Zarra will have her longbow at ready by her side, ready to cast disguise self to change her appearance when needed. Of which she will cast at the first sign of trouble. On Lorairies' words she will whisper simply, "Of course." She will keep an eye out for danger.

The lock pops open with only a little bit of finessing from Loraires. You open the door, and are greeted by the gagging stench of concentrated urine. You managed to find the Tanner's workshop. There are dozens of hides in here, in various states of curing.
The source of the smell is nearby. An open vat full of uric acid, an important, if unpleasant, part of the process.
As the door swings open Lorairies smiles." Mask is indeed with us", she whispers. She grimaces at the smell in the tannery. Lora will close the door as Zarra enters the building. She will peek out any available window or crack in the wall to see what they face in the street. While looking she will take careful note of how the guards are dressed.
"We need to wait here a few moments for this spell to wear off. If we appear out of thin air seemingly in the street I don't think any disguise will save us. You might want to spend the time looking out a window to see how to disguise yourself." She will say all this in a very low voice.
After this she will chant softly asking Mask to change her appearance to that of a man. She will change her apparent height to about 6' tall and a strong build. Her armor and clothing will match what she sees the humans in the street outside wearing. She looks over to Zarra." What do you think? Am I handsome now? "She smiles." I am ready when you are." They will watch for a moment when no one is looking their way and step into the street.
Specific Action: Cast Disguise Self.

The two scouts disguise themselves and step out into the street when all seems clear. Moving about proves to be relatively easy like this. The guards seem to ignore you, and the locals take pains to get out of your way.
The Temple that Rezmir disappeared into is near the center of town. The large stables are to the south.
Lorairies nods in satisfaction at how their disguises are working so far. Speaking in a low voice when no one is nearby she says," Lets head to the stable. Velon said that it was a priority. We need to find out what is in there." The apparent burly guard heads south towards the stables. She will watch carefully for all the ways to spy on the stable.
Out of Character: : Thomas, I'm not trying to just take over the spying mission. You haven't been around much the last few days so I'm trying to keep the story moving along. I hate for the rest of the party to be out of action any longer than necessary. Feel free to add in your input and help make decisions if you are available. I was hoping the two could get to know each other a lot better on this spy mission.
The stables are found easily enough, but getting within may be more problematic. There are a dozen men sitting and standing outside the two entrances, both of which are secured with chains and a heavy lock.
Said guards appear a bit more alert and suspicious of everyone nearby.
The main group waits patiently outside of the village. There is a brief flurry of activity, and eight men start heading out. They head towards the same trail that you came down, and don't appear particularly in a hurry. They'll pass by your position, probably without noticing you, relatively shortly.
Lawrance whispers to the party, “These guys are probably the reinforcements to the gate group. I don’t think it would be a good idea to let them reach the gate and find out all their fellow mercenaries have been dealt with. I’m not a strategist, I just know what I’ve read, and I think it would be a good idea to ambush them from behind once they are well out of earshot of the village. “.
Cratol is sitting there meditating when he hears the others whispering about some guards coming. He moves slowly and carefully to be hidden from the path. He will be tense and ready to spring in case that is what the others with to do to take this guys out.
