Brevin keeps pace with Baril, heavy mace in hand. He keeps his eyes open, wondering where and when the next threat will present itself. He says a silent prayer to Litsi for luck.

OOC: Crud! Where did those three days go??
You press forward, moving down the short corridor. As you emerge from the corridor, you realize a few things.
First, you have quite obviously entered the goblins' common room. Looking left, you can see the other hallway's entrance into the room as well. The room is very large and has several tables and twenty or so chairs.
Second, these are the most well-appointed goblin quarters any of you (most especially Arkan) have ever seen. The place is clean, the floor is tiled rather than dirt, and the walls are whitewashed. There are several doors leading to either side of the room; glances into these reveal that they are probably where the goblins live. You suspect one likely leads to the kitchen and larder as well.
Third, the few goblins that remain are, in a nutshell, rather scared.
The oldest one seems to be leading the group. He's wearing the vestments of a cleric of Mossus (Brevin and anyone else with at least a rank in Knowledge(religion) will notice this, but the rest of you can tell they're some sort of clerical garb). There are three relatively young goblins near him, each shakily holding a crossbow, though none of the crossbows is raised.
The other seven goblins in the room are women and children. They're huddling as far away from you as they can get.
The cleric speaks, in halting Common. "Please... do not hurt us. We just want left... alone. Our leader, he... speak with you." He points toward a third exit , which is directly across the room from the corridor you've come down, about sixty feet away.

There's already been enough bloodshed and it seems we can avoid further hostilities with some delicate wording. Get the gem and get out, quite simple, eh? Baril old boy, calmly now, you must be convincing ...and I always am...
Before anyone else has time to react, Baril lowers his shortbow and steps forward. "No need to worry, servant of Mossus, we are not here to destroy your people. The reason for our 'visit' is our own, and like you wisely suggested, it is best, that we discuss this with your leader. We will leave you be, but there must not be any more interference from your part, either."

Not having ever been in a goblin cave before, Grunlor doesn't have any frame of reference, though it does seem a bit odd that they live so well.
(OOC: Grunlor has +1 on Knowlege(religion). I'm guessing Mossus is a goblin cleric, but can get a roll to see if I know who it is?)
Unless he can figure out more about what's going on, he follows along, waiting to get a lay of the land.

Sam: There are no gods specific to any of the races in this universe; the individual races all worship the same pantheon. Grunlor knows that Mossus is the god of Time, and also considered the father of all the gods. He is associated with the largest of the planets. He is also associated with historians, bards, knowledge and magic.

Grinder grumbles silently about the situation. He's not too keen on leaving any goblin alive for any reason, particularly in a touchy situation.
Rather than speak up, however, he keeps to himself. His crossbow is held ready, though not pointing directly at any particular goblin. As Grinder's one of the few who can speak goblin, he listens carefully for any side conversation coming from the goblins that might indicate a betrayal.
