If those guys back at the front of the cave are different, we need to know how and to what extent. I'd also like to know anything you do about the baron's personality, temperament, history -- what are his weaknesses? Is he fond of women or wine? Is he an arrogant man who would fall for a deception suited to his self-aggrandizing image? It's much easier, not to mention quicker and cheaper, to slip one person into a household to kill him in his sleep than it is to train and send in a small militia, or incite war amongst his rivals."
