Chapter 1A: The High Road
The backstabbing gnome has re-dressed in new goblin gear, bloody, and he's hidden his blades on himself, and allowed his hands to look to be bound up. "Use me as bait, trade me to the king, so I can get nice and close. Then... sigh...then I can shove a shiv in his spine while he's talking to Lorenzo." He is down cast and depressed, he looks the perfect defeated and captured goblin.

Arveene puts a finger up to her lips in thought. "Well, you certainly look the part... Alright, we'll lead with that, and see how far it gets us."
She turns around to head out of Klarg's den, and you think you hear a sigh of relief.
Goblin King's Chamber
When the group arrives, she cups a hand over her mouth at the sight of the human body.
"Is that Sildar?" she whispers.

Grogg plods along, looking around curiously. His wounds have mainly finished clotting up, although he will need some rest and healing to get back to actually feeling whole. He keeps quiet, letting the talkative types take the lead on this.

Cautiously, Arveene walks further in to examine the person lying on the ground and check for breathing and a heartbeat.

Chapter 1A: The High Road
Arveene slowly ascends the natural staircase to the upper escarpment. On the floor, she finds a weak and bruised Sildar Hallwinter -- the human sellsword companion of their dwarven employer. His hands are bound with rope behind his back and he appears to be semi-conscious and alive. The near fifty year old man looks as good as he can while keeping his dignity and stature, but having spent a couple days in the goblin den after being defeated and captured by the goblins has been a bit rough.
As Arveene approaches, his eyes open and he tries to lift himself off the ground into a sitting position but struggles with his hands being tied.
The goblins appear to have fled their hideout. There's no signs of anyone other than the companions and Sildar.

"Careful, hold on, let's just get you away from that ledge, there we go," Arveene says as she grabs the knight and scooches him away from the edge. She produces one of her daggers and cuts the ties that bind his hands, and his feet if those are also restrained.

Sildar nods to Arveene. With a coarse voice, he replies "Thank you." Moments later, Arveene has helped Sildar down to the chamber base floor.
The cavern appears empty and there's no sounds other than the running water falling into the two large pools and beginning to drain back through the center of the cavern and outside.

Your gnome sheds his disguise as soon as it clear there are no more goblins. "Figures I had to wear that outfit for no reason." He looks disgusted with the smell of the goblin clothing. Then he goes about searching the large chamber for riches, secret caches or doors, and anything else of interest for the little Scoundrel.

The gnome does some reconnaissance of the cave, sneaking around each corner and inspecting each room for any secret doors, treasure, or anything that catches his eyes.

"Part of my idea for confronting the rest of the raiders, but now they've fled," Arveene explains to the knight as the deep gnome sheds his disguise, resuming her genteel affectations. "How did this all happen?" she asks.
