Kriv takes a deep breath. As he speaks, he slowly straightens to his full height and grips his Greataxe tighter. “It was a large group. They’re bad people and they killed our friend. I suggest you think very hard. I am not a patient person and answers like that test my patience.”
"Besides, if just hearing about them causes you to frown," Khessa adds "why hide their movements from us? Tell us what you know... where they went or at least what direction they went... it's them we're interested in, guys, not you".
The Human is clearly stratled. I... I.. heard they left a few nights ago... when the prisoner escaped! The monk!
At the same time both Elves jump to their feet. The female is a bit away from you and quikly takes out 2 arrows and readies her bow. The male draws his sword. In Common they say:

Eric open up the palm of his right hand, lifting it up toward their ready arrows "We intended no harm, my friends" he stops briefly and looks toward Kriv "he had a bad time, all of us had due to the Cult of the Dragon who was dwelling here, we lost much. His manners are rude but is heart is driven by justice. The lady here at my side said the truth, we mean no harm to you, but her word have been hardened by our journey. I am Eric Bjornstrad, a servant of the Holy fire" he moves his shield toward the fire, making his holy symbol visible. "There is no reason to fight, we could both benefit from this encounter. All we need is some informations about the recent movement of those who dwelled here. And I think we could provide something useful for you in exchange of those informations..." he says the last words playing with a gold coin with is right hand.
Khessa keeps sitting quietly, as if nothing had happened, without any hint of hostile gesture, meeting the hunters' gaze with her calm blue eyes.
"My friend has just explained himself very well" she smiles to the hunters, nodding to Eric. "We do not pose a threat to you. And if the Cult has given you trouble or has threatened you... then, by helping us track it down, you will ensure that its attention is directed far more towards us than towards anyone else".

(She's just scouting, she just wanted to see if she could see anything or anyone in there.)
Finding the entrance to the cave abandoned, Zale turns to make her way back towards the hunters. It looks like the cult really did leave. But why? As much as she wants to explore the cave, it would be better to do so as a group.
She does not try to hide from the hunters. Making sure to walk up close to Eric, as to avoid suggesting an ambush, she waves and says to everyone, "Looks like they be gone alright." Then she addresses the hunters. Since they are clearly on edge she says, "As long as you aren't aligned with those cultists, ye don't have nothing to fear from us. We'd really appreciate it if ya tell us what ye know about 'em though."

If she has been able to thoroughly explore the camp, and finds it completely abandoned, Nixi will go to the cave entrance and creep inside. (She has darkvision to 60 feet). Still being invisible, she will slowly go forward until she sees or hears something.
The hunters are not impressed nor convinced by your words. With their weapons ready they back away from you to their horses.
Check to cave if you must. Now let us leave! The male Elf says. The female Elf keeps her bow aimed at Kriv while the others jump on their mounts. Once the others are on their horses they take out their bows and aim them at you. Now the female Elf jumps on her horse and take the remaining horse by the rope.

Perception 18
A thorough search of the camp takes about ten man-hours (I'm not making this up!). But I understand that Nixi woudn't want to waste her spell slot. So... how long did Nixi explored the camp before she decided to go to the cave?
(FYI the walk from the top of the cliff to hunters should take about 5-10 minutes)

They ride away unless you stop them.
Since they seem too scared to be reasoned with, Khessa lets them go without stopping them.
Then she asks the others, "Do we take their advice and check the cave?"

Eric mumbles some dwarfish profanities while watches the hunters getting away. Looking back to the others "I would suggest gathering together at the cave entrance, close to where we drop by... If some of our enemies were still dwelling into the camp, they had a good occasion of an ambush so, if they haven't showed themself so far, no one will. I am pretty convinced that they spoken truthfully and then the camp is actually abandoned. But I want to see if they have left something in that nursery before we leave" He starts walking back toward the cave entrance, trying is best to hide the jingles of his chainmail and his heavy steps. Also he looks around for every suspicious movement into the darkness around (he has 60ft dark vision).
he tries a awkward stealth check: 10 + 2 (Guidance)
Zale shrugs as the hunters ride away, "Well, at least the weren't hostile. I suppose we should be checking out that cave now."
"I didn't see anyone in there, though i can't see nearly as far as you." As she says this, she keep an eye out for any movement that could be a humanoid.
Eric murmurs a dwarfish pray, a gust of wind, carrying tiny sparks of fire winds around him for a second. Some of his comrades starts feeling an unusual vigor growing within. Eric casts Aid affecting himself, Khessa and Zale.
Zale, also not having darkvision, will stick close to Khessa. Feeling Erics spell take affect, she nods her thanks to him. "Alright then, if we be ready, let us proceed."
Eric murmurs a dwarfish pray, a gust of wind, carrying tiny sparks of fire winds around him for a second. Some of his comrades starts feeling an unusual vigor growing within. Eric casts Aid affecting himself, Khessa and Zale.
"Thank you, Eric!" smiles Khessa "Shall we enter now? I can open the way if you like".
I'm assuming Calvin has been following you around. But as you wait near the cave entrance (about 25 minutes after you climbed down the cliff) Nixi is nowhere to be seen.
"Nixi is nowhere to be seen..." Khessa realizes "But if she had been in trouble, I think she would have easily escaped and come back to us... she's invisible! Or at least she would have cast some quite visible or audible spell to attract our attention. I'd say we enter the cave and explore. She is either in there already, scouting ahead, or, if she is still outside, she will join us soon..."

Eric reach the entrance of the cave. He waits in the doorsteps looking into the cave while he waits for the others.
occ: I think we can enter the cave when everyone is ready. Do we all have dark vision or something else. I can cast light otherwise if someone need
Khessa, as human, does not have infravision, but she'll cats the Light cantrip on a pebble and keep it with herself, to be able to see.
She agrees to explore the cave.
