I can understand that desire in other D&D campaigns - but this one is about the main character waking up on a crashing alien spaceship, so I'm not sure why a different alien mentioning tjjhe existence of spaceships is offputting, is all I'm saynig.

I'd also completely forgotten about the one captive Goblin the woman would have to conveniently take that revenge on.
jjj
On the other hand though, I also actually used the Necromancy of Thay book this time, so free Speak with Dead, and got the quest to speak to Priestess Gut out of that Goblin that way anyway.
Understandable - but as I mentioned, I'm resisting the Urge, and in fact getting that tiefling to calm down is explicitly a resist moment

I will say there's an unlimited-use Speak With Ddead amulet very early on if that was your main reason for engaging with the book.

Eh, I had my Darwin Revoker standing 15 feet away
