Study the surrounding caves with the aid of the natives, look for:

  • Good hiding places.
  • Good places to build fortifications.
  • All possible exits from the caves, where they lead to.
  • Any mineral deposits around.
  • Locations and/or other resources of note in the caverns.

You look around the surrounding caves. Seeing as you know nothing of mining, nor of the winning of many other resources, you don't really notice anything. However, you do notice almost no ambush places, but you do notice almost all the exits. It takes you a good while though. Maybe the Goblins know more about the resources nearby.
What will you do?

Ask about the surroundings.

We need intellectual resources. Is there anyone nearby who would know about how to mine, what to mine, and how to use it afterward? If we are ever going to graduate from "warband" to "empire", we must be able to build roads, and care for the people!

Perform survey on what these goblins can do. There are farmers, yes, but what do they farm? Obtain detailed information on each of the settlement's inhabitants' specialties.

What guys, calm down.
It's just a couple of goblins. Let's wait before we start planning our ascent to glory.

You look around the settlement for a rare resource among Goblins, people that know what they are doing! You find two Miners, a Beardless Dwarven Smith, three Farmers, two Fishers and a Shaman.
The
Farmers farm a fungus known as Glowshroom. It hasn't got much taste, but at least it is full of nutrition. It also glows, but that glow stops when it gets torn off the cavern walls.
The
Miners tell you there are at least two Iron Deposits, probably one Gold Deposit, as well as a Titanium Deposit. They tell you it is guarded by a being they call the Cursed Demon. What they know of it is that is has killed a lot of Goblins, three Dwarven Expeditions, an entire Orcish Clan and even a Brave Hero. However, the Beardless Dwarven Smith tells you that it has a weakness. It can control all non-living objects it sees, as long as no living being is touching it.
The Fishers say they fish for Cavern Fish, a white fish that's complementary to the usual Glowshroom rations.
The
Shaman is basically the village doctor, as well as a sort of first consultant for inhabitants with problems. The second consultant being you, obviously.

Leave the titanium for now. Exploit the other deposits. Figure out why the dwarf is here, and how loyal he is to the village. What motivates him? Begin setting up formal training systems for the different industries.

Look for replacement warriors to fill our ranks. Have them train to fight the demon. Consult the shaman for help and probably some potions and other charms to help us. See if we can get him to follow us on our journeys.

Just vote for it. Only it's your idea.

I wouldn't say that I was negating your voice. Just opposing it.
