You know that your target and his 4 compatriots are staying in a penthouse-like suite that makes up the fifth floor of the huge, upscale inn, with a balcony that overlooks the water. Because of its location by the sea, the roof of the building is fortified, and there are towers four towers nearby (forming the fifth and sixth floors otherwise). Three more towers are on more inland areas of the building, and all are manned by soldiers. there are a handful of soldiers patrolling the roof at all times.

Elone nods. "I suggest we adjourn to our private room, that we might make specific plans. As Solonor's eyes are everywhere, so are the eyes of our enemies."
Assuming they move to the room. Elone naturally seems to fall into the stance of skirmish leader.
"We need a full accounting of skills, items and spells. We have to know what we have to work with. Solonor will provide, but he needs our help."
She peers at each person, especially those she doesn't know.
"Myself, I am skilled with the bow, and have the gifts that Solonor has granted to me - I can summon Searing Light, I can turn away the undead with some skill, though not as well as others, I can guard us from evil. My only real item of use to the party is this...."
She reaches into her thigh quiver and, against logic, pulls out a large long bow.
"An unskilled archer can use this bow, and they will not often miss."
OOC: I don't think I've made up my xp gap yet, so I can't make any holy water.

The main roof is 35 feet high (4 story building) The white area (which is ten feet high) is the extra floor that the baddies are staying in (10 more feet high). Those doors are apparently the only way in (windows are barred). The towers go up another two floors before tapering into cones. There are arrow slits on the towers. the G's represent guards. The things in front of the building are balconies. the middle one is a roof balcony; the others are below. The wood in front of the building is dock, and the blue is water. the black is paved road and the borwn is dirt.

Well, I'm currently waiting for any sort of response to my inventory - I'd like to know what we've got before planning.

"well...I am more fond of lore than combat; perhaps I can take a look about the place before we begin...that may aid in the battle."
Kelnar casts all of his divination spells for the day to get a lay of the land...especially the penthouse suite.

(rather than exposit everyone having to exposit on their powers, here they are:
Ubaar: Master wrestler and swordsman. He might be able to do enough raw damage to behead (you guys don't know the formula) or might work if blessed, but his main strength is in pinning a vamp to get staked. He also has L5 cleric casting, so can heal and cast a small searing light (5d8).
Alex: Duelist, light/fast fighter. Mainly uses a rapier. Blessing could make it work. Decent with bows becuase he is dex-based.
Elone: as above
Ahkaros: Big falcion could do dmg if holy, and might behead. Hreath Weapon: 6d4 acid MIGHT damage vamps, as some are vulnerable to acid and/or fire.
Kelnar: Standard mage. Many possible uses
Emcat: Not high enough level for spells that create real sunlight, but has a variety of useful druid goodies. Quarterstaff elegable for staking.

Elone nods. "So be it. We must find our way in to this room. I have two thoughts on this - I have a brooch which will allow me to blend into the shadows - I can likely make it there unobserved, but only myself. The rest of us might be able to get there as well. Other than that, I might be able to take up a position with a clear line of sight to the balcony - if we could drive him (she grins at Ubaar) or carry him there, I could possibly put an arrow through his heart to stake him."
