The sound seems childish but off somehow. Once everything goes quite so does the whimpering.

As you move toward the source of the noise it is one of the 3 open burial niches. You spot behind a skeleton a small goblin. when he sees you spotted him he raises his hands in surrender.

He looks panicked and is a pitiful sight, He is dirty, wild eyed and panting hysterically. He wears battered and broken leather armor and reeks of fear and goblin bodily fluids.

The goblin stutters out, I am grub, please don't hurt me.

He looks back and forth and tries to move deeper into the niche but cannot. Hiding yes from many things, just want to leave. abandoned I was, the others left after battle. , you can see that he is starting to get worked up again and his words begin to resemble gibberish.

In this case it is probably best if one person rolls with assistance from others. To many people questioning him would overwhelm him.

Felskrudd speaking to Grub seems to calm him down and he stops hyperventilating. He begins to speak but qiuckly rambles out his story.

You will take me out when you go? Ok I will try to help. We were sent here by our Orc commanders to search this place for treasure. They wanted something they said was broken person or something. We wanted the treasure more so we said they could have it if we find it. Things were going well and we found some keys. Then This huge warrior in armor appeared. It walked straight through the portcullis. It had a skeleton face with empty eyes. It attacked us and we ended up scattering. At first we went back to the main chamber we came in and it seemed reluctant to enter so we began escaping up our rope. It finally did come in as we were almost done. I was left for last and ran and hid here. I figured I might be safe hiding in one of these niches that we opened looking for treasure.

I am not sure what caused it to leave but after some fighting it just left by passing through the portcullis.

Showing him the map he points toward the south west of the map by the area that looks like a mine opening. He says, Many of the orcs gathered here. They sent us out looking, Maladuk is gathering her forces. She is the one sending out scouts to find the broken pieces.

When you mention keys Grub looks down at his belt and grabs a set of three keys though one of then is broken. He then lifts them up to you. They are old style iron keys and look like they have been lying around for some time.
