((Assuming that Dornikal and Coljin are occasionally glancing over to try to keep tabs on Ulmwin and others, they'd be able to see him emerge from the treeline atop the rocky cliff, with an elf trailing after him.))

Ulmwin for his part seems remarkably casual for his part. While he occasionally thanks the elf for his cooperation, and the occasional reassurance that things will be okay, his conversation seems... Surprisingly mundane. He's mostly talking about their group and some of their exploits, at least the ones he can tell without going into dangerous territory. Maybe subtly trying to implicate some sense of you really don't want to mess with them..? Only occasionally interrupted with questions toward him. "Whats your name? Got any family? Any jobs? Hobbies? You were pretty decent with that bow!"
The elf is following along, and seems to take some of the small talk more easily than others, those that touch on aspects that might otherwise conflict with his initial goal that had been overwritten by the compulsion to follow Ulmwin to meet up with both of their friends seem to confuse him slightly, his smile dropping and his brow furrowing.
"Essilar."
"Have a brother, but haven't seen him in years. No other immediate family."
"I... errr.. this is my job? Self-employed... pretty good at it... most days..."
"Heh... call it 'birdwatching'! Funny, isn't it?"
"Oh, thanks... missed a few times when I was shooting at... at... I was shooting at you?"
((Ulmwin, give me an Acrobatics or Athletics to climb down the rocks if you're descending. If you are, are you heading to the wagons, heading to where Dornikal and Coljin are? Signaling to anyone? They can all pretty much see you chatting with your new 'friend'.))
Ulmwin:
You get a sense image of creeping through the trees, to see in the distance, Essilar shooting at you and stabbing you, and a vicious anger from your draconic companion, as well as images of Danger's barbed tail sinking into the elf's neck and his eyes going blank as he topples from the cliff to splatter down below. It's not detailed, more of a fuzzy speculation, but you get the sense that Danger is ready to hurt the elf if he tries anything, or you give the word.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ulmwin knows to not push his luck too much, even though the spell should hold as long as he's not hostile. He's still pleasantly surprised to find the elf almost jovial too, however. He had half expected an instance of "I feel compelled to follow you down there, but that doesn't mean I have to like it,"
"Don't worry about it, water under the bridge. Birdwatching, eh? How often you do that?"
Arriving at the cliff he pauses for a moment, glancing over before back.
"Think you'll manage the climb down? I wouldn't want you to get hurt."
To Danger he senses a quick 'calming' message, saying how he's got the guy under control and there's no need to go get stabbing... But would have him relay the message that the elf may need to be subdued once they are down there. He may not have made the suggestion specific enough for him to obediently sit through the whole disarming process...
(He's looking to head down, to where he saw Randy and the others before, together with the other presumed bandits.)
"Every couple of months, different places, first time with this crew, they made right botch of it, didn't they?"
He pauses, as if something incongruous doesn't quite make sense.
He manages, though not as easily as the gnome, occasionally stopping as if thinking about something before shaking his head and continuing on. He crosses the bottom of the ravine and gazes up the far side, squinting against the sun.
((Athletics to climb up the far side?))

Garvey resists, keeping his lips tight and tossing his head to the side when Dornikal comes for him. But he's trussed up face down on the ground, so if Dornikal pushes the issue, he's not in much of a position to refuse.
((If Dornikal continues, where does his gentleness fall on a scale of lovers experimenting with bondage >>> dealing with a war criminal?))

((Dornikal will lean in, real close, and whisper, breathy "Don't ye fight now, Garvey. Dornikal is here now, just relax. Just ye relax..."
But really, he is aiming for getting him gagged without getting bit and without Garvey losing teeth in the process. If he has to choose, he is going to err on the side of not getting bit.))
Coljin watches Dornikal and the gagging...and opens his mouth about to speak, but then snaps it shut. He shakes his head a bit and instead watches the other two men while Dornikal does what must be done.

Randy eventually makes his way to the top of the ridge, as Ulmwin is emerging from the treeline, an elf following behind him.
((Ulmwin doesn't see Randy.))

Randy looks curiously at the procession coming his way, and decides to not break camouflage yet. He'll instead tag along while listening in.

(Sorry for absence...family medical stuff, I will be around more now.)
Coljin glances over at Dornikal, "Lot's of movement going on. What do you think is best we do next?"
"Aye think Randy and Ulmwin can handle it, we'll keep an eye on these three."
Dornikal sits down next to the trio,
"So where ye from? Ye ambush anyone around here?"
"Ambush, who said anything about ambush, you're the ones who ambushed us.", Garvey says sweetly.
The young halfling seems afraid to talk.

Dornikal gives Garvey a firm bonk on the noggin.
"Garvey, aye think aye'm going to need to gag ye. Let meh see what aye got..."
He digs around a pulls out a clothe that looks to have been used for all manner of evil,
"Okay, open up now..."
He will set about gagging the recalcitrant would be bandit.
Once that is accomplished he'll ask again,
"Anyone, other than Garvey, want to answer meh question?"
Garvey resists, keeping his lips tight and tossing his head to the side when Dornikal comes for him. But he's trussed up face down on the ground, so if Dornikal pushes the issue, he's not in much of a position to refuse.
