Big Goblin; Grapmak Swiftaxe
-This goblin was found with three others playing a card game. He said little as the party passed through, but when they returned with Granch's head, he was the first to shout the loudest. He accused the group of being necromancers, revealing that they were not aware that their leader was undead. Gnogglebolt quickly tried to straigten this misconception out, and asked them for the last time they had actually seen their leader. After conversing with the other two, they said that the last time they saw him was two days ago, when he shut himself up in is room. Then, after explaining about Nintrok and Dosemz, Gnogglebolt finally pushed the big question of getting them to come quietly. The others looked to him, and he nodded, accompanying the group to the room before the pit. Gnogglebolt heard his name as "Grapmak" after Dosemz was captured and shouted at him. Grapmak seems to have defaulted as the de facto leader of the goblins, actually helping Gnogglebolt by reinforcing his requests/commands, and was taken to the surface without incident. Marched to Castleton and dropped off at the courthouse without incident. Druing the dropoff, he was asked by Gnogglebolt to return with them to the cave and convince the remaining goblins to surrender without a fight, but he declined, citing that he didn't have much control over these goblins and that he should stay with his own. When Gnogglebolt returned with Drit and Slat in tow, Grapmak was found to be separated from the others. The guard said it was because there was a little trouble, and he was also singled out as the "leader". When question,ed Grapmak said he was trying to keep Dosemz from hurting Reelo. When he saw Drit, he started aking odd gestures towards Drit. Once drit was placed in a cell and his bindings taken off, Grapmak started choking when Drit made gestures back at Grapmak. Grapmak recovered, and insisted he was just talking to Drit. Gnogglebolt attempted to question him further, but he was reticient and did not say much else. This had Gnogglebolt worried, but he left Grapmak and the others on trust that they aren't going to do something stupid. Fortunately, all seemed well when Gnogglebolt returned.

Second-Cave Goblin; Scrant
-This goblin was the first encountered. The group was arguing amongst themselves inside the second cave when Sszeyl was struck by this goblin's javelin. Sszeyl immediately knocked the goblin unconscious with a single strike, a humorously effective 'boot to the head'. The goblin was bound and taken to Terri to be watched. Seemed to cause no trouble when awoken, volunteered to carry Schink on the stretcher. Carried Schink to Castleton without incident. Party does not yet know his name.

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin; Reelo
-This goblin was encountered at the entrance of the third cave. He immediately shouted "intruder" and was trying to raise an alarm (only Gnogglebolt could understand this), and seemed deaf to Gnogglebolt's pleas to talk. He ran off down a hall and was chased by Derish and Sszeyl. He wielded a morning-star, and used it to deal a glancing blow to Derish. He was then incapacitated by Sszeyl, with another humorously effective non-leathal attack; a pimpslap. When Gnogglebolt, Elros, and Trofim caught up, he was already unconscious. After the other two goblins surrendered, all three were bound and brought to Terri. When awoken, freaked out and had to be calmed down by Gnogglebolt, during which Gnogglebolt learned his name. Marched to Castleton and dropped off at the courthouse without incident.

Loud Goblin; Brap
-This goblin was encountered in a room on the top level of the hideout with Rupp when Reelo retreated to them. He was the least incompetent of the three, able to cast a net over Derish, and evade several attacks by Sszeyl, even dealing a glancing blow to the Drow. By the time Gnogglebolt, Elros, and Trofim arrived, he was totally cornered and surrounded, and quickly surrendered, surprising Rupp. Gnogglebolt then tried to negotiate with him and Rupp. Brap was mostly disagreeable until Rupp, who he said was his brother, agreed to give in quietly. Gnogglebolt knows his name because Rupp referred to him by his name. He, his brother, and Reelo were bound and brought to Terri. Once outside, he and Rupp were questioned by Gnogglebolt about what else could be expected within the hideout, such as where they kept their supplies, how many goblins were left, and how to recognize Granch Redmaw. Brap was mostly quiet, though he spoke up energetically to describe Redmaw, as being "big", having "red teeth" and a "blue nose". When the party returned outside, he was found to be sat on by Papa because he apparently tried to escape, and Gnogglebolt took care of the situation. Marched to Castleton and dropped off at the courthouse without incident.

