My take on the situation is very different. Or maybe a better way of putting it is that I have different expectations from the scenario?I mean...we're in a city patrolled by guards who have fairly accurate descriptions of our band. It's not a terrible shock that some guards got suspicious enough to make some ruckus, really. Considering the forces we unleashed on them, we're pretty lucky it ended with just that one encounter.As for the castle, it was never really my impression that stealth was something we were seriously trying to maintain. I mean, we waited for a decently opportune moment to go over, and used silence to try to give ourselves some breathing room...but the best laid plans... It's a castle full of guards. Only a very few of us are truly skilled at being stealthy. It was always going to come down to the assault...and when it did, it was never going to be anything but us versus the howling mob. If we'd wanted to be really sneaky, we could have done a lot more scouting...Valen could have expended some spells on distractions at the other end of the castle (or more likely Lutwidge, with his illusions and lightshows). There's things we could have done to facillitate that...but we opted for a more direct approach. Nothing wrong with that, but I think it then behooves us to accept what comes of it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
