Hi guys, I've been lurking for a while and think this site has a respectful and helpful community (most of the time), so here is the situation.
My PC's (A Sorcerer 3, a Ranger 3, and a Rogue 2) as well as Shelelu, Father Zantus, and Sheriff Hemlock are all in a pretty crappy situation. They sailed to the backside of the island, scaled the cliffs, climbed the fortress walls on to the roof (all with much tension and rolling over whether they would be spotted). Then they slew the two card playing goblins in the watchtower and went down. They ended up in the nearby meat-storage room (C12). And here is where problems set in.
They decided to stay in the room (20x20) and slay any goblin that came to get any grub. They could hear Ripnugget and the goblin performances in the other room and heard him demand a snack. When the goblin servant came to get some meat for Ripnugget they killed him. A little while after that Ripnugget sent a small group of goblins to track down the missing one. This time the PCs were unable to kill all of the goblins (4) before they raised the alarm shouting "LongShanks!"
They decided to try and hold out in the meat room as a choke point for the inevitable siege. They also set about trying to goad Ripnugget himself into attacking, yelling out names like "He who lays with dogs", "Weakling" and "Buttnugget" among others. The sorcerer is very charismatic and socially skilled.
So my question: How should Ripnugget react? Where do I go from here? The goblins (though not yet Nualia) are aware of the PC's presence. I have some ideas of my own but wanted to hear your Thoughts. Sorry for the long post.
TLDR: PC's holed up in Meat Room at Thistletop, Ripnugget knows they are there, they are trying to goad him into attacking them personally. What next?
