To her surprise, Hugh volunteered to have Kosara be his partner for the ambush. As far as her physical abilities and skills went, she would agree completely that she would be one of the best people in the group to move in the shadows. The logic behind her suggestion was tied to something else entirely, that she would have thought Hugh would have picked up immediately. Well, it didn't matter to her personally which of them went where as long as everyone could do what they needed to without half-assing it. As far as Kathryn's well-intentioned suggestion went, well she felt like there was more to be said in addition to Hugh's objection.

[color=FF6C5C]"In a different situation I might have agreed with you, Kathryn. Vigilantism often works in contradiction to the law and often causing more problems. But even if they were to surrender or we were to arrest them, a power which we do not possess mind you, how would we transport them? We don't have manacles nor enough rope with which to bind them, and our rental wagon wouldn't be able to hold them all. Given that we are in an area where local law enforcement is able to act effectively and we lack the authority or manpower to do so ourselves, the best thing we can do is remove this threat from the road entirely. If during the battle they surrender, then maybe we'll see about arrest. If nothing else we could interrogate any goblins about what they happen to be doing so close to the center of the region."[/color]

When Hugh cast his spell, she could see why he wasn't so concerned with how inherently noisy Kosara was. A spell like this forcibly muzzled her. Well, since they were about to move out, now would be the perfect time to Bless those who would stand beside her. Marita grabbed her water pouch and poured a small puddle of it in her palm, just enough so it wouldn't spill out. She placed her other hand over it and locked her hands closed.

With the words spoken, Marita threw the water in the air, and the droplets turned to light as they fell, showering her, Kathryn and Victoria. They glowed for an instant before it faded away, leaving them looking normal but the magic could be felt. Even as her words dropped like lead and light flared from her eyes, at the same time Pass Without Trace fought to keep it concealed, like containing an explosion. 

With everything set up as well as they could be, Marita was the first to move. She attempted to maintain silence as much as she could. Even though she had taken point, there was no reason to give up the element of surprise while she still had it. However, despite her best efforts she could still hear her mail jitter and jangle far more than it usually did. Were it not for the spell Hugh cast she doubted that she would have been able to sneak up on a deaf mole right then. And for an instant, when that goblin by the campfire stood, she thought her noisy armor had given her away. She stopped dead in her tracks and held her breath as she watched it sneeze and return to its business. In the end, she stopped next to the tree by the road, hidden enough to not be in plain sight, but close enough to be maybe 10-15 feet of any goblin by the campfire, well within striking distance.
