OOC: Okay, so are we set to leave through the secret passage or were we going to check if the guards have laid down their arms as ordered?

OOC: I think we're just going out the secret passage.

===== I think we should still tell them to disarm and if we hear them doing it we should begin sneaking out then

OOC: Okay, so we make Lareth do as Tristen ordered earlier - tell the guards to drop their weapons outside the door. We also give them a time frame to do that and tell them we'll be opening the door to check when the deadline has passed.
However, as soon as the first parley is done, we instead make (quiet) run for it through the secret passage. That way, the guards will still be busy out in the corridor and hopefully won't think to start spreading out to cut us off from any exits. Unless the bugbears or gnolls make trouble for us, we should be able to collect our merchants and make a clean getaway.

OOC: mind you to cut you off the guards have to go up a passage that still would be slightly behind you that or through the other passage that leads outside. I can try for a full map to show what I'm saying.

I can try for a full map to show what I'm saying. OOC: Well, yes they would have a ways to go unless they know about the secret passage and how to enter it, but we'll be herding a prisoner and the rescued merchants, while the guards know the exact layout of the place and won't have any trouble with the gnolls or bugbears if they run into them. From an IC perspective, I think it's reasonable for us to worry that they could at least catch up with us before we can get clear of the moathouse.

Lareth sighs and calls out through the blocked door to the guards outside "Disarm men." then quietly to the adventurers "Very well what else do you want of me?"
Through the door you can hear in the tone of the guard sergeant confusion "Master? Disarm? But why sir? Are you alright? We're coming in."

Tristen holds his still bare sword casually but firmly. Convince them.

Lareth in a stern shout "Do Not! I command you disarm and stay where you are. I am alright." he demands to the guards through the door.
There is the sound of weapons clanging to the stone floor on the otherside of the door and the Sargents voice "Yes sir! we have done as ordered."

Tristen nods to Lareth and the others and gestures silently for the party to go. He will seek to go second (steering/restraining Lareth while keeping his sword in-hand) so whomever goes first has their hands/weapons ready; but also so any opponents they happen upon see their master hostage as a deterrent

Roshek nods in reply and takes the lead as the group enters the secret passage. He keeps his mace and shield in hand.

Tristen goes close behind, controlling Lareth as described.

Moving forward Hekras takes a scout ahead and signals it is all clear it appears the guards obeyed orders and none of the other outside recruits have come to hinder your exit. Moving hasitly with your prisoner in tow you make it back to the secret stairs and the two merchants are still alive and waiting. They look very eager and thankful to see you all again. Once more Hekras takes a lead and scouts the stairs signalling it is clear he then pops out into the former bandit room and there is nobody in that room so he once more signals the clear sign to the group. Looking out to where the bugbear were earlier that lead you in from another entrance to this room you see they appear to have left as well.

Once the group is outside, Tristen will pass off care and cover of the leader to someone else willing. He will motion that he is going to scout a bit both to find their pack animals and be sure the bugbear are not lying in wait somewhere. He will have his bow ready

Roshek nods his assent and takes charge of Lareth.
"Keep a watch on the doors," he admonishes the others as Ciraneoth leaves.
