It looks possible, if difficult, to climb up on the ruins of the tower in such a way that you would be above the goblins on guard. As you watch, you see several other goblins move past the doorway on the inside of the tower, but not more than a handful.
Standing behind the group, Syd whispers her arrival hoping she does not startle anyone.
"There are two goblins at the top of some stairs that lead into the tower itself and one of them is carrying a horn and I also saw several other goblins walking around inside of the structure. I am sorry I do not have an accurate count of the total number. The goblin with the horn is the one that mainly concerns me as there is no telling how many it will bring it if is sounded. I did see a possible route of getting up above the goblins on the tower but it might just be best to take out the goblins from a distance and hope we don't alert the ones inside." Syd explains, "Maybe we attack at night and hope more of them are asleep or something." she suggests.
Viktor smiles and lets himself sigh slightly as Syd returns unharmed. Shield in one hand a large steel Warhammer in the others he begins to speak, "Personally I always enjoy the night, provides a type of comfort... But I understand if we wish to do this in the light of day." He rests the Warhammer softly onto the ground as he reaches out and once more rests his hand on Syd's forearm. "Thank you for taking the first steps into danger Syd."
Viktor needs to bend his knees to touch her forearm and as he does so, Syd can see his eyes go from his sunflower yellow to a color that mixes between steel and black. "I offer you my blessing, may you be as vigilant as you are brave."
Viktor gives Syd 'Vigilant's Blessing" (See Spoiler)
Vigilant Blessing TCoE, pg. 35
As an action, you give one creature you touch (including possibly yourself) advantage on the next initiative roll the creature makes. This benefit ends immediately after the roll or if you use this feature again.

A sudden inspiration flits across Kel'dan's face. His voice cracks slightly, as he speaks up. "We... may not have to wait for night for the goblins to fall asleep." He pauses for a moment, collecting himself before continuing. "My... affliction... has afforded me some unexpected abilities. With some focus, I have been able to make creatures fall dead asleep, having been wide awake but a moment before. I've only tried it on small creatures up to this point, but perhaps it could be enough to give us an edge. I'd just need to get close enough."
Lyssma slithers down Viktor's back and lands on her feet. She adjusts her clothes, drawing her hood down tight. "Night'd be better, if you ask me. Once we're inside, the sunlight won't be o' much help." Considering Kel'dan's idea, she looks up toward the entrance. "How close?"
"If you can put the sentries to sleep, that would be a great boone." Ethan says with a nod. "I too would like to know how close you need to be to make it work." He glances to the others. "Waiting for night is fine, but it will mean we are all tired and sleepy going into a fight. Not my choice if we can help it. Even if we get a bit of rest now it will still mean a very long day before we can truly sleep again." (Thinking only a Short Rest would be available now, as we just had a Long Rest not much before now, and that we would be pushing past the normal adventuring day by starting this at nightfall.) He nods to the path ahead. "As was said, once we are inside night or day is not going to matter, so I would like to take out those sentries now, quietly, then get inside and go from there."
"I need to be less than 100ft away from the target. I've found being slightly closer than that to be a bit more reliable. There are some limits to how many creatures it works on, though I haven't been able to work out exactly how it behaves. This is all still very new to me."
He sighs slightly and bows his head, frustrated. "I'm sorry. I wish understood better."
"Sleep idea works for me, and I should be able to get us within the range you said. And no offense I will be ready with my bow just in case." Syd says.
Standing proudly and with a fierce concentration, "Thank you for the blessing Viktor, I won't let you down." Then she moves on to the front of the group ready to lead the way, whispering to herself, "Won't let any of you down, not like my time before."
Viktor stands up and stretches his arms in large circles with a grin on his face, "Goblins... Such strange creatures... May Selune have mercy on them." He stands tall and looks to his comrades and sighs as he folds out a blanket and begins to take off his armor (Will take about 10 mins if I recall the ruling).
He looks to the others, now wearing a simple white shirt and black pants, shield and Warhammer in hand he grins his eerily white teeth at his comrades. "Shall we?"

Everybody, roll Stealth for me as you approach the entrance, and Athletics or Acrobatics for anyone that tries to climb the ruins to get to the doorway over the goblins. Here is a quick view of the map. The goblins stand in the open doorway between A1 and A2. The winding road approaching the entrance offers some cover, making it possible for you to sneak up.
The five of you move quietly toward the tower, unseen and unheard by the goblins, who honestly seem pretty distracted and bored. Lyssma, you struggle a bit, but you are eventually able to get atop the wall.

"Good idea." Ethan says, also removing his heavy armor. He puts it into his pack and then is ready to move forward.

When they ar close enough Ethan will look at the sleep-caster and give them a nod to indicate they should do what they can.
