In the Lady's room
Subject: Weapons
Since weapons do not have an armor checkpenalty, I do consider that Ranthir, Ragnar and Ally have their weapons with them. Since none of them have reach weapons this should not be a problem.

Ranthir, knowing that the spell doesn't have much time left, quickly moves behind the lady and puts his hand over her mouth, holding her firmly enough to keep her from making noise and says in hushed but urgent tones "Lady De Blum, this is Ranthir. I am here along with Ragnar and Allistair. We need to talk."
If he senses her relax, he will release her. Otherwise he will continue to hold on and ask Allistair to dispel the magic.

Kudos to Ran for not mamby-pambying about. Hopefully we won't all get killed in the next few rounds.

I will wait until tonight to see if Jason wants to add anything.
It will be later tonight.

Well I had some thoughts but wasn't sure what to do, and given that Ragnar didn't really know either I'd say he just hesitates too long until Ran takes action on his own.

"Well your Honor, I thought she was uh, passing me a secret message..."
"When she slapped you and told you never to talk to her again?"
"Yea. That's right."
"And so you snuck into her room with two other armed men and accosted her?"
"uhmmm... yea...."
