Aran takes one look at the man as he's down there, trying to untie himself. His eyes fall upon Krentz's coin pouch. With one hand outstretched, he tries to take it. All the while trying to look like he's actually punching the man.
Caix continues to secure the thugs as they fall as quickly as possible. (I believe all four of the spares at this point)Leaving them at the edge of the room, double checking that the ropes are secure before stepping away to another side of the room to watch the event unfolding in the center of the tavern.

As opportunities present while securing them, she will pocket various valuables about her person. sleight of hand24 for her general success if allowed.
Creach slashes the arms of both Yagra the Half-Orc and Krentz the Tattooed Thug. "Ow, what's the big idea?!", both say simultaneously.
Suddenly, shouts of alarm ring out as a hulking creature climbs up out of the shaft in the middle of the taproom — a monster with warty green skin, a tangled nest of wiry black hair, a long, carrot-shaped nose, and bloodshot eyes. It bares its yellow teeth and howls. Most everyone in the tavern reacts in fear, but not the barkeep, Durnan, who shouts, "Troll!"

Now everything is different. A troll had climbed out of the shaft and was threatening all of the customers of the Yawning Portal. Olaerys moved to circle behind it and shouted to the two “Stop fighting each other, we need to kill this thing!”
Olaerys attacks from its flank with his battle axe. He encourages the others to gang up on it.

The prfoessor’s eyes widen as he takes in the sight of troll. And he flinches a bit at it’s howl. “Well well, it looks like adventure is coming to me.” Still unsure about the two fighting in the bar, he instead looks at the troll as the biggest threat to everyone in the room. He sees Olaerys preparing to move and grasps his intention to flank the beast so addresses the creature in an attempt to distract it.
”Dear god, you have to be the ugliest troll that ever crawled out of the sewers down there. Is that your face or did your neck just throw up?“ (Vicious Mockery) Wisdom save DC13 or 2 Psychic damage and disadvantage on its next attack.
The professor then turns towards Olaerys “Olaerys! Set your feet when you swing that axe and follow through with your hips. You can’t generate power just using your arms!” (Bardic inspiration bonus action)
"What the hell is wrong with you, she was defending hersel- woah, guys, lower your weapons, this is getting out of- guysIthinkwehaveatroll!" His eyes widening even more at the sight of the troll. Aran's thought process comes out rapidly and it changes rapidly. He pauses for a moment to consider the troll for a moment. Then his eyes slide to a cup of abandoned hard liquor. Which... the young scoundrel grabs, the other hand pulling out his short sword. Aran dumping the alcohol on the blade as he eyes the creature. Shoulders tensing as he prepares to dodge any incoming thrown projectiles.
"Oof!", Yagra groans as Krentz smacks her in the stomach with his mace.

He does not! Aran has his coin pouch.

The four are tied up; about the note, Caix will have an opportunity to do that on her turn, if she chooses. : )
Creach is still up.
Creach will again try to aim for the arms but on both combatants rather than just Krentz in a second attempt to "declaw" them, as it were.
Attack: 13 Damage: 6
Attack: 24 Damage: 4
Farewell.

Seeing the troll, Zimm will roll his eyes.
In Giant, he will shout, “THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU. GO HOME!” With his action he will cast the cantrip mind sliver INT save DC12 or 6 Psychic damage.
He will use his movement to close to about 30 feet from the newly arrived troll.

Noob
Olaerys yells “Thanks Prof! That helps!”

The troll growls as the axe lands in its side!
(Olaerys didn't need the inspiration to hit so he still has it.)

Missed the vicious mockery, the Troll's save: (Wisdom Save: 12)
(Just a note I saw Jynne's planned action but want to confirm it because the troll might have changed things.)
Caix looks up in surprise at the sudden Troll in the room and moves forward quickly and carefully from the side, flicking two daggers from her belt.
Dagger Throw 1 : Attack: 7 Damage: 5sneak attack if distracted by her allies/other patrons.
Dagger Throw 2 : Attack: 14 Damage: 2
Sneak attack if focused on allies/other patrons within 5' -> 4
The first dagger lands true, drawing green blood. The second one also hits but does no harm to the troll's tough hide.
Yagra and Krentz decide to put aside their differences for now and engage the troll!
