<em>"We do as much prep work as we can beforehand, but we do the actual breaching itself during the party.  That's the best bet to cover the noise and rule out the possibility of some energetic servant finding sign of what we are up to."</em><br/><br/>That statement brought up a good point that Fenris thought would be best addressed now rather than make a snap decision in the heat of the moment.  "Speaking of..."  He began as he glanced around at the others before stopping upon Asleod.  "In the event a hapless servant or guard just so happens to stumble across the wrong place at the wrong time, how should I address the situation.  We can't have them running off to spoil the whole thing, but if I have to pull my punches we might be no better off.  Even if I do manage to incapacitate them, they're still witness to our activities and are therefore a security risk to the mission.  Granted a dead body is just as likely to rise an alarm, but it might make things easier to hide the body and drop a bottle of wine where the blood was shed.  I know blood and wine are a far cry from one another, but at a party that size the commonality of a broken bottle of red might be mundane enough not to warrant a second glance until we're long gone."
