I don't see anywhere that the command spell leaves him flat footed, and he could still sound the alarm. A shank with Magic Weapon will do 1d4+1+str damage, which is more than "not much" by a fairly decent margin, I'd think- or I hope at least, depends on your stats. Though, if your strength is low enough that it won't do much damage, then your odds of out-grappling a guard are also not very good.

Also, as for faking your death, do you mean with Bleeding Touch? Dude, we're level one clerics and it does up to six damage, that could easily take out over half your health in round one. That seems incredibly risky.

I guess I'd be able to evaluate your tactics better if I knew what your character's stat allocations were. A decent number of your tactics seem to rely on physically overpowering someone enough to strangle them, which kinda demands a decent strength stat- I know Sujurak is okay for that with a 14 str, but I don't know what yours is.
