Oskar stares at the room's content in disbelief. "Not that much."
He shrugs. "Gotta say, though, of all the awful smells we've found in this joint, htis is the least offensive. So, uh, yay, I guess? Let's go," he says, hefting his crowbar. "Wasn't there one more room we didn't get to before we call it a day...?"

"Or the thing associates pickles with goblins who tortured" Justin pauses and looks up him/her and will stomp you flat if it smells them. As much as I adore empirical methods of evidence collection, perhaps i should just get the pound of salt i have sitting on bitey and use that. "

"Yeah, horses can eat pickles. Probably like them too, most animals are interested in salty foods. Don't feed him the whole jar though, that's not healthy."
Using the pickles, you lure the horse out of the shed. Not an easy thing, considering the size of the door of the shed (the shed breaks a few more planks).
The food shed also contains grain, which the horse is currently happily munching on.
Out in the open, it looks like the horse suffered a lot of abuse at the hands of the goblins. Its thin and its coat is matted. But he also looks like he did a lot of suffering back, as you see a coat of blood on its hooves.

"Well, looks like we at least rescued someone. I shudder to think how they got him through the thistle maze though. And I wonder why they even bothered to take him captive?"
Vitro ponders for a bit.
"The note we found on the guy in Sandpoint mentioned a shrine at Thistletop but we haven't seen anything like that yet have we? And there's also a bugbear and a would-be-demon girl at large." glancing at Vy "Wonder if they're downstairs?"
Meanwhile, let's also investigate the remaining room.

"More or less, yeah." Oskar waves a hand around over his head. "We pretty much cleared this top level, but we got two separate stairwells leadin' down, and we've kind of given it most of what we've got to give right now. We're figurin' we block both doorways. Ropes, pile a buncha crap up against 'em, anything and everything to keep someone from gettin' through without makin' a ruckus. Get some rest, then hit the lower level tomorrow. Sound reasonable?"
Shalelu looks thoughtfull. "Hm.... You're pretty banged up, so a nights rest couldnt hurt. If something is in the basement, it looks like they are pretty much used to the ruckus, otherwise they would have come up and checked by now. Then again, with goblins for upstairs neighbors, you either become used to it, or find somewhere else to live."

"Not the headboard! Its beautiful! "
Justin will pile bitey full of small rocks, and take 10 for 18 craft stonework to pile them up in a semblance of order in front of the door
At some point he'll try to pull Shalelu aside "The three goblin females in dresses, did they make it out or...." and looks suspiciously at some of the thicker foliage where a goblin sized body might disappear.

Oskar stares incredulously at Justin. "There's actually enough magic in the world to make you okay with the previous owner? Really? Fine..."
Oskar sighs, and with some grunting and much effort, turns the bed so that the headboard is away from the door. "Anything happens past that, too damn bad. Okay?"

"No, but there's more than enough magic in marketing so that we don't tell the next owner about the previous one. Remember how much the LAST piece of ugly art I had my eye on went for? " he adjusts his tiara "No, the other one "

Justin pauses for a second
" In my head? You holding it over your head in front, dayo holding it behind and me on top with an umbrella sipping drinks to get it off the island. For the longer haul,my pony with a travois or sled."

"I don't think Dayo had enough older sisters to get him used to that kind of threat, or how to go limp and pass out properly when strangled. Go easy on him "
Stickfoot licks the tear from Dayo's face.
When offered a rabbit, the gecko breaks the rabbits back with a quick shake of the head, then swallows it whole.

Justin finishes his rock walls, hangs his clothes on a hook, prestidigitates the place with extreme prejudice, lays out his blanket, calls bitey over, and falls over.
The larger rat nudges justin off the blanket, grooms his ears a little , hisses at the assembled menagerie, and eventually falls asleep as well.

A childhood memory arises unbidden. Oskar had been teasing his sister. Their cousin Uhlka hadn't liked that, and "corrected" Oskar. The feeling of being hung out the window while she calmly said, "Say my name," was as vivid as if it had happened last week.
S’too bad. Everyone should have a cousin like her, Oskar thinks to himself as he goes over to Dayo.
"I ain’t stranglin’ anyone, Dayo. That was just uh, exaggeration. Sorry about that, didn’t mean to fly off the handle at ya. But I really don’t think all that lickin’ is a good idea."
Waiting through a long silence from Dayo, Oskar then says, "I uh, I saw a nice brown and white guy in there that he might like..."
"I don't think he'd lick your hairy head anyways. Unless he found giant lice hiding in there."
Given the long pause before his next words you're not entirely sure how he meant that to come across...
"Thank you. I didn't think you'd actually suffocate me. I guess this whole war has us all emotional. I hate having to be here. I'll be happy again when it's over."
Dayo wipes some fur away from the gecko's mouth.
"Would you help me name him? I think it's a him. Males are usually more colorful. I was thinking 'Licker', because then people might be warned not to get too close. But it's not really a special name. Any suggestions?"

Vitro seemed a bit lost in his own reverie, thinking back to his own childhood with "younger siblings" who quickly outgrew him, but then snaps back into it.
The gecko licks its right eyeball in response to Dayo.
With Shalelu's help, you barricade both stairwells. With the goblin corpses shoved off the edge of the island, you barricade yourselves in the throneroom.
