It seems your little depressed gnome is fine with a swift death. He drives his own blade into the spine of the other man cutting through and slaying him with one swift motion. Again its one thing to kill a man, another to send him to be eaten alive by a monster -- who's the real monster.
Then he remembers who these men are and all the chances they might have had to not be such terrible men. He shrugs, "Oh well, everyone has to eat." He backs up and returns to the room where the men were and gives it a good rummaging through.

It took a few moments for the nothic to realize the group is providing the Redbrands as its food. The creature then telepathically says, "No eats. Red bring food. Trick." The one-eyed creature moves to attack.

"Can't say we didn't try," Sasha shrugs, flinging an eldritch blast at the creature. Killing it felt just, somehow.

Grogg isn't sure what is going on in the chaotic brains of his allies, failing to understand their motives or actions. All he is sure of is that the Nothic is going to eat them, and he objects to that happening.
He rushes forward, calling upon the raging power of his blood to smite this unnatural creature. It is an affront to nature, and must be slain.

Lorenzo conjures a small ball of fire between his hands and then flings it at the enemy.

"What? But--"
Were it not for Grogg's charge, Arveene would have continued to stand there slack-jawed and take a swipe to the gut from one of the monster's clawed hands. She bolts toward the nearby cave pillar and says, "Sunny, hide! Watch out for its eye-blasts! Serpentine!" Wait. Were they blasts, or beams? Or does it cook you with heat waves, like the sun? Does she even know what she's saying?
She casts Faerie Fire just before ducking around the side of the pillar.

Moving quickly to shield herself from the nothic, she begins a song of inspiration hoping to boost Grogg's moral and well-being.

The gnome, clearly not named Sunny, sighs, "I knew this was a bad idea. Its always a bad idea." He can't attack the Nothic from here, nor does he wand to attack the thing with his dagger; that's just a little too close for him. So he switches from blade to bow and stays down out of the way, hidden behind the post as much as he can.

The Deep Gnome fires an arrow at the bound, beaten up, and drunk Redbrand knocking him unconscious alongside the three others.
The last remaining Redbrand sees his companions unconscious at his feet. Then he glances around and finds himself trapped. With no option remaining, he steps over his companion and tries to enter the crevasse in hopes to avoid dying today. As he steps over his friend, he trips and falls head-first down the 20 feet deep embankment. When his body reaches the bottom of the crevasse, it lays silent and motionless...
The nothic stands in fear of the half-orc. While the creature may not be the smartest being in the manor, its smart enough to know when to flee so it can survive. The creature takes off running across the bridge to the other side of the chamber.
As it turns, Grogg quickly slashes with his scimitar cutting it once more. The nothic moves down and quickly across the other bridge alongside Sasha. She then strikes at it with her longsword, cutting it once more. Meanwhile, Arveene stabs and pierces the nothic. The creature then runs out of the hidden entrance leaving a long bloody trail.
Just as the company breathes a sigh of relief, a large, furry humanoid appears behind Lorenzo and says "What's all the noise! What's going on in here!"
Behind the bugbear are two other bugbears and a weakly looking goblin that looks like he's had a really bad day. The goblin is holding a bucket of water and rags. Each of the bugbears wields a large spiked club, called a morningstar. The door to the unsearched room is now opened leaving the group to assume they were in the barracks.
With three surprised bugbears and a goblin standing in the hallway, the heroes now react ...

Sasha spins around and throws another Eldritch blast, this time at the first bugbear into the area.
