"I could write up message about Dwarf grievances as well. This could work. I look enough like my royal family with this nice new robe" he shows everyone the new robe "to pull this off and we would have several options. Where is that writing kit?" He takes it and starts creating an official looking draft for Dwarven concerns.

"Get me a pen! I need to write about sizeism among the tall folk."
A. disguise ourselves as Rhun and a group of his people, with a letter on behalf of the city of Remnant, asking the king to stop the war B. disguise ourselves as a Dwarven royal delegation with a similar letter asking the king to stop the war C. backup option of Polly changing into the princess and, I'd assume, getting an immediate audience with the king, and probably some 'splaining to do
Other variations on this, or just breaking in, or something completely different. Might as well try A and if it doesn't work, B. And C in case none of the rest of it work. I'd say just give it a shot and trust the DM to get us there, from a purely OOC standpoint!

(I suggest doing A, but It is up to you guys)
(LOL, if another DM I play a live game with said that, I would definitely not choose option A)
Brightmoon "I vote B, but I think A works as well. C sounds too risky, she really has not said why she ran away."
(OOC: I trust the DM, why not?) "I say we go with option #1 or as you list it option A. Should I make Halfast invisible when we get close? Or do we just roll with it?"
"I'm for option A as well. We have the best chance of getting in as Ruhn. A dwarven delegation wouldn't be as trusted as one with the king's own subrulers. I agree with Brightmoon in the fact that we have no basis for why the princess ran away. Plus, the king knows Lirah well. Pretending to be her wouldn't hold up under any scrutiny."
Polly's good with A. The letter just backs up what we're saying? Or perhaps the letter can do the talking, minimizing the amount of verbal mimicry Polly will have to do?
"I think letting the letter do most of the talking to get de audience with the king is a good idea. When we are in there we can just talk the things we want to discuss. So deliver the letter on arrival by someone close to Rhun, I think my skills of persuasion can come in handy here, and I can play the role of an advisor to Rhun, give the letter to the guards at the door, who deliver it to the king."
I could also help with making the content of the letter more persuasive if necessary.
Brightmoon shows the new letter he and Turner created to the group that they worked on during the short rest. It introduces the group as having petitions for the king from the city leader.
Polly nods. She stands up, refreshed, and casts disguise self on herself to look like the figure she saw open the door in the fancy house and sic the guards on her. She shows the illusion to the princess, and will recast it if she has any feedback to get the the illusion looking perfect. She'll try some impressions of the voice, based on the little she heard from Rhun, and asking the princess for any tips on getting a dragonborn voice solid.
Rolling performance with advantage, hoping for help from the princess, but if no advantage, take the first roll of course: 23
She's ready to go! The plan is to go to the castle/palace looking like Rhun, face a grumpy stormcloud, and hand the letter to the guards, as if he won't even deign to speak to them. Assuming they get in to speak to the king, she'll speak in that voice only minimally, and rely on others to chime in as well. But really, we're going there to see what's going on with this odd king, eyes open for other influences in the castle, secretive advisers who might be pulling the strings, etc.
The Princess nods to Polly as you leave. You climb the crumbling, dusty stairs and halls until you reach the top of the last tower, where a glowing turquoise portal lay between an arch of cracked cobblestone.
Can we see anything on the other side? And I'm guessing no guards or witnesses? Polly will offer to step through second or third, grumbling to herself in Rhun's voice.

Tuner will lead the group, ready to talk to anyone standing in their way. "don't piss off rhun, he is already in a fowl mood, please deliver this letter to the king and get an audience for him asap"
"Or halfling rights!"
I have a weird sense of humor.
I also make maps.(That's a link)

So we have a couple options:
A. disguise ourselves as Rhun and a group of his people, with a letter on behalf of the city of Remnant, asking the king to stop the war
B. disguise ourselves as a Dwarven royal delegation with a similar letter asking the king to stop the war
C. backup option of Polly changing into the princess and, I'd assume, getting an immediate audience with the king, and probably some 'splaining to do
Other variations on this, or just breaking in, or something completely different. Might as well try A and if it doesn't work, B. And C in case none of the rest of it work. I'd say just give it a shot and trust the DM to get us there, from a purely OOC standpoint!

(If necessary, persuasion roll: 29)
"Let's do this thing." Mason starts for the door. "Polly you ready?"

There's only a single gate in the tower.
Tuner will lead the group, ready to talk to anyone standing in their way. "don't piss off rhun, he is already in a fowl mood, please deliver this letter to the king and get an audience for him asap"
Mason follows Tuner and looks respectfully at Rhun (Polly) as the move forward to the gate.
Lot's of stuff ...
Brightmoon is in the back looking like an old servant carrying his masters belongings.
