Involvement

Act One

Upon entering the Underground Passage, the party will find Gresh, Gurza, Torrack, and Worm discussing the fate of their fellow goblins. One of the druids of the Emerald Grove, Findal, lies unconscious nearby. While the other goblins discuss new torture methods, Gresh asserts that they still need answers from their hostage. Presumably, Findal fell unconscious during an interrogation.

Regardless of the party's interactions with Gresh, he is always hostile to the party and cannot be persuaded to release Findal nor allow them safe passage. If Sazza is with the party, he ridicules her as a failure.
