Aria practically<em>teleported</em>herself into the strike, digging into it's spine and twisting painfully.  The beast dropped without a sound, blood everywhere.  As for the last one... well, he was essentially harmless, too scared to even run away or fight.  It was almost sad really; were it not a beast of the Nightsinger's shadows, it would be a beautiful creature indeed.  That did not however stop her from quickly, and efficiently, smiting it back to it's mistress, taking her time to make sure that her every strike was at the very least merciful if not painless.<br/><br/>"Yes, it is a nice spell... though I'm not as fond of using such...<em>dark</em>spells." she responded, not quite as playful in her words as she was before, considering where they were and what she was going to do now "It's not a<em>beautiful</em>spell after all, far too much like what the Dark Goddess would approve of in her tainted forms of magic.  But it does have it's uses, such as you noted, for making fights with multiple foes a little easier at times."<br/><br/>She waited as the bard removed the bardings, something they could likely sell off, and she glanced about the room with her headband on still.  Six doors... all made to hinder the passing of sound... which was great, because that one spell of hers had been quite loud.  Perhaps from here they could travel more... discreetly.  Kass contemplated the situation for a moment, then relayed her plan.<br/><br/>"Okay, Aria, we need to find the statue first and foremost, the powerful wizard who could cast such a spell second, and then find some way of demolishing this place, got it?" she said calmly, as if it was no big deal, but not nearly as sweetly as she might have before finding out this was related to Shar "We move in pairs, starting with the right double door, and working our way around counter clockwise.  We need to move carefully, to try and get the element of surprise, okay?  Let's get moving, and with any luck we'll be able to stop the wizard and the crew set to capture the shield as well, and weaken Shar's supporters by destroying a temple in the process."<br/><br/>Okay, so she chose the right double door (from the view you gave) which is the one on the angled wall, right?  Also, she'll be moving silently throughout, and using the BM ability to give her enhanced MS by +10 (Aria too, for that matter).  So, the MS is...
