Silva and Videl returned and informed the others about the path they could use so the bandits wouldn't detect them. Silva then led the group to the other side of the mountain while at the same time scouting the area. He showed his ability to the fullest and led dozens of people to the summit without being seen by the bandits.
When they were close to the summit, the sun had set, and it was getting really dark, and they couldn't use the torches to avoid being detected. They could see the light in the distance, which meant they were close to the bandits' hideout.
A few adventurers scouted the area around the hideout, which was a massive flat land in between two summits with a small lake. A perfect place for people to hide and live unnoticed. They looked at the bandits who were lazing around and counted the numbers while they looked for the prisoners.
