Skeeve replies to the goblins,
"OK, let me see what we want to do."
He takes a step back and says quietly to the group,
"Are we willing to spend 100gp to walk into a potential trap, or do we just wanna go check out the other one? There would appear to be a LOT of goblins here running the place. If they can have 8 at this gate, they probably have 8 at every gate. Plus what they have inside. We have no guarantee that the 'invite' will actually be legitimate when we get inside. On the other hand, the chance for intel on other factions is absolutely tremendous. If there is really a diverse clientele running through here, we could have the chance to learn a tremendous amount."
He will then tell Blornvind and Ealdwig to remove and hide their Manor pins if they still have them on. He will do the same.
OOC:
The next location Skeeve is referring to is the Remnant to the south of this one. He had no intention to go exploring an Orc controlled castle, or Remnants that are controlled by hobgoblins. Neither seems like a good plan to him.
