You know what to do here.
I'm afraid so.
I think Kiddrick was going to post later today. I was thinking about rolling up a Time Oracle, but that might make for a squishy team; are there any other front-liners? If not, I have a backup option, I think.
Which do you think this party needs more: Another Dhampir, or someone whose best friend is a giant semi-intelligent slug?
While the latter is intriguing, I’m not sure either one has specific merit as far as party balance goes.
I suppose I can just run with a pregen Barbarian, if the roster doesn’t bulk up.
Alright, all set up with Amiri.
PREGEN: Amiri, Barbarian 1

I'll be getting the intro post up tomorrow, I hope. Muusa still needs to dot in the Gameplay thread, looks like.
Apologies for my general silence here. My son managed to total his car (without injury to himself or anyone else--or damage to the other vehicle, which is what happens when a Civic hits black ice and slides into the back of an SUV--all the crumple zones did what they were supposed to), and my wife and I have been working on getting him a new/used one. Will try to get back onto a regular schedule tomorrow.
No worries – glad he’s okay
Thanks, all. We had to replace the car, but fortunately in the absence of claims or legal issues our insurance agent won't be holding the accident against us.

It is a racial trait from Inner Sea races:
Dhampirs—Heir to Undying Nobility: Descended
from undead nobility, perhaps from Geb, Nidal, or
Ustalav, some dhampirs inherit a bit of their ancestors’
ability to control living beings. They can use command
and charm person each once per day. This racial trait
replaces the spell-like ability racial trait.
OK, the mechanic for this particular task is not entirely intuitive. Given what you're planning on doing, you have to come up with an appropriate set of skills to use for preparation, execution, and in case of something going off the rails; and then make the right checks. For example, if you want to fit in with the regulars (though this is not the best time), you could use Bluff, Disguise, or Stealth. What sorts of things are you going to do to prepare?

Well, my plan was to just sit there and look as innocuous as an exotic-looking weirdo with a huge sword and a crazy mask possibly can (perhaps engaging another party member in some parlor games), but when the time finally comes, use my erase power to screw with whatever business deals our marks try to write up (as a spell-like ability, it has no visible spellcasting components and my use of it is unnoticeable) - or failing that, their restaurant check. I also have the lock gaze spell prepared, in case that can somehow be useful.
That presumes that the information will be written and not just verbal. Remember that Delroya wants to keep the Kortos agent from telling the Aspis agent about her plans to divert the drug shipment, and to have that happen without the Society being implicated. All the Kortos agent needs to do is tell the Aspis agent, and then the only thing you'd be able to do to salvage the situation is kill the Aspis agent without witnesses.
Well, that or scout the area. You've got Climb and Swim, so you can get around the perimeter of the building well enough.
Shutting down the tavern is a possibility; Xukong's Knowledge (Engineering) check could help you there, depending on how catastrophically you wanted it shut down, IYKWIM(AITYD). The catch is that you're here well before the appointed time, and hanging out for several hours is a good way to be obvious.
That would be a workable solution, yes.
Work's been ugly the past few days, and we're having people over tonight and tomorrow--am in the process of making several different kinds of chili, and may not be able to post before Sunday. The house smells strongly of roasted poblanos and garlic.
Muusa –
The result of the Hex save determines whether or not he must reroll on the Charm save, so your Hex save must proceed it. Make sense?

Lekku, the question was about the mesmerist stare. The order is:
1) Karayan uses his mesmerist stare, giving the man a -2 on his will saves
2) Muusa hexes him: he has to make a DC 15 will save, taking into account 1)
3) Karayan casts charm person: he either makes 1 or 2 saves, depending on 2). In any case he has a -2 on his will saves because of 1)
Oh, I see. Sorry bout that. Nice synergy.
I'm going to be at a (non-gaming) con this weekend, and since the hotel charges for internet access I won't be able to post much (if at all).
