When the PCs return to the Caves they see a delegation of goblins and hobgoblins with a white flag. Hobgoblin Chieftainess Brunghilde and Goblin Chief Ranevi want to talk.
If PCs are mercenaries they want to hire the PCs to wipe out the Shrine of Evil Chaos. If PCs are adventurers they will negotiate a non-aggression treaty with the humans instead of paying the PCs.
Megalos is fine with the latter but wants to wipe out the other cave dwellers so that a Goblinoid-Human treaty applies to all the Caves. He gets the Goblinoids to put up collateral: a Wolpertinger Kit (flying rabbit).
Negotiation: 100 xp
Goblinoids provide info on the other caves:
D/E/F: Goblinoids and their allies
G: shunned cavern, no one who goes in ever returns
H: Bugbears
I: Minotaur, Bugbear ally
J: Gnolls, half follow the Cult of Evil Chaos
K: Shrine of Evil Chaos
With three Charms of Evil Chaos -- the PCs have the Kobold and Orc Charms, the Gnoll Charm is the third -- they can summon the demon lord in the Shrine of Evil Chaos
The PCs decide to clear out Cave G. Kit sends in his Enfield Pup who comes back and says there's a giant hooting bear (Owl Bear). Inside they fight off 5 giant rats then run into the Owl Bear, who only manages to swipe and hit once on Borin, doing 3 hp damage, before it dies. Myrbelle takes the Owl Bear head and hide.
Exploring the cavern further they come to a pool room at the opposite end in the pool is some shiny object. But there are two Gray Oozes. The one on the ceiling they have Johnny shoot dead. The one in the pool they lure closer then use Myrbelle's waterskins of drunkness and sleepyness to disable it long enough for Borin to wade in and come back with a Jewel Encrusted Goblet (1300 GP) with Protection from Undead (10m per day) which Borin will carry.
