"Yeah, it was over by this barrel on the far side...", Korrik says before entering the silence and gesturing to be followed to the NW corner. Once Willard has entered the silence, and Ben plunges the room into darkness, things pop off!

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Assuming Willard is a human, without darkvision, would Ash get advantage as an unseen attacker? If not, use first rolls. All attacks ‘non-lethal’. She draws her second dagger too...
(I am going to assume that Willard and Kay discussed where the 'thing' was before entering the room or Willard wouldn't have been able to ask where it was in there)
Yeah I'm not even going to roll for Willard's initiative... At minimum, Kay and Ash would both get their attacks in as Willard would be surprised for round 1. Kay, the moment the lights go out, you crack him with your staff in the head. It would normally make a loud 'crack!' but the spell is still in effect. A moment later, Ash's dagger handle smacks his temple, and he falls to the ground, KO'd.

When they pull Willard out Ben will say,
"Great work. He looks about your size Ash?"
While they are stripping Willard he will check out the boss's office.
Investigation:11
When he comes out he will say,
"Okay, I am going to go out there and get some information on the layout and others here. If I can i will try and bring one or two back here to jump. Sound okay?"
"Hey, just throwing the idea out there... But we've got skeletons maybe guarding untold riches on one side, and some nasty pieces of work on the other... Maybe we open the secret door in the other room, open the Danger Door™, and retreat back here? Let the skellies and the gang take each other out?"

Ash nods, “Yes, I can make that outfit work... Ben, do you mind giving it the once over with your cleaning-magic, before I put it on? Thanks...”.
Once Willards armour is off, and cleaned, Ash will put it on over her thin, cloth garments, cinching in the buckles and belts a little, to get it fitting nice. ((leather armour obtained?)).
She will also search the body. ((In particular, she’s looking for any other weapons, especially ranged weapons. The old image had a hand crossbow, but I guess that’s not here?!))
Investigation: 7 (passive 13, +2 more for perception)
((are there any ranged weapons obvious in the room here? Bows, crossbows, etc?))
While she’s dressing, she’ll say, “How about we put him curled up in one of the beds? And find a few cups of wine-dregs, from over there, to place around him? Spill a bit on his front! Like he’s been drinking and shirking duties! In case anyone finds him and tries to rouse him?”.
"I actually quite like the idea of letting the skeletons out. I still think I should have a look first, but this sets two problems against each other."
He will help clean Willard's gear for Ash.
"Feel free to check this office while I am checking..."
Ben, you open the door to the 'boss's office' and do your inspections.
Unlike the barracks, this small room holds comfortable furnishings and appears to be well cared for. A comfortable-looking bed in the northwest corner has a wooden locker at its foot. A small wooden table stands against the east wall, with a padded leather chair beside it. On the table, a brass three-branch candlestick with three burning candles provides the room with bright light. The candles, though not fresh, are far from spent.
Under the table is a small wooden box and an unlit bullseye lantern with a movable shutter over the lens. The lantern seems to be used infrequently.
On a shelf above the table sit three books. In the northeast corner is a closed wooden wardrobe.
Books:
- A volume of erotic poetry, fully illustrated - A naval almanac listing tide times for the area of coast around Saltmarsh (a total of one hundred miles of coastline is covered) - A treatise concerning the demigod Iuz and its minions
Inside the third book is a sheet of parchment featuring a few simple words and phrases in the Common tongue and their equivalents in Goblin. The words include “stop,” “fight,” “lift,” “come,” and so forth.
Ash, you do indeed find a [Tooltip Not Found] on Willard. :)
Ash, none of the footlockers are trapped. All of them are locked.
Ash will set about unlocking all the footlockers and checking what’s inside, while Ben is checking out the other room... ((I’ll roll 10x thieves tools checks))...

Ben will ready his crossbow in case it looks like Willard is going to get past the other three.
Assuming Willard is a human, without darkvision, would Ash get advantage as an unseen attacker? If not, use first rolls. All attacks ‘non-lethal’. She draws her second dagger too...

Willard will come to in 3 hours.

Ash, none of the footlockers are trapped. All of them are locked.
Erotic poetry is quickly and quietly put in Ben's bag.
The rest he shows to the others along with the parchment.
"What do you think that is about? The boss has a latern in there and some nautical things. Maybe you can make more sense of it Kay."
As he looks at the danger door he says,
"How about this, I check the layout out there and come back. I yell "Oh no skeletons" we open the door and hide in the cellar?"
((Hehe... what? What is it??!... What did she find?! Lol.... . “Ash, you do indeed find a [Tooltip Not Found] on Willard. :) “ ))
