Bran leads Cleghor back to the camp. A bedroll is brought out from a tent for him to rest upon. Ballodon and Bran then proceed to the purple (green) tents. They emerge a bit later each wearing chain mail. Bran has a long sword at his side and Ballodon is carrying a gleaming war hammer with intricate etchings. Ballodon has a ring with two keys in his hand. Bran is carrying a backpack.
Hoid will methodically check the tents for contents of interest starting with the tent at the back of the canyon. Someone with magical aptitude should investigate the globe that lit up the area.
Chadwick will lead Badit over by the fire (the one with four logs) then tie his feet. He'll ask Badit where they stored the gear for the horses. And how many patrols they usually send out.
Once that's done he'll track down Hoid and cast cure wounds 4 plus 3 with lay on hands. Then he'll use the remaining 7 points on Gneuman.
He'll then make his way over to Cleggor and Ballodon and introduce himself and express his sorrow for what they had to endure.
After that's done he'll make his way up to the first tower and loot the bodies they left there. Then head over to the corral and check out the horses.
Investigation of the large white tent at the rear of the camp:
The front two thirds is separated from the back third by a hanging carpet on each side of a opening with a cloth drape. The front area has a rectangular table with four chairs in the center, a silver candelabra (50gp) sits in the center, a small side table with a tripod sits to the left by the opening to the back. To the right is a setting heaped pillows on a rug as a sitting area. There is a low brazier made of brass with a tripod (25gp) with a small wooden box sitting beside it holding 8 incense blocks (1gp each).
I don’t think this has been expressly stated, so if it hasn’t been done yet, Hoid will stop what he is doing and remove any potential weapons from the prisoners.
Chadwick is making himself generally busy. He offers Tyr's mercy to Hoid and Gneuman with his healing. He then speaks with Cleggor and Ballodon. Ballodon is amiable and introduces himself as well, "I am Ballodon of the Hammertone clan. Many thanks to you and your friends for helping me be free again and recover Honor." He shows you his hammer as he names it. It is a beautiful weapon with intricate scroll work on the head and handle. The head is polished to a mirror-like surface. You believe it is a silver alloyed weapon by its appearance.
Cleggor is less talkative. He has clearly been through a great deal of mistreatment. He nods when Ballodon thanks you, "Yes, kind sir. Thank you." He gazes at you and a puzzled look comes across his face. "Are you one of the group I hired in Luskan?," he croaks out.
Once his conversation with the former captives is completed he walks over to the corral. The horses seem a bit anxious and walk over to the corral fence when Chadwick approaches. It is early morning so they are probably looking for some food. There is some terrible looking hay in their feed bin and their water is low and scummy. The horses look a bit underfed, but still healthy. Both are shoed, but you see no riding tack.
Bronk gleefully moves about camp searching the dead. He gathers up their swords and shields, as well as their pouches. Once done with this he capers about the two living bandit prisoners in a very mocking manner. Finally, he walks over to Tholin and Olea at the same time Chadwick is examining the horses. He looks to Chadwick and then urinates on Tholin. The captive monk jerks himself out of the way of the foul stream. Bronk leaves laughing.
Hoid carefully looks through the "doorway" into the next chamber of the tent. There is a bed, a chest and a stand for armor. He sees no one there. Pushing the curtain aside with his too-long sword he enters.
The rear third of the tent has a small bed with a cotton mattress, sheets and pillows. There is a stand to hold her armor and weapons and a large chest. The chest is made of hard wood with iron bands. A locking mechanism is on the front center of the chest.
It is a large chest with a key requiring lock on the front. It is heavy and bulky. You could drag it out, but carrying would be too much for you alone.
Hoid will ask Ballodon, “Are the keys on that ring yours? I’ve found a locked chest and despite my prodigious skill with locks, a key would be simpler.”
The locks still work after Hoid opening them. Shockingly.

I don’t think this has been expressly stated, so if it hasn’t been done yet, Hoid will stop what he is doing and remove any potential weapons from the prisoners.
I am assuming that prisoners have had weapons and shields removed. They are then restrained with rope or shackles.
I proceed to do so then.
Chadwick is making himself generally busy. He offers Tyr's mercy to Hoid and Gneuman with his healing. He then speaks with Cleggor and Ballodon. Ballodon is amiable and introduces himself as well, "I am Ballodon of the Hammertone clan. Many thanks to you and your friends for helping me be free again and recover Honor."

The horses look a bit underfed, but still healthy. Both are shoed, but you see no riding tack.
Hoid will put the items of value in the first tent together near the entrance of the tent. He will then move to the next closest tent.
Bronk gleefully moves about camp searching the dead. He gathers up their swords and shields, as well as their pouches. Once done with this he capers about the two living bandit prisoners in a very mocking manner. Finally, he walks over to Tholin and Olea at the same time Chadwick is examining the horses. He looks to Chadwick and then urinates on Tholin. The captive monk jerks himself out of the way of the foul stream. Bronk leaves laughing.
Bronk's haul
62gp, 441sp, 518cp
23 Short Swords, 23 shields
Olea's Rapier and 5 daggers
Tholin's dagger
Total treasure to this point
73gp, 513sp, 628cp
Leaving the back 1/3 of the tent unexamined?
Negative. I misunderstood. Search the whole tent.
Hoid carefully looks through the "doorway" into the next chamber of the tent. There is a bed, a chest and a stand for armor. He sees no one there. Pushing the curtain aside with his too-long sword he enters.
The rear third of the tent has a small bed with a cotton mattress, sheets and pillows. There is a stand to hold her armor and weapons and a large chest. The chest is made of hard wood with iron bands. A locking mechanism is on the front center of the chest.
How large and heavy is the chest? As in too big for one person to carry (ignoring weight)? Key type lock or something else?
It is a large chest with a key requiring lock on the front. It is heavy and bulky. You could drag it out, but carrying would be too much for you alone.
Hoid will ask Ballodon, “Are the keys on that ring yours? I’ve found a locked chest and despite my prodigious skill with locks, a key would be simpler.”
Ballodon’s key ring has but two keys. Both were used on the locks securing the shackles. They look the wrong shape to fit the lock.
Hoid will ask each of the prisoners starting with Olea, then Tholin, then the redcloaks where the key is.
Olea - Ignores you
Tholin - Ignores you.
Bandit6 - “No idea what key you are talking about.”
Bandit13 - “Go ask them,” nodding to Olea and Tholin.
