There's plenty of story-based reasons how it could be done.I don't see any reason why any of my suggestions (other than whispering) would make noise. There's no reason to assume that they'd give away your position, unless you want to rule that way. But you're choosing to make how the rules work "make no sense" - they don't make no sense on their own.Just because you think something might reveal your position doesn't mean that it automatically would. In this case, it's not unreasonable (IMO) that it wouldn't, and the rules say it wouldn't, so why would I need to change that?It's also playing Dungeons & Dragons to accept what the rules tell you is happening, and tell stories around that. You can choose your narrative first, and change the rules when you don't like what they're telling you is happening, OR you can accept what they tell you is happening and tell stories as to why. We all do both all the time. This discussion appears to be about degrees, and about when it's appropriate (or necessary) to do so. I don't think you have to change the rules to suit the story here. YMMV.</blockquote>
