"A slow burn should give us a good amount of time to review any other areas of this tower before leaving through the tunnel, but if we desire to stray into other areas, and use the fire as a distraction for that, the tunnel will be off limits. Still, if all are busy or concerned with the fire, we'd likely be able to walk through the front gates if we liked," Anton says. "Well, perhaps not quite so easily."
"So long as we have the fire to distract and our disguises to hide ourselves, going out the front gate should still be simple. We'll just walk over, slay the guards, and leave. If there's a stable we should take some of the horses for our own use, and stamped the rest. They'll either lose their cavalry or spend precious time and manpower chasing after them."
"I agree with the plans to set the fire and then see what else we can get away with. I do think leaving through the front door would be advisable. No reason to take the chance that our tunnel could be located."
As the group leaves the birds to their squawking, Dane shuts the door behind them. "I think an inspection of the main keep would be a fair idea at this point."
"Lead onwards. Let's see if other opportunities present themselves," Durova whispers to the group.
Anton shifts his disguise back to the generic guard that he had been posing as previously, before following the others.
Durova starts marching toward teh main keep, pretending he knew what he was doing, in his shiny illusionary guard outfit.
Dane looks about the room, "Let's keep going."
"While we're burning things let's get rid of their arrow supply."
Dane looks to Sion before suddenly laughing quietly. "Initially I was avoiding it to make sure it didn't look like arson, but I don't think that's an issue for us to worry about right now is it?" Dane shakes his head. "All in favor?"
"Not exactly our original goal, but might as well wreak whatever havoc we can while we are here. Who knows if this opportunity will reveal itself again."
Anton shrugs. "May as well, since it happens to be along our route. The more damage we do to their defenses, the better."
Stealth
"Keep going, I'll deal with this." Dane says to Durova as he whirls around to face the guardsmen. "The demon's here lads!" Dane calls out in response to the two and rushes forward his blade lashing out.
Initiative
Durova moves behind Dane, and casts guidance on him, making it a bit easier for him to hit the guards, doing his massive damage.
Dane nods, satisfied at the swift deaths of the guards. "Well then, back to the fire then we should move to the main keep, quickly."
"Lead on, Dane. We're at your back!". Durova follows the group, trying to look as if he belonged with the other guards.
"Indeed, but perhaps first toss the bodies into the flames. No need to make it easy to determine it was sabotage."
"That makes sense. Let's allow them to try and figure out what happened while looking at two piles of ash."
"Fine, let's do this quickly, the longer we're on this level the better the chance we'll be trapped."
Dane, looking at the map, begins looking around. "Will be a good way to see what these individual rooms correspond to." Then turning right, Dane enters the room immediately on his right.
Not wanting to speak, Anton instead points at Dane and then at the sleeping man, making a chopping motion with his hand and then sliding his finger across his throat. No point in my getting dirty when there is someone else who can do the deed... likely far better than I.
Durova nods as well, waiting for the large warrior to do his thing. If a door presents to be closed, he will attempt to do that, if it appears it can be done silently.
Perception
Dane watches the man, keeping an eye for any sign of hidden weapons, that the man is in fact awake, or any sign of treachery really. Then he slinks up on the man, and deals a swift blow to the neck.

The large man grimaces as the rhomphia bites into his shoulder and etches a red line down his chest, slinging blood.
So you must be this 'demon' i've been losing sleep over.
He holds the sword out, defensively. For all of his size, he moves well, leaving you no doubt that you're facing a seasoned warrior.
Dane swings once more, keeping his attack quick and furious, he breathing intensifies, but true to form he attempts to keep the battle as quiet as possible to avoid drawing attention.
