The western passage curves around and ends at a door, which rather than having a lock, seems to be barred from the inside. There is a small panel in the door that someone on the inside can slide open to peer out at those requesting entrance.
Akyan nods to Tamryn. "That would be me." He takes a minute to examine one of the male guards, then taps his hat causing the illusion to cover him. "Alright, let's hurry this up."
He looks to Jhaartael, "You can disguise yourself too right? I'd prefer to go up there with someone else, just in case we need to take out whoever is behind that door."
Kyrsa is relieved that the scuffle with the guards was over before she got there. Good, at least they didn't have to spend more time on that. She looks over the group, satisfied that no one seems seriously injured, then follows as they pass on.
"Let's be quick and quiet about this," she whispers. "And hopefully avoid further contact."
A few of you disguise yourselves, while the others wait out of sight around the curve of the corridor. One of you knocks on the door, and you hear footsteps approach from the other side. The sliding panel at eye level opens up, and a pair of human eyes stare out at you.
"Well? Mike, is that you? Whaddya want, have the elves shown up yet?"
(Whomever answers, please make a deception or persuasion check in addition to posting what your response is. You did not actually hear the guards speak, so you cannot mimic their voices...)
"Jhaartael, can you hypnotize this guy?" Akyan asks telepathically.
Akyan shakes his head and frowns, "What are you doing breaking character? And weren't you told that we were supposed to switch out every once in a while?" He replies without confirming his identity. After all, he doesn't know which one of them is disguised as Mike. "Hurry up and get out here though, it's already been ten minutes since we were supposed to switch."
Pulling the hood of his cloak to envelop his face in shadow, Jhaartael steps to just where he can see the eyes peering through the door. Waving his ringed hand before him, he replies to the doorguard in an even, soporific tone, "You must find these trainings tedious. You may as well open the door for us and just go for a nice long stroll. In the end, we are all going to be heading to the bunks after."
The eyes behind the door blink slowly, and the voice responds, "Yes... a walk sounds nice. Come on in..."
You hear the bar being removed, and the door creaks open.
Through the doorway, you see a large room, and at least one other guard inside. A voice speaks up, "Dieter... what are you doing??"
Dieter replies, "It's OK, it's just time for a shift change. I need to stretch my legs..." He then walks out the door, passing your party in the hallway, heading for the room you just came from.
Some of you are disguised, so I'll say you have a round before combat begins if you can figure out what to do.
Mina stands to the back of the group and raises her eyebrows as 'Dieter' walks by without giving her a second glance. She looks to the front of the group for any sign of what is happening.
(I believe that you have Akyan and Lyndaran mixed up. Akyan should be up front. lol)
"Got anything else up your sleeve Jhaartael?" The disguised drow asks the high elf telepathically. To Tamryn and Lyndaran he says, "There's at least one other guard in here. Which probably means more combat. Be ready, this needs to go quick. Unless you all have a better idea? I could try convincing the others to follow, then we could lock them out if you all can get in here fast enough."
Jhaartael moves like a draft, past Akyan and through the open door toward the first guard beyond Dieter that he sees. He pulls his hood back slightly, locking his hypnotic gaze upon the guard. (Wis Save DC 16)
Lyndaran grabs his dagger behind his back. Despite the weapons he can carry on his wuicer he has on edagger attached to the back of it, almost between it and his own back, and with the hilt facing diagonally downwards so he can grab it pretending he had his hands resting on his back.
He feels the leather on the hilt and as long as he would rather use his bow, having it in hand could be suspicious and now, using the identity of the other guard, he could approach enough to one of the others before making his move.
He thinks
"I am ready"as Jhaartael mix thought and action and enteres the door trying to mesmerize the guard at it.
"Good" Akyan replies to Lyndaran, then walks casually past Jhaartael and the guard he is trying to hypnotize. Noting the two other guards he telepathically relays this information to Lyndaran and Tamryn. "Only three in here. The quickest thing to do is take them out. Get in here fast and one of you shut the door." The drow notes the direction Lyndaran has chosen, and makes his way to the same target in order to flank him if possible. Once close enough, he summons a psycic blade and strikes.
To hit: 26
Damage: 9
Sneak attack (If applicable): 13
Then he follows that up with another attack with his free hand.
Lyndaran nods mentally and heads towards one of the other guards.
"How ya doin'? Everything seems calm out there..." he says approaching the guard and when Akyan is just at the other side he says "Look what I found.." and distracts the guards attention to his left hand while with the right one he produces his dagger and stabs the man under the chin.
"You sure? We are running out of time..." but Mina follows him anyways, keeping an eye out for traps as they go.

Tamryn whispers, "Who has the hat? Could they take the shape of one of the guards?"
Tamryn - lvl 4 Wood Elf Rogue - Circle of Light Campaign || Drusilla - lvl 1 Half-Elf Ranger - Sleeping Gods || Grrzark - lvl 1 Goblin Barbarian - Danger at Darkshelf Quarry || DM - LTG - Curse of Strahd
Akyan nods to Tamryn. "That would be me." He takes a minute to examine one of the male guards, then taps his hat causing the illusion to cover him. "Alright, let's hurry this up."

"I can disguise myself too if needed " says Lyndaran looking down at the face of another guard with an evident face of disgust

Guard save vs. hypnotic gaze 1
Akyan and Lyndaran provide an effective one-two punch and take out Guard 3 while Guard 2 stares back at Jhaartael and draws his sword.
(Mina, Tamryn and Kyrsa can act and then if he's still up, we will roll initiative.)
((This feels like it deserves some praise))
