* The party entered the goblin regions again, and were approached for negotiations.

* They were taken to the leader of the goblins, King Arglis, who decided that the party would be better as allies.

* King Arglis explained to the group that for several years now a band of "vicious" evil goblins had been attacking his kingdom, and that the party would be granted safe passage through his lands if they were to find and kill the rebel leader.

* During discussions, it seemed as though Arglis' curiosity about artifacts was piqued.

* The party set forth and found a room full of hobgoblins, in which a gritty fight took place.  There was much blood.  After this harrowing experience, the party decided to leave the dungeon for awhile.
