So, last night the party had inveigled their way into Rivergard Keep barracks and bedded down for the night. An hour or so later, once everyone (bar the two on watch) were asleep, the party monk cast Pass Without Trace on the whole party (+10 on Sneak rolls) and they proceeded to slaughter the other occupants.
We've always ruled that after casting Sleep the monsters can be dispatched by slitting the throat without needing a roll. So I figured that would be the case here. There was some discussion at the table as we agreed they had to make an attack roll with ADV to hit AC 10 (people in bed asleep do not wear armour).
They have cleared out most of the keep garrison while barely breaking a sweat.
In the cold light of day it all seems a bit easy. Especially as Pass Without Trace lasts an hour. I'm tempted to have it wear off just as the enter the keep.
How do you handle sleeping monsters in your game?
