Try to calm the goblin down
From Create Your Own Story
You shimmey over to him and let out a tremendous sigh. You help the goblin up by his shoulder as he grimaces and shivers. He stares at you for a moment. You yell out at him.
"Light? Will you make light?"
You see a few brief notions, but can't tell what they are. He removes a moderately sized stick from the back of his belt and starts to rub it against the stone wall. The rubbing is faster and faster. Sparks fly, the wood is degraded, until suddenly the stick explodes into a flickering flame.
You can now clearly see him. He nods, holding the torch between the two of you. Suddenly, he begins to speak in the same tongue as you.
"I am Negotiator. You call me Negotiator. I am only one who speak language of hoo-mans. You help me. What your name?"
You seem a bit confused at first, but then clear your throat and respond. "Ark. My name is Ark."
"Good, good. Negotiator know way out. There is 3, but I know best. Follow!"
