Regarding the 'Spies in the House' question from eshadowbringer, typically you'll just destroy 3 Skeletons, to open that Lever in the upper tunnels.
That lever in 'Spies in the House', near the skeletons can be also be unlocked by conventional 'Open Lock' methods, e.g. Rogues. (Equatis, is probably "skipping" those 'Rescue' optionals, and avoiding killing anything directly.)
Therefore, you don't need to eliminate anything (other than Rowan) until you get to the Elementals. Theoretically Rowan Watzun is the only required "target". The Elementals and Rowan can be easily made to them to kill themselves with: Misadventure. 🗡
Within the '
R.O.G.U.E Part Quatre: Call for Stealthy Players!' thread, I completed 'Spies in the House' without directly killing anything; all kills were provided via Misadventure, [
Post #400].
Level 8: The Assassination of Rowan Watzun from Shadow_Jumper (Hsoftl), 10 kills max, no traps, no prisoners freed. Update 1: kill only from Spellburst. Update 2: no kills from Saekee.
I don't typically bother going for kills by "Misadventure" only.
