I'm a bit rusty from the delay, but we have one fellow who is wanted by the whitecloaks, IIRC, so we dress him up as a whitecloak and paint on some believable and noticeable scar, assuming that anyone who see it will focus on it and not his other features if they put out details of his appearance or are actively hunting him currently.

I and the other fellow dress as whitecloaks, and Xanthe (DK's character) is dressed as a servant, and without objections I'd like to dye her hair. I'll bring the servant (DK) in in one group, and the other two come in as a different group, maybe twenty minutes later, pretending to be two fellows from Eamon Valde's cohort traveling back, with names I have previously obtained to help that carry weight. They will not, of course, give many details unless challeneged. We will then rendevous at a pre-arranged location that tends to be fairly discrete and unoccupied (I don't know the layout of the fortress from the books to be able to guess on that) but I'm guessing I would know of such a place and leave it up to your creativity.

If challenged, group A (myself and DK) will improvise along the lines of implying that she's actually the sister or sweetheart of someone who got in some minor trouble and hasn't been allowed to leave the grounds (which I imagine is commonplace) and I'm sneaking in her for a quick visit, wink and nod, etc. I'll leave it up to group B to improvise if they get questioned, and whatever info on their "fake ID's" I have, if you've made that up or not.

Once we rendevous, the second group will inform us of their status with one of the four folowing greetings.

"Hello" indicates some trouble at the gate, whereupon we abort the operation entirely.

"Greetings" indicates some trouble at the gate, whereupon we attempt to rendevous some time later, two hours, at the 'alternate rally point' also presumably known to us but awaiting your creativity.

'a nod' indicates a minor challenge but no reason to be concerned.

"Afternoon" (as we plan to go in after noon) indicate sno problems at all, and group A will respond with the same set of answers to relate our current status.

Thus Group B says "Afternoon" if they had no problems at the gate, and group A would reply "Greetings" to tell them to meet us elsewhere, or "Hello" to tell them to run.

In case the entire thing has to be aborted, we will meet back a the inn that evening, anyone who isn't there by midnight will be asusmed captured and we will flee.

How's that?
