Taurl moved with the others, sneaking around and not making a dash for anything just yet. He had to save his stamina in the event they had to flee. The door to the granary ahead of them had been left open. Perhaps the guard had become complacent. Or maybe he had left to relieve himself. Whatever the case, it was a stroke of luck. Without explaining further, Taurl entered the granary and rummaged around, looking for the best stuff he could safely grab. 

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that this structure wasn't just a granary, but an all-purpose storage hut. He looked around for something to take. There were some human-made silver coins, a set of books written in the elven script, and a dwarven axe. He considered taking the weapon, but it was too heavy for him to carry at any speed. Just as he was about to give up, a bright-colored object in the back of the hut caught his eye. 

He ran over to the shiny item and found that it was something that was once thought to be irretrievably lost. Several generations ago, there had been a major war between the various tribes of goblins in the region. Normally, this resulted in a stalemate, but one of the chiefs had managed to conquer and thus unite all of the other tribes, creating a single "kingdom", allowing that one chief to be known as the "goblin king" in these parts. With all the tribes under one ruler, the goblins went from being a nuisance to a threat to the other sentient races, resulting in many conquests for the goblins. Some of the plunder was taken and used to form this elaborate crown, a rich headdress adorned with gems and pearls, fit for a goblin's head. 

Taurl realized that it was a risk endeavor to take the crown, and he knew that there must be some kind of security measure in place to secure it, probably a spell put there by the tribe's shaman. Still, having an artifact of such historical significance was too good a chance to pass up. He also knew that as soon as he grabbed it, there was a good chance of an alarm going off or some other negative event. He decided to wait for as long as possible before taking the crown, in order to give the others a chance to get something themselves. Taurl couldn't possibly keep the crown for himself; that honor would have to go to the chief.
