Two dwarves walk into the Prancing Pony, one wears ornate armor while the other has something that looks like an elf tunic on. The two walk through the room confidently and take a seat in the middle of the room.
"This place is in much better shape than the last bar we found," Vighar says.
"Aye," Gloin says "I do prefer having something above my head."
"We don't get that much in the mountains."
"Not unless we choose to fight our way into the goblin caves."
"I think it would be very unpleasant to spend any time in there," Vighar says.
"I can asure you it is. The tunnels seem to go on forever and the place stinks of the little monsters."
"I wonder if that's why the wargs can find us with such ease."
"We need to put more effort into killing the little beasts," Gloin says.
"We took out a few of them when we were dealing with the goblins but the pack seems to be enormous."
"From what we found in the messages we recovered the goblins rely heavily on the wargs. I think they are looking for a way of attacking the Rivendell valley. The wargs speed makes them far more useful as scouts than the goblins."
"It is lucky we have an ally that can read the Black Speech," Vighar says. "If not for Elrond's ability we'd have been surprised by the return of the great goblin."
"That was not the great goblin from the first time I was in those tunnels. I suspect we will continue to find the goblins under the command of one great goblin after another."
"It makes sense that the most powerful of the goblins would become the leader."
"We've certainly done what we can to kill some of the others that may rise to that rank," Gloin says.
"I was surprised by the number of goblins in chage of small things there are in the tunnels."
"I am the same. I didn't think goblins would have such a complicated system of leaders."
"We've certainly killed enough of the lesser leaders," Vighar says. "With so many of the goblin groups trying to find leaders for themselves they should be too busy to support a new Great Goblin."
"Our timing for sending adventurers to slay the Great Goblin was better than we could have hoped. Between our defeat of the lesser leaders and the adventurer killing the leader of the warg pack it will take them a great deal of time to find a new leader."
"We'll need to keep the elves advised of what happens in the tunnels. If the goblins want to find a way into the valley they'll have to put patrols on any path the goblins might find."
"I spoke with Elrond when we passed through Rivendell," Gloin says. "He has increased the patrols around his city."
"We will have to help to keep the number of wargs and goblins reduced so they are never in a place to attack."
"I can think of no one better to hold the goblins back than the dwarves of the Blue Mountains."
