You follow the tracks deeper and deeper into the woods as the sun is setting. After about 30 minutes of walking, you spot what looks like a flickering torchlight in the distance.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Angorn creeps through the woods (will you consider woods as forest terrain? Since I am tracking I have this advantage "while tracking creatures, you learn the exact number, sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.") He keeps his arrow knocked watching for any sign of movement trying to gain any information he can before they get close enough to be seen. Investigation/nature check 17
The three of you head out, not really moving quietly. Angorn, you can discern that the light seems to be coming from a cave, you can hear some talking coming from the cave but you can't make out the words.
(Can I tell a rough estimate of how many people are in the cave?)
Angorn passes along the information about the cave and people talking.
We should try and come from the sides and stay under as much foliage as possible.
Angorn tries to creep closer so he can better see the terrain. ((stealth check17)) (What does this area look like, is it heavily wooded or is there a clearing in front of the cave?)
There is a very small clearing near the cave. You can see two people near the entrance which are those talking. The cave then goes deeper and you can't see more
Angorn makes his way over to the others two. He whispers to them what he saw.
There is probably several of them, if they can spare two for guard duty. Should we make our way back to camp and inform the others? Or try and gather more information?

”I don't see a reason to head back, it’s about a half hour walk, and the people that were dragged away might be being hurt while we go back, and even if we did, the best we could hope for is one extra person,” Kra-osh says while readying his Longsword for a battle, he also checks out what race the guards are. Perception if required: 2. Stealth if required: 11 (-3 & Disadvantage, hoo boy, here we go)
(Do you guys want to try and battle them? Asking cause im going to be real random with being since its memorial day weekend. Ill do it for sure just wont be quick responses like normal)
Kra-osh prays for a few seconds with his eyes closed, mumbling to himself, before he stops praying and turns to the rest of the party and whispers towards them ”I say we take them out, but not kill them, the longer we stay here the higher the risk to those peoples lives” He then waits for a response, while readying his longsword for a rush forward at the guards
Venny whisper "But we don't know how many there are of them. I think we should head back. But I will stay here if you two want to investigate a bit more."
(to go back and get back here will take about an hour)
Angorn, as you are all standing here discussing, you hear one of the guards speak louder than before, sounding pretty annoyed. "What did we do to deserve guard duty. They are about to start the ritual. We did most of the work getting the people here so surely we should be there for it"
Angorn stops short and his ears quirk a bit as he hears the guard talking Angorn sighs reluctantly and says, They are about to start a sacrifice using the captives... do we let them die and allow whatever sacrifice they are doing to be unleashed or try and save them?

(You get that benefit after travelling for an hour or more in your favoured terrain, it hasn't been that long)

Venny love being out in the forest but following after Angorn's more important than admiring the wiew. Walking silently 4

Kra-osh is in the middle of the group, not really paying attention, but still alert enough to strike anything that attacks us.

(What do I notice about the people? are they armed or armored? in case I need to perception roll 12)
(They are both armed and armoured, one longsword, one scimitar. And one in chain mail, one in a chain shirt with shield)

Send help pleaseOne guard looks small and stout so probably a dwarf, the other is taller, maybe human or elven. You can't work out much more than that.
