"What's our best way to quietly approach this? Otherwise one screaming lady will roust the entire castle."
Zelera nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the Lady is the priority. I can take a short time to prepare a few more of my prayers that might help," she looked at Niadroub, "if we are willing to do without much in the way of magical support of course. What better way to restrict a bard than to take away their voice?"
"Well, you do have at least one man who's quite good at quietly catching a fool unawares," Colwyn says as he helps Numesti reclaim and don his gear.
"Our real concern should be the inferior baron, Drelev. We don't know where he's lurking, so we need to keep alert. For all we know, we could blunder into one of those rooms just to find him schtupping one of those two women."
All the same, Colwyn votes for intercepting and neutralizing Lady Quintessa Maray first.
"When we do find Drelev, we don't want her around to provide back up."
The party goes up the stairs and heads to M40 to confront Lady Quintessa, assuming they don't encounter any guards along the way. Numesti and Waffles will wait outside of M37 to make sure Baroness Drelev stays confined to her room.
With a nod, Vibenia checks her crosbow before slipping forward like a living shadow, practically imperceptible from the moment her companions blink, moving to Lady Quintessa's room.
Seeing Vibenia all but disappear up the steps in front of them, Niadroub Kliip hooks his thumb at the ranger while looking at Colwyn. His eyebrows shoot up in a silent question.
By way of response, Colwyn follows behind Vibenia as quietly as possible. He slides his rapier from its sheathe in preparation for a close quarters encounter.

What are you doing now?
Zelera followed as quietly as she could and it seemed that the Lantern King smiled upon the mischief she was about to be involved in as her steps were as silent as she could possibly be! When they were about to enter the room she held a hand up and indicated she was ready to cast the spell to stop sound around them.
"Care to check the door for any sing of a trap before we move in, My Lord" Vibenia whispers as they prepare to enter the room. "Or shall I just kick it in once the silence is up?"
"Not trapped or locked. Cast the Silence as quietly as possible and lets go" Whispers Colwyn

With the command given Zelera spoke the prayer, "King of jests, Laughing Liar, cover our mischief in Silen-," as the last work was said it was cut of by a sudden, unnatural, silence as she drew her dagger.
As all sound suddenly ceases, Vibenia nods, as much an acknowledgment to herself as her companions. While the spell would give them the best chance, both of taking the woman out without alerting others, and in negating the bard, it would also leave the ranger without her own magic. She would have to depend purely on her skill and weapons if it came to a fight.
Taking a deep breath, she puhes in the door to the room, entering immediately to make space for her companions to follow, weapon up and trained on the first identifiable target in the room.
