Much as I think it's unfair to bash a sleeping goblin's brains in, life ain't fair. And we have the greater good to consider. I will mime my intentions to the rest of the party.

Haha ok. I think etherio took the weapons because he wanted to sell them right? I didn't take any but can give him my dagger if he needs it.
As for the goblins, is there still like the old coup de Grace or do I just have advantage of I attack them?
From what I'm reading on DnDBeyond, you have advantage (unconscious beings are 'prone'), and any attack from within 5 feet (ie: melee) is an automatic critical (double damage dice). Also, they auto-fail saves against STR and DEX--which would make my Sacred Flame automatically hit. But since it requires a dex save and not an attack roll, it's not an "attack" and wouldn't crit. You get more bang for the buck hitting them with melee in this state.
Ran tip toes his way to the closer of the two goblins
[Stealth check 12]
He brings his rapier up and holds the pommel above the head of the goblin guard. Once an ally does the same with the other guard he strikes in unison, attempting to knock the goblin out.
[ 17 to hit, 7 damage, so a 14 crit. ]

Marten will sneak up with Ran (13 stealth), lofting his mace up high. somehow, he manages to completely whiff and miss the sleeping goblin (10 to hit).
[ooc---shoulda gone for the auto-hitting spell. lol!]

Ran and Erythro finish off one goblin while Marten bonks the other on the head, rattling his helmet and waking him up.
In goblin:
(Ty and Charity and Brad may still go in the surprise round before I even bother with initiative.)

"Ai! Fugwug! What was that for? Ai! Humans!"

And Renaer? 
Nobody has given him any weapons yet, but he's ready to punch something if necessary!And Renaer?
Lol, after this fight, can we assume he either gets rapiers and daggers from whichever of us took them, or picks up a weapon off the dead goblins? Someone offered him their dagger a couple pages back.
As long as whomever took them subtracts them! I just want the accounting done properly.
Ran accepts your wise and infallible judgement and will add the loot to his inventory. So sayeth the DM, so sayeth we all. Ahmen.
He also, immediately following this encounter, will give a dagger to everyone in the group. He also gives Ranaer (who is definitely with us) a dagger, rapier and leather armor if he wants it.

Charity
Watching the others move into action, Charity mutters a quiet prayer under her breath. "Great Mother, forgive me for this violence I'm about to inflict." As she does so, however, she already is hoisting a sizeable club from her belt, and whacks the remaining goblin in the noggin with a fierce strength.
Hitting remaining goblin with 24 for 17 damage, or 11 damage if it's not a crit.

Charity knocks the goblin senseless and he slumps to the floor, soundly back asleep.
"I'm not keen on leaving an unconscious goblin to wake up behind our backs. Lets truss him up first. I have rope."
I proceed to hogtie the goblin and rip some of his clothes to make a makeshift gag.

Done..also slinging my shield to my back and switching to my crossbow.
Ty and Erythro:
The pair walk down some stairs that turn right and pass under what must be the sewers. They can hear the sound of the muck running past above them. The passage opens into a room that contains six tattered, straw-stuffed mattresses and nothing of value. They can hear the sounds of grunting wood-on-stone scraping through the thin wooden door. Dulled voices murmur over the noises.

Listening at the door, the voices appear to be two different people.
"No, not like that!"
"Zemk, shut up. This thing is heavy."
"Get the blankets, you dolt!"

I agree..do it quietly. (I will move up to be near the door so that I can take action when necessary)
Erythro quietly opens the door to find six tattered, straw-stuffed mattresses in a rather large room. A duergar is berating a human...the same human from the Yawning Portal that was beaten senseless by Yagra.
"Shut up with the blankets," says the human.
"Will y'listen y'daft smooth skin?" says the duergar.
Two doors exit to the east of this room. Both of the people in the room have their backs turned, engrossed in their argument.

The pair whirl around.
"Krentz," says the duergar, "What is this?"
"I..." says Krentz, the human, "Wait, they were at the Portal."
"Why does that one look like you?!"
"Obviously they saw me at the Portal too, Zemk!"
Initiative order (with only a little fudging):
Everyone may go first in any order
Krentz and Zemk go
No map for this battle. It is close quarters, so everyone is within 30 feet of each other while they are in the room together.

I seem to recall the human thug went down pretty easily in the bar. I'll focus my attention on the dwarf.
[Crossbow, 6 to hit.]
Marten looses a crossbow bolt, but all the jostling at the doorway throws his aim and it goes wide.
