((Correct. Gandalon took down two on the far side. Trinjya, give me a Strength (Stealth) check. So STR mod, with proficiency if you've got proficiency in Stealth.))

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Morn nods, "Agreed. Let's move up. We'll have another six of those frogmen to deal with in the camp, correct Horatio? Plus the big boss." Morn scratches his head, "Perhaps if we take out leader, the others will disperse?" He then sneaks further up (Sneak: 16) and brings his mage hand with him to hide it in another bush for a potential distraction.
Trinjya tugs the body back into the shrubbery. It's a bit slow going, but she manages to do it reasonably quietly.
Samael's tucked back in the vegetation, so doesn't have the best view, but he listens carefully after they drop the patrol, and doesn't hear any sounds of alarm.
Morn keeps to the brush and moves up alongside Trinjya, shifting his mage hand. ((Didn't break cover, so I let you use your action to move the hand as your action. Let me know if you want things positioned differently.))
Gandalon goes invisible and Horatio, you know he's flying to the east.
From the various peeks you've had at the King, you know that the area between you and him is relatively open, and you'd be crossing between water and land to get there. Doing so stealthily would not be easy, as there are guards (orange dots) and servants (yellow dots) milling about, though the servants seem to be preoccupied with various labors, carrying baskets, gathering, cleaning, etc. It's also probably only a matter of time before one of the remaining patrols either stumbles across a body, Gandalon isn't able to put them down in one strike, or the King or someone else realizes that they've not seen any of the patrols moving recently...
Horatio will take this time to cast Silent Image, creating three visually identical copies of himself to flank him. Gandalon will fly off to try and assassinate the last remaining patrollers.
Morn moves up and behind the bush, his progress slowing as he hits the water, and a bit of a splash turning the head of the nearest servant frogman...
Horatio:
"I'm above the far side of that log boss, and he's comin', but if I drop him here, it's gonna be in the open... I can do it here, wait a while until he's closer to you guys and hit 'em, or fly up to the east and go after the last one that should be out there somewhere."
As Horatio ducks down and rustles some brushes, the servant nearest the party croaks and hops closer, calling out in their tongue. One of the guards leaps and lands next to it, spear pointed in your general direction as it sounds a rumbling croak that carries through the clearing.
It would seem they are aware that something is out there...
((Sorry to let you wait, times are bit crazy right now.))
Not much Trinjya can do with that distance. She will draw her dagger and prepare to throw it at the guard as soon as they get closer (by that I mean into meele range of the bush) to the bush Morn is hiding in or if one of the others attacks them. (hold action)

"My Imp will work on removing the last of the outer patrol-frogs. We should advance while we have the initiative, and the element of surprise!"

Trinjya will stay hidden and wait for the rest of the group to close up to her (or approached the camp from another direction).
samael is moving up, but being careful.
(Horatio will try his best to keep towards the center of the group with his mirror image clones.)

Morn tries to stealthily move up closer, moving to the nearby bush (2 right, 4 up - at the tip of the "fog") (Stealth: 6).
Morn moves up and behind the bush, his progress slowing as he hits the water, and a bit of a splash turning the head of the nearest servant frogman...
Horatio:
"I'm above the far side of that log boss, and he's comin', but if I drop him here, it's gonna be in the open... I can do it here, wait a while until he's closer to you guys and hit 'em, or fly up to the east and go after the last one that should be out there somewhere."

Horatio whispers with hushed excitement. "Take him now, Gandalon."
Attack: 22 Damage: 5 + 13 poison, DC 11 Con save, halved on success.
As the servant turns its head, Horatio dismisses the clones and ducks down as best he can and tries to stay still, with bated breath. (Stealth: 5)
As Horatio ducks down and rustles some brushes, the servant nearest the party croaks and hops closer, calling out in their tongue. One of the guards leaps and lands next to it, spear pointed in your general direction as it sounds a rumbling croak that carries through the clearing.

Trinjya silently curses the two idiots who carelessly gave away their position by making noises.
((How far from Trinjya are the two frogs? You said they jumped closer?))
