Ausk will watch quietly, letting others try actual diplomacy before scaring the crap out of this one.

Garnet checks the goblin's bonds, then nods to Maia to begin. Not wanting to dissuade the innocent healer, she waits until the spell is begun before surreptitiously drawing her axe.
She looks expectantly as Ausk. Clearly she has no intention of engaging in diplomacy.
OOC: Probably best if Ausk just fires away, unless he wants to give Maia a chance first. I see them as doing a pretty striking, "Good cop, bad cop" routine.

With Garnet's cue, Ausk takes up a position behind Maia with flail in hand, and a wide grin on his face.

Heinrich looks and finds a candle. he waits for the goblin to be awakened from his sweet dreams. While waiting he runs his fingers slowly over the flames (Fire resistance 5). His fingers are close enough that anyone else would burn, but his supremacy over fire is such that the small flame does not exist.

Pari quickly catches on to the others' game and sets himself and his tiger up at just enough distance to give the gobbo a little 'wiggle room.'

Maia scoots closer to the goblin and sings her song of renewal, a burst of celestial fire paradoxically burning the wound away so it seemed to have never been so bad in the first place. When the creature opens his eyes, the first thing he sees is the radiant, golden-haired beauty of Maia beaming beneficently down upon him like some fairy godmother from a storybook. Her eyes are wide with wonder and pride, and her grin is ear to ear as she excitedly looks back and claims, "He's alive!"
Then the goblin saw who...or WHAT...was behind her. A looming, massive half-orc with bulging thews, mighty weapon, and countenance that was FAR less comely, and managed to convey as much urge to kill as Maia's grin conveyed simple, innocent joy.
Oh, and there was a tiger. A big one. Held ominously near.
Completely oblivious to the goblins sudden and gripping distress, Maia looked back at him and said pleasantly, "Hello, and welcome back. I'm Maia. Hello. And even though I think normally they'd have left you to die, you were very lucky, because my friends and I really REALLY want to know what you know about something very important. Okay? So...just to make things fun, we're going to make a game of it." She beamed at the goblin, very pleased with this idea. "First I'll ask a question. And if you don't answer it, then Ausk..." she pointed a thumb back over her shoulder at the thunderously dangerous looking half orf behind her. "...then he'll ask it. And then if you're still being stubborn...well then Tagawai will ask." She nodded at the tiger, which snarled at the goblin, then burst into giggles. "The last one's kind of a joke, because obviously tigers don't talk. You know, except to bite and shred whatever makes them mad." She grinned and shook her head at the nuttiness of such tomfoolery.
The utter lack of irony or threat in her tone somehow only made it all worse.
"All right. So first question. What were you guys going to do with the sword?"

The goblin's eyes flutter open and he begins muttering and yammering in the guttural language of theirs and at first appears to ignore Maia completely. He looks around and begins to understand the situation and lays his head back down and closes his eyes again.
You get the distinct impression that he might think this is all a bad dream and he is waiting for you to disappear.
After a moment one eye opens again and now the denial is gone and he is paying attention once Maia starts explaining things.
The goblin looks to the scary half-orc, the tiger and then back to the nonthreatening woman.
"Ok den. We sold da sword ta da winged devil. Arzethel tooked us ta get gold fur it. Dey had ta pay. Tribe no get da gold yet. Ya no paid us eetha."
Something in the goblin's expression makes Maia believe that he actually expects her to pay for the sword they delivered to Narissa.

"Wait," Maia said with a confused frown. "You sold the sword to her? You mean Narissa, right? Wings, girl, not a lot of clothes? You sold the sword to her?"
"But...then why did you give her the sword before you got the gold? That isn't how I understand these exchanges work. It all happens quickly, in one go."

The goblin appears to mull that conundrum over for a few moments.
Since the woman is not beating him, he shrugs and answers,
"Da sword gived ta da Githyanker and da gold ta be got... taday?.. Now is taday, ya? Da chief said da winged devil pay him. No gave gold ta Bronk and da warryers dat kilt da stupid pally."
"Only chief git da gold. Gud ting, Bronk ded."
