There are more goblins - the whole tribe - waiting in caves to the north, starting to prepare defences. The boss is a fierce human clad in black armour who is cruel and hurts goblins for fun. He calls himself Fellgrim Onehand. He has a sword that talks to him and tells him what to do. All the goblins are afraid of the sword even more than they are afraid of the man. It killed their old leader who was called Y'rk and made them all come to this place. They came up a long, winding staircase from their old home and they can't go back because the sword won't let them."I see," said Rylnethaz after BoldItalic had relayed all this. "Clearly, I am destined to battle the black knight and wrest the sword from him. If the sword is evil or cannot be bent to my will, we must find a way to destroy it. Tell this goblin that we will spare his life if he will lead us to the caves and call on his tribe to let us through. We have no quarrel with them. If they will aid me in defeating the evil knight by doing this, I will break the power that the sword has over them and they can all return down the staircase to their home. I will give this goblin a purse of gold to share with his tribe, or not, as he chooses, if he can persuade his friends to step aside while I fight the evil man called Fellgrim Onehand."This was relayed to the goblin who looked both frightened and hopeful at the same time. He spun on his heels and ran off, following a hardly-visible trail northwards. He might have been lost to sight except that he deliberately made a lot of noise and left plenty of scuffed footprints in the dust so that he would be easy to follow. The four heroes kept pace with him, but lagged a little behind to see what transpired.After about a mile, a rocky escarpment came in sight that was barren but for a few stunted, gnarled trees and some patches of grey-green moss. The goblin ran behind an outcrop and into a hidden cave mouth, shouting as he ran. From somewhere inside, there came answering shouts and the sounds of something heavy being moved. Then all was quiet."What's the plan?" asked Fingers.</blockquote>
