Yes, Salem told them to use diplomacy and not fight the bandits but I really hope they fight. Anyways, if those three fights happen it would definitely draw enough grimm to destroy all the bandits. yeah i don't think diplomacy is quite their style to be honest. Cinder's way of doing things is prettymuch "Do what I ask or else I use my Maiden Powers on you. Also it would more likely be Cinder vs Vernal Technically, Salem never said to use diplomacy.

She said "Cinder, you and your team will meet with Doctor Watts, and together, convince Raven Branwen that the survival of her people depends on her cooperation."

I pretty much take that as a very polite way of saying "Go threaten the lives of the Branwen tribe so they'll let you take the Spring Maiden." Like, what Salem said was literally "Go tell Raven that, if she doesn't cooperate with us, we'll kill her people."
