Labraundos calls out, "I want the bones of one of your victims, gathered with reverence from the cave first."
He sounds vaguely disappointed.
"I'd be happier cooking his goose for him," he mutters in Lenyara's ear.
The Boss replies,
"Since you killed the bugs, that won't be a problem. I'll have one of my lackeys collect the bones." He then calls an idle kobold over, gathers a description of the goliath skeleton from Labraundos, and sends the kobold off. In the meantime, the Boss disappears for a few minutes to gather the promised treasure. As Lenyara instructed, everyone in the party except her heads toward the entrance. The party passes by several more kobolds on the way, but none of them make any aggressive actions. On the contrary, most of them scatter in fear upon seeing the heroes. The group finally steps out of the cave and back into the surface world. It is dark out, the party having spent all afternoon underground.
The kobold underling returns after a few tense minutes with the bones gathered in a large sack and hands them over to Lenyara. When the boss returns, he has a sack that jingles with coin and treasure. He also gives his sack to Lenyara.
"Well then, this is yours. Since our business is done, you can leave now."
Though half-expecting a betrayal, Lenyara also makes it to the outside without any trouble. The party is reunited in front of the cave entrance, their job finished. All that's left is the return trip to Daunton.

GM: | The party can find their way back to the beach and take the kobolds' boat to Daunton. Or, if you don't want to risk the passage in that canoe a second time, you can walk to Bacarte and travel from there.
That's a wrap! Thanks for playing everyone. I hope you enjoyed the game! | |
