Cirrus stands up in front of the crowd and addresses them: "This act shall not go unpunished! The Redbrands have gone too far this time! No longer shall their villainy be tolerated in this fair town! My associates and I plan to march upon their hideout to deliver the violent retribution that they have resigned themselves to! I ask that you unite and join our cause! Stamp out these brigands who hold no respect for the hard work that you all out forth to create such a peaceful and lovely town as you have. This farmer, Mr. Alderleaf, was a man who helped to cultivate the food that would go to all of you, but because of these despicable thugs, his life has been tragically cut short! I understand if you do not wish to join us, but with our numbers combined, we will overwhelm them and drive them out from this land! And if they escape with their lives, they will know never to take their scum around here again!"

Perhaps a very successful roll enables a shared song of righteous anger:
EDIT: well shoot. Oh well, no harm done I guess. Looks like we're going in alone, boys!
After the awkward pause and silent stares (best case scenario), Cirrus awkwardly gets down and shuffles away and sees about buying a crossbow (either Hand or Light) and some ammunition.

As the group heads into the Lionshield Coster to buy their weapons, all ranged supplies the store has in abundance, the shopkeeper would say I heard your little speech outside, you didn't buy these weapons fro me, and don't cause my store any trouble. And just as she finishes, a large number of the townsfolk enter the place, apparently Cirrus speech had stirred them more than he expected.. as the words said can sometimes have more of an effect than the charm you said them with.
None of them have any real weapons, however, they do have improvised weapons, such as pitchforks, carving knives, clubs, and sticks (all doing 1d4 + 0) Though there are some faces missing, most of the town has decided to join your cause. You do notice that Sildar is not among them. Whatever business he had with the townmaster must have been pressing or some other commotion situation keeping him unawares. All of those gathered however saying things like it's about time we put them in their place, they wont terrorize us anymore and other similar sentiments. The town itself didn't have that many citizens, but with this, you have a small army.
Bastille looks over the villagers and nods approvingly. She says, "Perhaps we can now attack with more force. The halls of their base are narrow so I believe it would be wise to keep them as backup."

“Back up sounds like a good plan,” Vimak says. “How should we approach the base? Back the same way we left? Or would another entrance, if there is one, be better?”
Vimak does a few squats. "So, if they are there, draw them towards the entrance? It's a push point. Or one of the bridges?" He is remembering all the times he has seen a bow bing used and times he has shot one himself. "I'm ready when you and Cirrus are," he says.

Bastille looks around and says, "I believe we should check the place before springing our trap. We should try to find a suitable place to bottle neck them. However, I still suspect the base may be abandoned. Let us search."
If the party doesn't have some other idea, she will try to be stealthy as she moves from room to room to see what she finds. Going West from the entrance first.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Vimak will try to be stealthy as well, but will stay back far enough from the others that he can watch them without calling attention to them. If possible. 19

Commoners stealth - 13
Despite their fury, the commoners of the town managed to stay quiet enough not to draw any potential attention, should the area not be abandoned. There are still torches in sconces, illuminating every so many feet, leaving only pitch dark areas in 5 foot stripes, crisscrossing randomly.
Heading west, as the apparently very stealthy group makes their way around, Bastille finds a set of stairs, leading down. Though it's dark, the torch near the top and one unseen at the base somewhere provides enough light to walk uneventfully. Luckily, thanks to Cirru's help, Bastille spots a wire, that had been setup at ankle-height, and she manages to get over it without issue. Telling the others to watch out for it. The group makes it's way past the trap.
At the base, there is a door to the south at the far end, by the torch, and a hallway, leading to another door, with another torch nearby it. Silence pervades.
(That was more a question for my fellow players, to hear what they think)
(edit: alright, gimme some time to come up with something adequately dramatic)

What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting group is like a curse!
Their robes a hellish red
They're only good when dead
They're vermin as I said, and worse!
They're savages!
Savages!
Barely even human!
Savages! Savages!
Drive them to the shore!
They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war!
They're savages!
Savages!
Dirty redbrand devils!
Now we sound the drums of war!

Vimak will buy a short bow and twenty arrows. He shouts loudly in support of Cirrus and is surprised to hear the silence of the townspeople.

Bastille says, "I don't know. With back up, I think we should just go in through the same way because I have a feeling the base might be abandoned."
Vimak does a few squats. "So, if they are there, draw them towards the entrance? It's a push point. Or one of the bridges?" He is remembering all the times he has seen a bow bing used and times he has shot one himself. "I'm ready when you and Cirrus are," he says.

(OOC - I'm going to assume at this point you're all heading back since no one has explicitly stated so :x)
With a small mob in tow, you all head back to the cave, and then enter. Still no guards outside the cave, and the entryway seemingly abandoned.
So what do you do? where do you go?

Cirrus will aid in this recon mission. He takes the Help action to give Bastille advantage in that perception roll.
