Ah, @ravenvii, what is our move - and/or action - sequence? And where do we each stand vis.a.vis Warhim and his colleague?
Let me attempt a medical check, - as we have some slight skill in medical intervention - and then, let Ser Bartholomeus do so.
To the goblin in fluent, mellifluous Goblindegook, a challenging, at times, a bloody awful language, to be frank, lacking the nuances to debate philosophical treatises and devoid of even the most basic and crudest attempt at romantic literature: "My honourable and esteemed friend, Chief-Elect, Warhim, it appears that your recollection of recent events is somewhat faulty, but that can be attributed to the stress and strain of battle.
Klarg did not die by your hand alone.
Indeed, I believe that the death of Klarg was brought about by a combined effort. We helped you kill Klarg, and while gratitude may be an emotion that is considered redundant in Goblin Culture, self interest may supply sufficient motivation for us to be able to resolve this matter together to our mutual benefit.
Now. You have seen for yourself that alliance with us can yield dividends. Handsome ones. Perhaps, even profitable ones.
We can work together, or, we can work separately, or - and I would regret this, if our partnership were to dissolve so precipitately - we can work against one another.
Know this: We need to heal, or attend to our friend, who took wounds while assisting you in trying to remove Klarg from office. From life, if truth be told.
We shall not leave until we have examined what lies in what has been described, perhaps in a picaresque way, with a brutal and crude eloquence, as 'loot'. Naturally, we will divide it with you.
But, to leave it without examining it, and - at the very least - retrieving what is rightfully ours - such as that which was looted from our party originally - is not something which we will countenance."
I then rapidly translate what I have just said for the benefit of the rest of our party.
