You don't need to roll grapple again, only the one being grappled (unless one of us has it as a house rule).
Gaaz was unable to break free of the grapple. "Hand me to the genasi then! If you want to, just do it! But you'll need to get to the other side of this path eventually. Just head into those woods, it's easier that way. Only me and my friend there were here to ambush, the captain won't notice we're gone for hours. Just go through the woods! Please, hand me to the genasi after, but don't kill me, please..." Please roll insight (if wanted) on what specifically he's feeling right now.

Darath readies his trident in case the hobgoblin attempts to escape again. He trusts the judgement of his fellow party members and focuses on making sure Gaaz stays in Glendare's grasp.

Sarath sees all of Gaaz's hope drain from him, watching this mayhem take place.
"Trust me when I say, you can beat those hobgoblins. I just don't want to be there and see it... Turn me in already..." Gaaz is now just in an emotional wreck

Salty has seen hardened men die without remorse, but the sight of this hobgoblin shaken with fear and regret… Salty turns away and cannot face it, “You two do whatever you will, I no longer want anything to do with this person.”
Then Gaaz I believe you've been hired to lead us for the next bit. Shall we continue on? How many are there at your encampment? Do you have guards posted?
Glendare releases him and invites him to lead Gaaz down the road towards his former companions while continuing to learn what they're facing.
"There's probably five of us at the encampment, and two orcs, the captain keeps them around as bodyguards. They aren't ever doing their jobs properly, always playing cards. I suppose that's why I never manage with keeping my share of coppers... Anyhoo, the captain has a sort of cave he stays in for the most part, one orc with him, the other outside of the cave. The captain and orcs will know of the main base, this is only an outpost. Oh, and I should say, the camp is short off the path, I will point out the footway, but I suppose you want me to stay behind. I sure do... " Gaaz makes hand gestures with his hands (obviously) to show the rough layout of the outpost. Roll investigation. If your score is over 12, you gather that there is a small camp fire short off of the cave entrance, and that most hobgoblins sit at these logs and stumps next to it.

"Sounds like a situation where we'd want to divide and conquer." says Darath. "Or see if we could catch the captain unawares outside of his cave." He asks, "What do you two think?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
It's only right to take care of this problem. I vote we protect our roads and remove this problem. There's three hobgoblins, two orcs and three Captain. Tell me, gaaz, what type of being is this captain.
"Well, you'll know you've found the Captain when you see him. He's much stronger than us, and he has his two greatswords, 'Dread'and 'Doom', that's what they're called. I suppose he is only ever in danger when alone. He can command his orcs for hitting more often, and when he's near one, he can hit hard!" Gaaz is a little scared of what the campground will look like by the end of this attack.

"I suppose that's your choice. It'd be hard but beneficial going straight for the cave, 'cause if anyone escapes, my card playin' pals'll be after you like the orcs do sheep. Hehe, orcs chasing sheep..." Gaaz's voice trails off as he imagines the two orcs chasing around wild sheep like sheperd dogs.

"Aside from Salty, we're not the most stealthy." says Darath, "So if getting into the cave requires being undetected, would likely lead to us fighting the whole force at once." He thinks for a moment, "Are there any hills or whatnot nearby the camp? Perhaps we could find some logs or rocks that could be rolled down as an opening salvo?"
"The camp is on flat ground, but I'm sure you can get into the cave easily, it's just whether my kind hears you. If they do, you'll be cornered in the cave, otherwise, , is just the orcs and captain. Oh, there is that weird rock you can hide behind! It's quite big, and there's only ever one hobgoblin allowed up there at a time. Use that!"

"No, it's just that the captain says only one of us can sit on there at a time... I'd say two of you could stand behind it. Well? What are you waiting for?" He points to the left of the trail you are all taking. "See the top o' that rock over there? Squint and you can see the lumpy figure of Tiss on it. Looks like she fell asleep. Well, that's the closest the path brings you. Get prepared."

Salty that's genius. Big enough for one hobgoblin, you say? So, Gaaz sized?

Saltstrider uses stealth to sneak up and subdue the Tiss.
stealth. 12
attack. 13. Advantage for surprise/stealth/asleep
damage (non-lethal). 14
As Glendare waits for Salty's signal (rock rolling), he looks at Gaaz "will you help us, stay out, or do I need to tie you up?"
He readies himself and prepares for the attack.