Droopy-Eared Goblin; Rupp
-This goblin was encountered with Brap. He was the smartest of the three, attacking Sszeyl from a range with a javelin, and retreating quickly once Derish was free of his brother's net. By the time Gnogglebolt, Elros, and Trofim caught up there, his brother Brap was cornered. When Brap surrendered, he seemed very shocked, but quickly fell in line. When Gnogglebolt was negotiating with the two goblins, Rupp was the more agreeable of the two, though he seemed to feel it was all inevitable anyway, frequently citing "Maglubiyet's will". When he agreed to behave, his brother fell in line. He was bound and brought to Terri with his brother and Reelo. Once outside, he and Brap were questioned by Gnogglebolt. Rupp was cooperative enough, telling where the storeroom was and saying that the number of goblins in the hideout fluctuated. He also mentioned "robed ones" who handle transactions of the gang. He fell quiet and let Brap do the talking when asked about Redmaw. Disappointed in his brother about his own excape attempt. Marched to Castleton and dropped off at the courthouse without incident. His name has not yet been stated.

Sick Goblin; Schink
-This goblin was found in a sideroom on a bed of staw with Nintrok, coughing and looking in very bad shape. While Sszel and Elros conversed with Nintrok, Gnogglebolt had Trofim take a look at the goblin. It was discovered he is suffering from advanced stages of filth fever, and his arm is rotting. Trofim reported that he could last for maybe two more days--if the arm is removed. The party left him there, Gnogglebolt planned to retrieve him last. Trofim and Gnogglebolt returned with Dosemz to collect him and Nintrok, during which Gnogglebolt learned his name and offered to make a stretcher for him, and Trofim did his best to heal some of him. By the time he was taken to the surface, Gnogglebolt had completed the stretcher and Nintrok and Scrant are carrying him. Successfully taken to Castleton and dropped off at the courthose, with Gnogglebolt making sure he got medical attention. Later on, Gnogglebolt checked up on the goblins and learned he was transferred to the Temple of Pelor. Later still, Gnogglebolt managed to check on him there. He seemed to be stable, but his arm did have to be removed. Gnogglebolt explained the situation to the goblin as tactfully as possible, and left him in the care of the temple preists.

Robed Goblin; Nintrok
-This goblin was found in a sideroom with the sick goblin. He had a converrsation with Sszeyl and Elros in Undercommon, who informed the group that he apparently thought they were customers. Sszeyl and Derish then left the room, and Nintrok mumbled something in Goblin, to which Gnogglebolt was able to reply, and leave the room with Trofim and Elros. Nintrok followed them, showing them through the "poker room" with four other goblins and to a door that led to earthen caves and Granch Redmaw's lair. He has not been seen since, presumed to be back in the room with the sick goblin. When Gnogglebolt was negotiating with the card-game goblins, they referred to him as a "prophet" and that he works under Dosemz, the second robed one. When Gnogglebolt and Trofim returned to him with Dosemz, Dosemz told him to give up quietly, to which he aquieced. He returned to the surface without incident, and helped carry Schink with Scrant, and arrived at Castleton without incident. Later on, he volunteered for the job of helping lure the supposed necromancers on behalf of the tribe.

Female Snaggletoothed Goblin; Irch
-This goblin was found with three others playing a card game. She didn't say much as the party passed through to meet Granch, though she did stand up in shock when they presented Granch's skull. In the conversation afterwards, she did answer a few questions of Gnogglebolt's, and Gnogglebolt understood when one of the others referred to her as Irch. When they surrendered and it was time to move out, she carried most of the drunk goblin. She seems to have been quiet since being taken to the surface. Marched to Castleton and dropped off at the courthouse without incident.

Sharp-Nosed Goblin; Dirk
-This goblin was found with three others playing a card game. He never said much, not while the party was passing through, and not after they returned with Granch's skull, though he did stand up in shock with the other two still-conscious ones, though he did seem to express some annoyance with Dosemz. He surrendered with the others, and followed them to the room before the pit to ascend to the upper level. He seems to have been quiet since beng taken to the surface. Marched to Castleton and dropped off at the courthouse without incident. Party does not know his name.

Bleary-Eyed Drunk Goblin; Crang
-This goblin was found among three others at a table playing poker. He was drunk off his rear and said little, although he did laugh uproariously at Derish hitting his head on the low doorway into the room. After the party left, defeated Redmaw, and returned, he was fully unconscious. The other goblins took up the work of carrying him themselves after they surrendered. Seems to be consious and docile up on the surface. Marched to Castleton and dropped off at the courthouse without incident. Party does not yet know his name.

