[It makes sense that there aren't many people patrolling the grounds here; they wouldn't expect anyone to be able to get past the front gate, and coming around the back is certainly odd. So they're in, and while this isn't exactly the best position, things are certainly going smoothly.
Alaric nods at Blanche and moves to the door, listening in. There's at least two people on the other side, but likely not more than that. One of them is likely asleep given the heavier breathing and regular pattern, while the other shifts here and there occasionally. Guard duty, then. Why are they guarding this room? Well, that's not the point, and Alaric steps back. He doesn't bother drawing his sword, instead he opts for two knives - he kicks the door down and both knives find the necks of both mercenaries before either have the chance to raise the alarm.
There isn't any time to waste, their element of surprise will undoubtedly be gone soon. He gestures for Blanche to follow him as he puts one of the knives away and draws his sword.
The hallway opens into another, larger room. It looks like a dining hall. There are some tables and chairs scattered around, with a few mercenaries still in here. There's three of them - two with swords and one in the back who seems to have been in the process of making drinks who's reaching for something underneath the bar. Time to move, Blanche.]
