Valdalyn can't help but feel some compassion for the diminutive figure but figures the two sylvan kin should get to know each other first, so she merely introduces herself, using her masculine identity of course, neutrally, and watched Aive and the goblin, wondering how it will end up. Although it is not the swiftest deer in the forest, from the way Aive is working with it, it seems to be more or less genuine in its behavior, but the girl can't help but not think it is a good idea to have this pitiful creature wandering around armed and armored and believing it is a hero, though if it can help them save their own people, then it is a "necessary" evil - she hopes. She decides to retire for a time to pray to Heironeous for guidance on the matter, and blessing for their journey, before watches are set.
Once Aive gets over the confusion of where Lwentano (who obviously jealous of his goblin friend) pulled out his own weird friend from,
He will inform the goblin that the two of them will be scouting ahead together and it would be in everyones interest that if he happens to notice an ambushing ground, trap or dangerous situation that he warned us of it.
will give him a few pointers on sneaking and scouting then probably stay between 15-30 feet from him, will hide from him when I can altho will always keep an eye on him.

Lwentano will ask the girl her name in elvish. He will remember some of his upbringing and offer her some bread and cheese from his rations thinking that she may not consume the flesh of animals. He will offer her his guidance if needed as the group heads deeper into the forest. He is looking forward to slaying a few goblins.
Sir Valdalen wonders aloud, "Well, we've got to get to the bottom of all this as quickly as possible. What does anyone else think our next choices are? What do we need to do? What are our best approaches to this whole situation? Do we just continue on and just walk up on the goblins or is there some other avenue we can take? This is what I've wanted to do, real quests, real adventure and saving people - but I admit I'm not sure how to go about it."
This is how this is going down in my head. Aive says
" My buddy goblin leads us pretty safely through the forrest, maybe kill a small resistance and recruit a few more.
Sneak into the caves through the back door,
have the high Armored party members fight defensively (on the full defense) to distract the lemurs while a few of us attack from range.
Our only real weapon against them I know of is the magic bow, and I think perhaps the spell casters will get past their healing.
He then asks the goblin, is there a back door? and what else he can tell them of the layout!
Lwentano is ready to stop for the night after a long hard journey through the forest. He will make sure the area around them is clear of any threats if possible. Knowing that at night creatures come out he wants to find a defensible area if one presents itself.
The woods are full of creatures that like to hunt at night. We have to keep our eyes open. If the goblin clan moves about a lot finding a back door may not be a option.
Myrrani stays with the group, silent and reserved for the most part. She is still unsure about them. She knows they are hunting goblins, and the goblins are in some caves, she has gathered that much from listening. They seem like decent people, even if they are armored and armed like those filthy bandits. She speaks up, in common.
"Umm... I... I can... I can take the watch... If we camp for the night... If you want."
