Can I ask why? Genuinely curious.

Without my books at hand, so off the top of my head, Trickster Cleric and Swashbuckler would give you better options in terms of stealth and direct combat, and you know another healer would never go amiss.

Plus honestly I think either would suit Quiz thematically quite well.

Just to note though you would need an extra point of wisdom before you could multiclass cleric.

Well, If I decide to go Cleric, the Observant Feat at level 4 would bump me up one on wisdom, and let me read lips, boost my Insight checks and my Investigation. Then I can free up my Bard spells for things I don't already get as a Trickster.

If I go with Rouge, Alert, so When I hit Swashbuckler, I get Rackish Audacity, I add 8 to my initiative rolls on top of my Dex mod. (That's +10!) It will be very difficult for me not to go first in a fight.

Walrock would get Battle Mage, so I can cast in the Eldrich Blast at point blank range with my Fairy Sword/Dagger/Whatever I need at the time, because blade pact means never being unarmed, as long as it's a melee weapon.

Was there any information in the battle plans we found that might have indicated squad names or other organizational details of the mercenaries? Any notations on casualty estimates, to try to figure out whether there is a suicide squad or whatnot?

Valerian is going to try to bluff again...

Also, based on the current location how far is it from this guard pair to the camp proper? (Is there a section out of line of sight where it might be possible to overpower the escort?) And is this a paroling pair or more of a static position?

From the battle plans you know that the Firebreaks are split into 3 companies, Ash, Burn and Cinder companies, those companies are again split into 4 platoons each, each platoon is split into 3 squads Vanguard (Font ranks of the pike block) Mid-guard (the center of the pike block) and Rearguard (the back of the pike block). The naming convention seems to be Company, Platoon, Squad

So it would be something like Nemetsk, Ash Company, 2nd Platoon, Vanguard.

There doesn't seem to be any designated 'Suicide Squad' but, Ash Company (The one under the command of Sir Greenstone) looks to be one leading the charge, the first to encounter combat so, good chance that they would suffer the most causalities.

Right now the Pair seem to be the only ones in the area. So if you kill them quickly you might not raise an alarm. You would have to hide the bodies, still a good chance someone would see them and raise an alarm.