Robed Goblin; Dosemz
-This goblin was referred to as often locking himself in the storeroom, which was indeed where he was found when Gnogglebolt and Elros went to investigate to find more rope. As Gnogglebolt was disassembling the lock on the door, he yelled words to the effect of "Go away, Drit!", with Gnogglebolt pushing the door open then and revealing himself. Gnogglebolt attempted to engage in dialogue, and while Dosemz demonstrated the ability to speak Common, he cast some kind of mind-affecting spell on Gnogglebolt, causing him to leave the room as Trofim peeked in. Gnogglebolt collected himself and returned, having Elros show Dosemz Granch's skull and stating the surrender terms, to which Dosemz laughed in a manaical fashion. He then appeared to call for some unseen lackeys to take on Gnogglebolt, Elros, and Trofim, but Trofim was quicker, casting his own mind-affecting spell and forcing Dosemz to lie down on the ground, to which Elros pinned him while Gnogglebolt retrieved rope to tie him up. He was then brought to the room before the pit with everyone else. After that, Gnogglebolt convinced him to talk to Nintrok into coming quietly on his own. He seemed to be okay, but attempted escape once on the surface, and Gnogglebolt has retracted the leniency deal. He was in the custody of Trofim for the march to Castleton, but upon arrival, Trofim attepted to abscond with him, but was stopped by Barshal and the Castleton guards. After that, he was successfully dropped off at the courthouse. When Gnogglebolt returned later with Drit and Slat, Dosemz was found in a separate cell. The guard said he was "a biter", but when Gnogglebolt tried to talk to him, he refused to say anything.

Scout Goblin; Drit
-This goblin has not yet been seen. His name was first mentioned by Dosemz when Gnogglebolt first confronted him. Later, his name was mentioned again during a conversation with Reelo, and it was explained he is the goblin's scout. It was later revealed that the captured masked goblin was Drit.

Nine-Fingered Goblin, Slat
-This goblin was spotted by Gnogglebolt in the cage room on one last sweep of the cave before leaving. After asking Dosemz about it, Dosemz said any goblins in this room likely answered to Drit. He was left there when Dosemz said there could be up to five goblins in that room. When the party returned, they had a noisy scuffle with a skeleton outside of the cage room before entering it, and found it seemingly empty. Shortly after entering the room, he jumped down from on top of a cage and attacked the party, but was quickly dropped. After the fight was over, he was tied up and eventually taken to the surface to be guarded by Terri. He woke up cursing just as the party was about to march to Castleton. Gnogglebotl explained the situation to him, but initially, both he and the masked goblin refused to budge, provoking further attemps on Gnogglebolt's part to secure their cooperation. The goblin then seemed to translate for the masked goblin, who only made whistling and clicking sounds, and revealed that the masked goblin was in fact Drit, while his own name was Slat. Gnogglebolt eventaully managed to convice both to cooperate. During the march to Castleton, Gnogglebolt conversed extensively with Slat and Drit, with Slat also acting as the translator for Drit the whole time. At one point, Slat was angry with Drit when Drit revealed he knew about the necromancy part of the gang's supply operation while Slat did not, and it took several quick and careful words from Gnogglebolt to calm him down. He was relatively calm the rest of the journey. When the group arrived at Castleton, he was deposited at the courthouse temporary holding area with Drit. Later on, in lieu of better ideas, Gnogglebolt asked him to come along with Nintrok in setting a trap for the necromancers.

Masked Goblin; Drit
-This goblin was not seen until he joined the nine-fingered goblin in the ambush of the party. He managed to knife Sszeyl in the back, dropping Sszeyl instantly. After Sszeyl was healed by Barshal, Sszeyl grabbed an empty cage and slammed the goblin with it, knocking him across the room and dropping him. He was heavily injured, but was taken care of by Barshal (fortunately, Gnogglebolt convinced him to do that instead of killing them). He and the nine-fingered goblin were ied up and taken to the surface to be watched by Terri. During one of the times Gnogglebolt was checking on them, it was discovered he was only pretending to be unconcious. Gnogglebolt made a small speech to him about his situation, but he was silent. Later on, when the group was getting ready to move out, he and the nine-fingered goblin initially refused to move. When Gnogglebolt further attempted dialogue, he started making odd whistling and clicking noises. At first, it was thought that he was signalling to someone, but it turned out it was his way of speaking, and the other goblin Translated. During this time, it was revealed he was Drit all along, and the name of the other goblin was Slat. Gnogglebolt eventually conviced both to cooperate. During the march, Gnogglebolt conversed extensively with Drit and Slat, while Slat translated for Drit the whole time. Drit told the story of how he lost his voice and thus why he wears a mask. He also gave extensive details on the "supply" operation the gang was running. Upon arrive in Castleton, he was taken to the courthouse temporary holding area with Slat, but then went through an unusual circus with Grapmak. Grapmak made a series of strange gestures to Drit, and when Drit was out in a cell and his bindings taken off, he made a series of gestures to Grapmak, who started choking. Everyone suspected magic, but Grapmak insisted he was fine, and Drit was silent from then on.
