The lone goblin is a bit too groggy to be of much use, at least for the moment.
Across the bridge, the group finds one final chamber, apparently the living den of the main goblin group. It is now vacant, save for a sole occupant.
This large cave is divided in half by a ten-foot-high escarpment. A steep natural staircase leads from the lower portion to the upper ledge. The air is hazy with the smoke of a cooking fire, and pungent from the smell of poorly cured hides and unwashed goblins.
Securely bound on the southern ledge lies a man, Sildar Hallwinter, traveling companion and friend of Gundren Rockseeker. The nearly 50 year old man is beaten and bloody, but alive.
