This sounds like a good strategy. We are both very convincing people and Gallador's lying skills are unequaled.
So Relle, Xavier, are you going with Gallador as aide/bodyguard?
Can we agree not to tak sabres on us?
And any ideas about the escape plan.
What is the feasibility of coordinating a pick-up from a ship and shutting down the tower's defenses?
Otherwise we can try descending down through the tower some quick way once we've dealt with Merik. Meaning we need to be careful about getting stuck in a prolonged fight at the top of the tower. Probably the lifts or lift shaft; Rand isn't running down the stairs.
Or down the outside? Bring grappling rope?
If your plan is to escape on foot, then destroying the security controls will likely make life harder, not easier, as that will involve buggering around finding them, dealing with the security there, and then still having to hack your way out. Disabling internal security is only of moderate benefit, and every minute you take in such a situation will bring more law enforcement to the tower entrance, the killer chokepoint. If it is a foot-based bust-out, speed is key.
You can bring vehicles to the car park equivalent

So the best course of action should be to check the escape route to the car park and disable the security on the way out. Is there any way to check the layout of this place in advance?
