waiting until after midnight to search the place after business hours?
marching in with weapons drawn during business hours to look around?
taking baths during business hours, which means some time without any equipment in a suspected den of cultists?"

Khaffosi seems perplexed that Hunferho doesn't get it, "It's a public bath house used by the public all the time. We're just going to go in, take a bath and while we're there, look around to see what we see. We're just ordinary citizens taking a bath, what's the danger? Then we can come back after hours and explore based on what we saw."
"Let's get in there and get the job done. There is no way I undress in a known cultist hideout devoted to three murderous gods.", Axandros said to the group. "Someone in there ought to know what is going on and I suggest we go in and make them talk." The wizard let his words sink in before continuing, "Waiting until they close this place might just complicate things without any benefit for us."
Hunferho lets Khaffosi and Axandros argue about what is "obviously" the right thing to do. He has not infiltrated a bath house before, so doesn't have a strong opinion. He just wants to make sure the plan is clear and everyone is on the same page.
Hunferho knows about politics and bureaucracy in general, but not the situation inside Baldur's Gate. "Alea, what do you know about this House Vanthampur? If these nobles have strong ties to the Flaming Fist, then we can't be too bold in our actions. We'd have to sneak around, to not cause a fuss until we have evidence... If they don't, then not being stealthy is still a viable option."

Hey DM would I know the noble house that funds this place
check if needed 9
Unsure, it's just one of the many names of nobles who list their generations of being lords in Waterdeep. Apparently they've helped restore a few buildings in the area, as they have several civic engineers in their ranks.
Khaffosi looks blankly at Axandros and then after a brief moment of silence says, "Fine. Straight to business then." He starts stalking towards the entrance to the bath house and when he gets close, begins to bellow, "FLAMING FIST DEPUTIES! THIS BATH HOUSE IS CLOSED FOR THE DAY. GET OUT!"
Alea let out a small chuckle as she heard that, almost as if she couldn’t help herself ”I doubt any of the patriar’s other then those connected closely to the grand duke are connected to the flaming fist, they must just seem to have restored buildings around this area, a few are civil engineers. My best guess is that this is there source of income” she said explaining it out to him “i think...“ she was then cut off by Khaffosi’s sudden burst of in “damnit” she muttered to herself

Do you want a description of the place before yelling out? :-p
The bathhouse is a one-story stuccoed building with stained-glass windows and clay roof tiles. Ten-foot-tall walls enclose a large courtyard outside the southeast corner of the building. The closed wooden doors to the courtyard are engraved with images of smiling nymphs dancing and frolicking in water.
Nope. Axandros wants straight to business, then Khaffosi isn't going to waste time with fancy plans. Straight to business. (With a helping of power tripping.)
Khafossi calls out, making his way to the bath house. However, he finds there is another open area before actually getting into the bath house. There is an L-shaped courtyard that features a trimmed lawn and nicely manicured shrubbery. The yard is decorated with white marble benches and stone fountains, each in the form of a smiling nymph tipping a jug that spills water into a circular stone basin. The bath house is open, as after the calls, there is a pause and perhaps some mumbles of confused patrons from within the bath house itself.
(ooc: just to clarify, its Khafossi who is shouting)
Axandros was sure that this Genasi would one day get himself killed. The wizard was also sure that he would thoroughly enjoy the sight of that, if he'd be around by any chance. Somebody should have explained to him the difference between a direct and a suicidal approach, but why bother. As soon as they finished their business here they would go their separate ways. "Good Job, friend! You go right ahead! I'll be right there with you.", Axandros called out to Khaffosi and then started follow him half-heartedly at a very safe distance.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Quick description of the actual bath house first)
The walls of this twenty-foot-high pillared chamber are adorned with frescoes of bathing royalty. Natural light streams through stained-glass windows, creating colorful patterns on the tiles of polished blue marble that cover the floor. Three shallow, sunken pools contain scintillating perfume-scented water. White marble benches bearing stacks of dry towels are situated near the pools, each of which comes equipped with a pair of brass faucets.
(Now for all the shouty angry noises)
Khaffossi barges in, yelling at the patrons. There is a sound of fluttering wings from outside, seems Khaffossi was so loud and intimidating he scared away the birds that were roosting nearby. He sees 5 people currently bathing, who quickly and panicked rush to grab their towels and pile of clothes, hurrying away from the angry man.

Arrow chuckles at the argument since he's just as dangerous buck naked as he is equipped it matters not to him
but the idea of a nice massage and maybe a patch of sunlight is starting to warm his insides.

Alea let out a groan shaking her head as she looked at the made Barbarian, this group would likely always be like this

Khaffosi isn't stupid. He looks back at Axandros and says back to him, "Sure you are, little man. You stay back there and hide behind the cat."
Turning back to the bath house, Khaffosi puts on his 'pissed off' face, which isn't that much of a stretch, and shouts, "GET OUT!"
