Lawrance keeps himself tucked unde his voluminous cloak, watching through both his own eyes and periodically the hawks as the party readies to act. Gettin Velons attention he guestures at his hawk above and points at the top of the castle with a questioning expression.

Using the stone Cratol will walk up behind the guard and use his staff to knock him out.
Out of Character: Will be making a few rolls but with the stone casting silence in a 15 foot radius I think he is quiet enough. Plus the stone will keep others from hearing the guard being hit a few times if that is what it takes.
Lawrance gets Velon's attention as the stealth assassins move in on the guard. Velon nods at the wizard, making the assumption that he's referencing having the hawk scout the top of the castle, potentially entering to do so. He uses the message cantrip once again. "Thank you, yes. Do as you see fit on such things, we trust you." He gives a small smile and another nod to their new friend.
As the nearby guard falls Velon hears Poljen, Lora, and Lawrance express their opinions on forgoing the all out attack for getting into the castle. He nods in a agreement, knowing it is wise. Any time Poljen avoids a fight, you know it's probably best, he thinks!
"Yes, you are all right. Let's circle around behind the castle as suggested. Cratol, have your rope ready? If there's no easy way in perhaps we can climb up. Let's stop all guards from sounding the alarm at all costs, and take out any above us before we climb. Lawrance, I saw you paralyze an enemy. You and I can both try that if it makes the difference." He pulls out the uniforms gathered from the patrol. "Shall we? We'll still stand out, but they might help. If Rezmir sees Poljen or I it won't work at all, we don't really fit in here. I need to steer clear of that Godslayer as well. I swear that last one could sense my dragon blood or something. It was like a rabid dog once I got close!"
He begins pulling the guards tunic (Or whatever they wear) over his armor and tunic of Bahamut (If even possible).
Out of Character: . Going ahead and assuming the stealth team will follow the suggestion to take out the guard and will do so successfully so I can address other recent posts. If not for any reason I will, of course, post again and react to a botched guard attack or whatever happens.
The guard is brought down easily by Zarra, and the group is now presumably able to speak freely.
The hawk familiar flies up and into the cloud. A few hundred feet in, he breaks through and sees a large castle made of white stone. The architecture is beautiful and graceful. It does not at all look like something build by beings so ugly at heart.
The castle itself is built into a large chunk of light grey rock, and features two levels. The lower of these have a simple pair of sentry towers and a wall surrounding the courtyard. The upper level houses the keep and there are 4 slender towers surrounding it.
Below the castle, in the side of the unhewn rock, is a large cave entrance. Below the cave, something is spewing out mist, constantly adding to the cloud.
The hawk can see about twenty beings manning the walls, mostly simple bowmen, but there are a pair of ogres as well.
Several banners stream from the walls and towers, each with the Pale Eye banner.

Mulling over previous conversations, Lawrance racks his memory to see if he has any references for these 'Godslayers' that could help.
Specific Action: Rolling Arcana/Religion to identify weaknesses and/or details on the Godslayers.
Out of Character: : Seeing as I cannot get any information from the familiar at that range, it'll report in once low enough. Until then, my character will stand ready to do whatever is needful.
Poppo had so many questions as he saw the cloud castle arrive. He was nearly bursting to ask but he sensed the others were very focused on getting into the castle so he remained quiet for the most part. "Couldn't we get the hawk to snatch the mask off Rezmir's face and fly away? That would create a distraction if nothing else."
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Course that could just get them all worried and start searching everywhere's too."
