried are unclean. We came to kill two goblin brothers here and recover a dangerous book they had stolen. Danger lies is looking at the Book's runes. I was going to pick it up and carry it." He gestures with an amused smile to his blank eye spots. "We got one goblin, the summoner who captured you. We believe the other is down past that charnel room of ooze filled dead with the Book. However with the state of the goblins here and the slimy dead we think we are at risk from the foul bites we've taken. We think our village's druid, Zallon, is our best bet to not succumb to the foulness here. This place has a cursed feel to it and I think we are at risk the longer we stay here. The wounds do not feel clean. "

"Will you join us in heading back to our village?" Cursed asks. "Our king is most welcoming of newcomers and it is a safe haven for those seeds who arrive from elsewhere. Most of the land is full of predators and quite dangerous, and we are in goblin territory right now. Half of them want peaceful trade with us and the elves, but half want to kill or enslave all outsiders." He smiles "And none of them can tell stories as good as the dover or provide as friendly a meadhall as the Belly."
