"I'm a fan of dealing with as few at a time as possible. All nine would be suicide, and even four will be rough." Liet replies, adding "sneaking up could work, though they're all talking, we'll need to be quiet."
((Sounds like a solid strategy. Keep in mind though, I said you SAW nine. I never said there WERE nine, there could very well be more. you only saw a part of the cave.))
Looking around Liet says "Well.. let's try to be quiet and head in to put the first group to sleep. After they fall over if we all work fast we may be able to bind and gag them. From there we can worry about the other groups." He then walks over to Steve, puts a hand on his shoulder giving him guidance and says "Follow me. But stay quiet!" He then leads the party and starts to sneak in towards the smaller group.
Everyone creeps up to the entrance of the cave. As you all peer around the edges and down the hall you can see the split to the left which has one group, the split to the right which has another small group, and the straight corridor ahead where you can all clearly see several individuals talking and laughing. What do you do?
I'm assuming one of you casts sleep as soon as you can see a small group? Whoever casts sleep please roll for the amount of HP.
Then whoever is tying them up quickly (under 60 seconds) please roll... let's say a DEX, DC 10. ((I would encourage the help action in this. Two people roll DEX, two people help in some way, so each roll is at advantage, makes sense.))
As one of the two new comers looks around the corner and casts sleep on the group Liet will leap into action attempting to tie and gag those that fell asleep.
Both men slump to the ground soundly asleep without knowing what happened. The entire group manages to get next to them and tie them up and gag them without having been noticed, you think...
You find nothing particularly interesting. A few bed rolls, some discarded plates and scraps of food, a couple of packs with minor traveling supplies.
The men, like the others you have seen, don't look very health. Their skin is pale and sagging slightly. There are deep bags under their eyes. They look incredibly thin. You notice a part of a band peeking out from under one of the sleeping men's sleeve. As you notice it, the men start to wake.
"mmm...?" One man 'says' through his gag. A moment later his eyes go wide as he sees his other friend sitting right next to him also gagged. "MMM?!"
((They are not being terribly loud, but not being quiet))
Liet puts his finger over his mouth, in the universal 'shhhh' gesture and then quietly says to them "Look... we could have just killed you. You're tied up because we don't want trouble. Do us all a favor and stay quiet."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Steve
Steve, firmly but gently grabs the back of one of the men’s hair and pulls him nose to nose, eye to eye and with a slightly unhinged grin whispers, “Hi friend. This is simple. You get to live, and maybe some of your friends do as well -BUT you need to tell me one thing.. How many friends do you have here in this cave? Blink your right eye one time for each friend in the cavern to your right, left eye for the left. Easy?”
Them man that Steve grabbed looks around frantically. His 'colleague' kicks him (as well as he can, being tied up) in the shin. Once the second has the first's attention, he shakes his head side, and mumbles something akin to 'no'. The first turns back to Steve, and narrows his eyes. He mumbles something unintelligible, but you can be sure whatever it was, it wasn't nice.

Benagol simply helps
Frenevir will hold his spell and if the first one is effective he will go and tie the asleep bandits.
(DEX 4 with advantage 10)

So Steve is casting the spell first then?

”I got this guys.” Whispers Steve as he creeps closer...

Taking a breath after the quick work Liet looks around the room to see what they were working on, or sitting around.
