Watl crept out from behind the wall and made his way in the direction of the brutes in front of them, careful to stay on the opposite side of the stream of refuse. He used his companions as a distraction to sneak back that way to make sure they couldn't escape and to find out from which direction they came. He focused all his energy on moving forward inconspicuously.
(The idea is to dash while stealthed, essentially moving the standard movement instead of the half that stealth requires)

Bones prepares toll the dead but uses his concentration to hold the spell - if the half-orc takes aim with his weapon, Bones will immediately release the spell onto it.
With the casting complete, he hisses at the half-orc, "Drop your weapon and surrender - or pay with your life."
Upon hearing Bones' offer and looking around at all his dead companions he pauses, as Trust and Zack begin to surround him he lowers his weapon and then finally drops it at his feet as his shoulders slump and he bows his head. Watl is able to slip past but doesn't determine exactly where they came from, only that they were down here and seemed comfortable enough traversing the sewers.

"So - Steel Fist, I take it? How about you do us, and yourself, a favor and let us know which tunnels you came down from, what you were doing before running into us, and which tunnels you and your friends operate out of? Exit-entrance points between the tunnels and the town would also be useful."
// Omw to an event, so if someone else can run the questioning - much obliged - also, insight check the living heck out of him - consider Bones helping in however way he can (to grant advantage) //
Watl and Jianyu go about two more intersections to the west before running into a caved-in section blocking further progress, the half-orcs had to of come from the south or north but there are no evident tracks on the stone walkways.
The half-orc grunts, "We're Steel Fists, we go where we please. Who are you and what are you doing down here in the sewers?" he looks around, squinting at you all with some drool dripping from his chin. (He seems proud to be with the Steel Fists and feels entitled because of that.)
Watl makes his way back to the group and notices the thug standing defiant against the questioning so he crept up behind the half-orc and pressed his dagger against his thigh from behind.
"Where else do you gather down in these tunnels?" the halfling asked casually, pressing the blade high against the thug's thigh.
Zack says, "Come now! Not even emperors roam down in a smelly place like these sewers. Speaking of which, Steel Fist or not, you are surrounded and have a blade held against you. I'd talk a bit more carefully if I were you. Tell me, who among the Steel Fist gave you orders to come down here?"
I stand back and watch, impressed by the halflings work. I would have started cutting off fingers, but this seems to be working. I draw my dagger, moving closer to the orc, and get ready to step in for the real messy part of this interrogation. “Maybe we’re Steel Fists too you stupid ****! You think you know everyone in the faction?” I say to the orc.
"We gather here or the other room further to the north. We..." he stops for a moment looking around at his dead comrades, "...I work for Sandrick." He turns to Vosnin with a confused look growing on his face. "If you are Steel Fists why did you attack us and kill so many?"
”figured you were the city guard. Kind of took us by surprise so we did what we had to do. Hope you understand. Nothing personal.” I pause for a moment. “Sandrick you say....?”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Trust puts his daggers back in his cloak and moves away from the group clustered around the half-orc. He watches the captive for any sign of deception or withholding information.
Bones, looking at Vosnin and trying to pick up on where he was going offers, "Pfft.... Sandrick. Who's he taking orders from - he ain't that smart to be running the whole gang. Who's he been talking to?"

Taking Bones's cue for diplomacy. Trust will not attack and wait for the half-orc's response while keeping vigilant against any hostel action.
(Taking the dodge action)
Zack will use his Cunning Action to Dash. With 60ft movement, he moves closer to the remaining enemy and Dodge.

Jianyu moves ahead after Watl while his companions secure the prisoner. (Perception: 12 + Guide 4)
