After exploring the initial few chambers the party found 5 different options for next direction. To the east was the sound of digging. To the southwest stairs lead down to the smell of decay and moist rot. To the north 3 doors led different directions. North and West being linked by runnels of blood and the north having excited sounds of preparation possibly for a feast as they were stoking the fires and getting ready for Splug. The party secured the northern and western doors using some rope and ingenuity and proceeded to examine the other door which was solid metal of better quality than they had seen elsewhere in the keep.
This north eastern passage had the sound of dice rolling and the party picked that direction to explore kicking open the door and charging in to waste the guards playing dice. But the door opened into a long passageway and while the sounds of them kicking open the door echoed through the complex the guards were still out of view. The party charged down the hallway losing much or the element of surprise before coming face to face with the surprised guardsmen. Teh small guardroom had numerous tapestries and goblins started boiling out from behind the tapestries leading Eddie to burn the tapestries down to clear line of sight revealing a large door in the middle of a hallway from behind which a gloating smug sound of the goblin king came "Ahahaha, you think you can challenge me in my own den? Eat crossbow sniveling human scum" A heated battle then took place. Kyloren used their dragon breath and Eddie laid down suppressing fire. But Eddie and Lindal were the targets of the goblin king who was a terror with a crossbow given the group could not tell who he was targeting or when he would fire. Freya held the center of the room but was swarmed by all sides by goblins. While no one goblin hit her as hard the nicks and scratches quickly added up as Freya was beset from all sides. The group used healing potions and magic to sustain themselves in the face of a fierce onslaught and soon slaughtered the goblins only to find the goblin king had fled using a secret passage leaving his trusted "Doorbearers" behind. The party followed the king only to find that they were near the goblin dig site behind a door they had blocked earlier using the bodies of goblin warriors form the first room.
Sneaking past the excavation the group chased the goblin king through a series of caves where he had distracted some rats using food. The party was attacked by the hungry rats and the the fight attracted the attention of an Ochre jelly which spit in two with a mighty blow of Freya's magic warhammer. Soon the rats and jelly were destroyed but the trail of the Goblin king had gone cold.
