Not yelling "Dibs on the 3 stooges. But I will admit, if it comes to blows, I would like to have a little distance from the pit edge. They clearly are aware of us, I'm in favor of meeting them part way down. Might tell us a bit more about what we are up against. That or we attempt throwing someone acrossed." (or atleast throw them to be within 30 feet... tossing a heavy ended rope the distance wouldn't be too hard, getting accrossed a suspended rope maybe be difficult however...)
"Enough, mortal," Armeros intones, his voice echoing unnaturally through the chamber, amplified and distorted by thaumaturgy. Hopefully he can at least shake a portion of the man's soldiers. "You claim to despise bloodshed? Then you and your men should know this: If a battle begins here, it will not end with your 'warriors' standing victorious. It will end with their bodies twisted and burning, their souls dragged screaming into the hells to be bartered over like scraps of meat. We will not merely swing weapons against you. No, we will break you in ways you do not yet have the capacity to fear."
Rikas turns towards the others before addressing the comments. "You know, he does make a good point... And despite everything in my bones that say to stab him in his knees... I think sitting down and talking, will be our best chance to escape."

"Yeah! What he said!" Taxidea yells. "C'MON AND GET SOME YOU BIG UGLY SACKS OF CRAP!" (still holding his action)

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Armeros lowers his voice. "The last time someone threatened us so much and didn't attack, they turned out to be an illusion. Can anyone tell if they are real?"

Jasmine whispers, "I can try and get close enough to them and see."
Since Jasmine is invisible she will try to get closer to the gang and try to figure out if they are illusions or not.
There are at least 30 or so men, crowded into the hallway, several of them still on the top steps.
I assume by that you mean Flynt is investigating the star? Flynt, discovering that standing on the start makes the voices stop, probably at some point will stand on it for a while. The longer he stand on it, the more the area around him transforms, into a stark, barren, and cold field. The grass is brown, clearly dead. There are no trees or bushes, and as far as he can tell there is no end to the field. He turns around, interested in his finding, and though it wasn't there before there is a huge mountain behind him, housing the biggest, blackest, most fiery gateway he has ever seen. Beyond the massive stone pillars on either side, (clearly constructed by the hands of a master(s)) is nothing but the thundering sounds of hammers on anvils and picks on stone. (At his feet is a circle of floor from the tower, the start still sitting there.)
The man in blue visibly gulps, but he stays his ground, moving neither back or forward. Several of the men however are more notably shaken.
Jasmine makes it back no problem.
At this point, the man hides any reaction from Armeros's message, and calls over impatiently. "I don't take kindly to being put on hold. Are you going to surrender, or fight?" His three barbarian gladiator guys take several steps forward, their axes in a comfortable position. (They are still out of range of Taxidea's fireball.)
Armeros listens intently to Jasmine's report, keeping his attention on the approaching barbarians. "Real, eh...? I think Badger could decimate the rank and file with fireball if we get him close enough. There's just these brutes in the way...Or we can try surrendering and blow them up later. It'll be a bit awkward now that I've terrified them, but Rikas you may be right. Thoughts?"
(Can we see how many men there are?)

Intimidation with advantage from thaumaturgy: 25
((Rikas was 100% yelling across this pit haha))
Rikas turns towards the others before addressing the comments. "You know, he does make a good point... And despite everything in my bones that say to stab him in his knees... I think sitting down and talking, will be our best chance to escape."
I don't have a signature.

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
(Just waiting to see if anyone may want to change what they do, or do something in reply to Rikas?)
Armeros lowers his voice. "The last time someone threatened us so much and didn't attack, they turned out to be an illusion. Can anyone tell if they are real?"

Jasmine easily approaches, I assume staying at least a little bit away?
Wisdom check please. (Not saving throw)
Just WIS or Perception?
Uh, you can do perception if you'd like.
Perception: 21
They are most certainly not illusions.
Okay... How many of them are there?
Locked away in his formless void of a prison, Flynt continues to inspect the only other tangible item within this space.
**This Space for Rent**

((Did Armeros' Intimidation do anything?))
Jasmine is going to head back and inform the party of what she saw.
Oh, sorry, forgot about this.

Just so you guys don't have to go back, Rikas suggested sitting down and talking being the best course of action.
