As Raya listens at the door, she can hear the sounds of men - a rattling sound, then men shouting and yelling, some groaning. It sounds like they are playing some sort of game.
Delg makes sure the Redbrand is tied and gagged securely and leaves him in the room the bugbears were in. He'll tie the Redbrand to a bed frame and close the door.
As Melkias tries to open the door quietly, it squeaks loudly on its hinges, drawing the attention of the 4 men inside. Glancing around quickly, he can see several worn tables and chairs scattered around this large room. Wooden benches are drawn up against walls decorated with draperies of brown and red, and several ale kegs are propped up and tapped. Four tough-looking human warriors wearing scarlet cloaks are gathered around one of the tables. A stack of coins and trinkets is heaped upon the tabletop between them.
At the sound of the door, they all look at Melkias. One snarls, standing up quickly and placing his hand on the sword at his side. "Intruders," he growls at the others, who are slower to react.
Raya reacts to the one who yelled "intruders". Raya will hug the wall. She'll reach into her pocket and grab 3 stones; her hands swirling in arcane magic while she mutters a few arcane words and casts magic stone.
As her action, Raya will throw a stone at the Redbrand that yelled "intruders" : Attack: 6 Damage: 6
Ajax suddenly goes into action: he goes close to Melkias (at the bottom left corner) and open his arms clumsly, saying
YOU, STOP, FOOL!
Paladin's oath: ABJURE ENEMY on the furthest enemy (the one who is close to what looks like a door): he must do a WIS save: On failure, the creature is frightened and its speed is reduced to 0 (and it can't benefit from bonuses to speed) for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. On success, the creature’s speed is halved for 1 minute or until the creature takes any damage.
Then adds to the others:
we are new recruits, don't you see the cloaks?!
But if they ostinate and go towards him: REACTION because of polearm feat: Attack: 11 Damage: 13
Raya steps against the wall, muttering, then hurls a stone at one of the men. It misses, glancing off the table. Delg bursts through the door, swinging his hammer at the closest man. He hits the man squarely in the side of the head and the man growls in pain and anger. Ajax moves into the room, shouting, "You, stop! Fool! We are new recruits, don't you see the cloaks?"
WIS save: 4
As he speaks the man standing at the back of the room looks confused for a moment, then suddenly his face clears.
"Well, whyd'a burst in the room like that, then?" he says. "The boys and I were just playing some knucklebones. You want in? Be warned, Thane is cheating," he says, glaring at one of the men. Thane, holding his head, glares back at the man. "I am not cheating," he hisses. "What'd ya hit me for?" he growls at Delg.
Melkias steps in the room and brushes himself off.
"Terribly sorry, mate. I didn't recognize the voices of my fellows for a moment there. Been a helluva day. Count me in for a game, if you like giving money to me, am I right boys and girls?"
He winks at Ajax, as if he realizes what Ajax had in mind.
"Aces and Boxcars wild? Or normal rules?"
(Melkias is going to attempt to keep them distracted so that Ajax can get into position to do...whatever. We'll start with a persuasion roll of 19 and see where that takes us)

The men around the table look at Melkias, all of them swaying a bit, even seated, and he realizes they are all drunk. The standing one sits down again and motions with his hand. "Sit and join, if you've the coin," he says to Melkias. The other men s****** and begin drinking from the tankards on the table. One of them raises his mug, a bit of ale sloshing out as he does. "New recruits, eh?" he slurs. "Glasstaff didn't mention new recruits, 'ceptin' for those hairy brutes," he mutters.
Ajax lets Melkias join the table, while he cheers with the others (if there is free mug).
After some minutes and when the tension disappeared:
Yes, we are new, we come from (CITING THE TOWN WHERE THE PRISONER WE INTERROGATED CAME FROM): a friend of mine with broken bones came home: his name is (NAME OF THE PRISONER INTERROGATED), he said he was not able to work anymore and that Redbrands needed recruits...and here we are...even if...to tell you the truth...he is been quite unclear...what are we supposed to do to get paid? What's in Glastaff's mind, you that came to know him?
"Ah well, you know how it is, boss makes a gold, we make a copper, We'll only hear about it if it's a whopper. We're like...brand new. I would have been shocked if you DID hear about us already. He said to wait for him here, he'd call us when he's ready for us. Whatever that means."
He strides over to the Redbrands as if he belongs there, and takes a seat. He outstretches his hand.
"My name is Gee Buttersnaps. These are my associates."
"Longbranch Pennywhistle," he says pointing at Delg.
"Scrooge Jones", pointing at Ajax.
"and Clementine Woolysocks" he says pointing at Raya.
He pulls out a few gold coins, lays them out on the table, clinks a few together to bring their attention back to him, and says,
"Money talks, tomfoolery walks."

"I could waste time explaining why." Delg reaches into a side pouch and pulls out a small leather cup with a lid. He opens it and shakes out a cloth bag. The outline of dice, packed tight so as to not to make noise, is visible. "Or I could spend the time not making it up to you."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Raya (Clementine Woolysocks) is not interested in playing and will just stand back and watch. While doing so, she'll pace around pretending she's nervous and try to see what's in the barrels and crates to the side of the room.
Perception: 17

((So the consensus is heading to the north door where Raya heard the men?))
ooc: sure.
Raya starts heading to the door where she previously heard people behind it. She will listen at the door again.
As Raya listens at the door, she can hear the sounds of men - a rattling sound, then men shouting and yelling, some groaning. It sounds like they are playing some sort of game.
Delg makes sure the Redbrand is tied and gagged securely and leaves him in the room the bugbears were in. He'll tie the Redbrand to a bed frame and close the door.
Melkias will-as silently as possible-crack open the door to take a peek inside and get a handle on the situation.
