My players just had the most chaotic Cragmaw Hideout session
During the initial goblin ambush, I made one of them really pathetic and sad, because my players were getting murdery and I wanted them to have the help of a survivor. His name was Pickle. My players convinced themselves that Yeemik was Pickle's dad. They animal handled the wolves so well that they became their attack dogs. They split the party to beat up Klarg in one room and Yeemik in the other. They killed everyone except Pickle, Yeemik, and 2 goblins. They forced Yeemik to take Sildar's place in the cage and to make Pickle the new leader of the Cragmaw.
I love my friends.
