What's she gonna do - throw Dude off a cliff?
@VashTheStampede do I have to specifically ask to look inside the Lionshield crates or did Kutshort look and find nothing useful?

Maybe that's the last time Dude gets the big bad to come for him instead of T'anks.I mean she did throw the goblin down the chimney after shanking him.
Besides, this was Dude's big takeaway.

@shortkut get in here
Its time to talk about lockpicking
Normally lockpicking in D&D is fuckin lame and boring IMO. You just try to beat a DC of 15 and that's it.
FUCK THAT
I use a lockpicking variant in my games.
I hope you like rolling dice.
Lockpicking
You will be rolling a series of dice based on your proficiency at picking locks.
You will roll this die over and over, adding up the result to try and hit a certain range of numbers, which is determined by the difficulty of the lock. If you go over, you fail to pick the lock. If you land within the range, you pick the lock.
It makes it more of a minigame, which is usually appreciated way more than just rolling a die once.
If you fail, you roll a d4, and I'll consult a chart to let you know what happens next. I like to leave that part a mystery at first.

Good thing I have thieves tools and proficiency with them…. So I roll a d8?
Look, Carl gets murdered at his home, after trying to offer the assailants money from the wallet he'd left on the table just to leave him alone, only to be slaughtered in front of his now orphaned son, and you complain that he didn't have more on his physical person? Do you keep a $20 tucked in your ass-cheeks while wearing your pajamas, just so no one is disappointed if they break in and kill you?

What do kidneys go for on the DnD black market?
I don't know. I'm still trying to process how I want to deal with my party immediately trying to process and eat their enemies... Not even the random beast ones either, like sentient beings with a credit score.
I... I think my party might be... evil?
Sounds that way
Everyone is a ration if they don't move quickly enough.

@VashTheStampede
Is Dude stable enough to observe what's happening / make a post or is he sleeping/resting?

I'm still processing my feelings on the matter, if it helps. And I didn't do a single point of damage to Carl. And yet somehow I was the one he hated the most.

Then I believe we just need to know if @shortkut or @GwJumpman have any other business in this part of the cave
It being Saturday and all, I absolutely copped out and put her on standby. 
Logistically at this point the party needs to move on to Phandalin, just a matter of deciding whether they do a long rest before leaving the cave or en route if that's possible/feasible? Goblins should not, in theory, be an issue - but bandits and wild animals could be a concern, and half the party is sorta spent.
Not sure how Kutshort's side quest factors into encumbrance.

As long as I grabbed the morning star and javelins in addition to the stuff from the chest, I’m good to go.
If we wanted to return the crates, do we need to have an actual way to do it or can we just tell their rightful owner we found them and let them be returned off-screen? I don’t know how many crates there are or their size, so transporting them will be hard, unless Tuberius shows up with the cart

A wagon would be ideal, I’m just hoping for a pull-sled
