Leliana's Song.

Marjolaine sent Leliana, Tug and Sketch to the estate in order to deliver Orlesian military documents she obtained, to her new ally Harwen Raleigh, who was guarding the estate in the Arl's absence. When Leliana objected, Marjolaine permitted her to return to the estate, thinking they would retrieve the papers but instead Marjolaine attacked them and handed them over to Raleigh.

During Rescue the Queen, as the Warden arrives at the exterior of the estate of Denerim, they find the doors to the estate locked, guards blocking the way, and a large crowd outside complaining about the Arl.

Erlina will follow the Warden after a short dialog up to the moment where she offers to distract the guards. Whether or not you take up her offer afterward, she will remain outside. If the party is disguised and inside, she will join them again and warn them to attempt to blend in. Accepting the disguise will yield Codex entry: Disguised!.

The disguise isn't broken by summoning creatures, casting non-hostile spells, strange auras or weapons that any of the companions might show or have.
While disguised, it is a perfect time for a pickpocket to pick the pockets of everyone you come across.
Inside a room, there is a male guard and a female servant engaging in a sexual activity, if you come near and disturb them then he will sound the alarm.
