Eovin and Alan both paused at moments as the three heroes, and cousin Zenythin, crept up the stairs to the ground floor.
The little pixie tugged at Selythin's collar, making the elven knight duck as a sinister shadow passed. Alan peeked around the corner, raising finger to lips.
Eventually, the small group managed to pass without detection.
Ahead of the stairs, there were...more stairs. These led further up into the castle. (These go UP to the second floor. I'll need another stealth check with two out of three successes if you wish to continue UP.)
To the left, there was a dark corridor. There was a large double door at the end, as well as two "secret doors" on either side that were incredibly easy to spot. All three doors were locked, but could be picked or broken.
The group could hear a quiet argument happening on the opposite side of the large doors. "More hobgoblins, no doubt..." Whispered Zenythin.
To the right of the stairwell, the other way, the heroes could see the bottoms of enormous trees and other foliage that grew up through the floor into the upper reaches of the castle. This is where Eovin had spotted Chaos beasts in the branches.

Selythin tried to be quiet as the group goes up to the next floor, but it is obvious it isn’t his forte.

Eovin flies close to each of the band to tell them where she saw the chaos beasts. She's a little nervous about them and may or may not have kept her voice to a whisper.

"Well, I'd rather we not have to deal with reinforcements should we make our way up to the 3rd floor, so I think we'll have the eliminate them before we proceed. I vote the hobgoblins; they will be far more likely to summon reinforcements first."

Eovin started to flit silently toward the stairs up to the next level above. Selythin clattered in his armor and got a hissing "shhhh!" from the pixie and tailor-turned-would-be-royalty.
Cousin Zenythin put his hand on Selythin's armored shoulder. "Perhaps the changeling princess is right, cousin. What if we're set upon from below just as we join in battle with the wizard Fib'Karna? I'd be more comfortable knowing if we've got enemies on our tail."
The slender elf stayed pinned against the wall, gently guiding Selythin back into hiding.

Selythin revisits his eagerness to favs the mage. “Agreed, let us cover our backs before we go to the top. Robin, show us the closest hobgoblin”

Alan nodded, accepting without comment the descriptor, and laid a hand on his rapier in preparation.

"Makes sense to me," Eovin whispers.

Eovin knew there were no hobgoblins in the trees, which meant the party only needed to check the handful of rooms near the castle's front entrance.
There were three doors in that corridor. Two of them, one north and one south, were partially exposed, former "secret doors" that had long been discovered and marked, probably by the hobgoblins or the wizard above. The last was a double door leading to the foyer.
All the doors were locked. Someone could pick the lock or bash any or all three down, although it'd make some noise.
Speaking of noise. All three heroes could hear muffled speech, maybe an argument, coming from behind the double doors leaving to the castle entrance.
(Let me know which door you go for and give me a dexterity check for picking lock or strength check for breaking it down. If you're confused, the area I'm describing is on the map I posted a while back.)
