@Yuki: When you're up and on the board, we can rp interviewing the townsfolk, if you'd like. GM Left is heading to bed soon, but I'll be around.
At this point it should be rather obvious that the townsfolk are out of sorts -- rather surly/unfriendly with each other and especially with strangers. So, Diplomacy checks are required...
I am here

I made my roll here. After GMs said we can plan etc here. Yesterday sometime...

Ah, you added that after I read that posting yesterday. No worries - you're good on the disguise check.
@Yuki: In regard to Change shape, this is what it says, Change Shape (Su) A kitsune can assume the appearance of a specific single human form of the same sex.
So Yuki being female, can only assume a female human form... How is she doing the male Yamato and Dalviss?
Or you just relying on this:
Realistic Likeness (Kitsune)
When you are in human form, you can take the shape of a specific individual.
Prerequisites: Kitsune.
Benefit: You can precisely mimic the physical features of any individual you have encountered. When you use your racial change shape ability, you can attempt to take the form of an individual, granting you a +10 circumstance bonus on Disguise checks made to fool others with your impersonation.
But still racial change ability says "of the same sex" ...
I think she has Realistic Likeness.
that i do :D
I know (I have that included in my last posting) but still it says it's when she's using her racial change ability .. and going by that she can only be female ...
The two descriptions/guidelines don't really mesh well ...
Yes. that is if you dont have the realistic likeness feat. That shape change are for those who have other ideas in mind, realistic likeness are for those who focuses more on their shapechange ability. thats how i saw it when i first read it
At it's most restrictive it seems like it allows all human women but it doesn't seem unreasonable the realistic likeness completely modifies the racial ability.
It does say any person in the feat. Its actually pretty cool. Its like any other feat that changes or modifies a class feature though, so it trumps the original text.
As far as Paul goes, I think he's Rping out the fact that he doesn't know its not Dalviss. XD
I do realise that Bart (about Paul). It's more of a reminder to Yuki ... for how she plays it out.
@Yuki: You can mimic the physical features, but how are you mimicking Dalviss' voice? That's not a physical feature. Are you going to be using Bluff for this?
What about these factors for Disguise?
Disguised as different gender –2
Disguised as different race –2
Disguised as different age category –22
Disguised as different size category -10
her skills are in such a way that she does really well to lie and make people think she is who she she makes herself to be. High bluff. Convincing lie, etc :)
just did. minimum of 18 bluff. :) the players are more than welcome to roll SM. She's a trickster and of Picoperi. It makes her so much fun to play
Still only a -6. total still 41 :P (age was -2 with a reference. looks like 22 :P )
Convincing lie is about believing what you tell them not the timbre of the voice ...
If you stand there and say nothing but look like the person, I agree you may get away with it ... But to speak is a different matter. I'm still not convinced ... For now, I'll allow it but I will talk to GM Lefty about it tomorrow.
Hence i have a bluff. In time things will get better. i know the people will get a bonus since they know him, but shes bargaining on how tred and sleepless they seem
Guys. Im sorry if this is an issue. Will stop doing it if it causes problems. Didnt think it would cause so much debate. I will withdraw her from this scene. Will continue later as herself again
You may need to swiftly play out the rest of this scene and leave ... it seems Paul wants answers from fake Dalviss ...that Yuki really can't answer.
I'm going to send you a PM, Yuki.
Lots of ways to end this. Or try and bluff. But I wont roll bluff anymore

It's a 2:15 AM here. I'm almost ready to crash, but first I'd like to get the stuff from the church before bed. Just waiting on the information.
Okay, at this time I don't know what to do.
I was prepared to get shopping done and then head out before it got to be nighttime (since humans can't see too well in the dark).
I don't really know how to play it now since I got "Dalviss" telling me to talk back at the inn now and Paul generally listens to his boss, once he's taken a contract.
I can ret-con ignoring the comments from Fake Dalviss pretty easily, if needed. For now I'm not sure what to do, though.
GM's: Any suggestions are welcome.
@Paul: If your character is really in a quandary over heeding his "boss", then perhaps have Ayreth go back to the Mineshaft (if she's amiable, of course) and she can see what's up with Dalviss (and what he wants) and you can continue on to the church ...
You do what you feel is right ... It's not going to take you that much time IC to get back to the inn and have a quick word to Dalviss...
Hope that helps.
Can one disguise a voice? Or do you assume that with the mimicry, you copy the vocal cords, etc?
I'm wondering if someone can disguise tracks/scent?
If you have Scent as an animal, can you disguise it?
And if you leave tracks, even if you look like someone else via magic, will your tracks look like them, too?
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the link, A.
It seems there are others like me questioning this ability (even with feat attached)...
I'd say no on the vocal cords. But I will see what GM Left thinks come morning.

The "character" part isn't in a quandary - Paul's boss told him talk at the inn, so it's not an issue for Paul to walk back with him and talk.
The issue is more of the Player dynamic.
So far I'm playing it as my character would, but I don't want it to become a whole big thing - if me playing my character this way is compromising the fun of the game for anyone, let me know and Paul will back off, no worries.
I don't believe it is compromising the game. The fake Dalviss retreated but Paul thinks it's the real one and is confused by the conversation he had with "Dalviss".
Go back to the Inn and get it sorted out, if you'd like. It's not a big deal.
Actually. It was if he wanted to talk and ask more questions. He can simply continue since he did get his answers.
And dont worry people. Wont happen again. Sorry for the confusion

Not trying to rain on your parade, I just find it an interesting discussion.
=)

Alright, Paul will follow "Dalviss" back to the inn.
It won't be hard to follow an old man with a limp; especially as Paul has done some tracking before.
When he gets back he'll settle things with the man and then move on.
Well. I can see where this is going... well. More mystery to the mystery! There is a look alike! A fraud! A sharleton in town! *gasp*
Will fix it in the group. When everyone is together an dno other eyes on us

I will be preparing dinner, so I will be away from the board for about 40 mins. I'll be back to check the board and make any responses etc later ... I am around, just tied up for a bit. :)
I'm going to bed - it's 3:15 for me here, and I'm pretty wiped out.
See you all tomorrow!

Haha, that is the danger when people don't know. And then, when people do know, and there is an actual doppleganger running around...
"No, guys, this time it wasn't me. I swear..."
But I like the idea that it plays into the impetuous nature of "Sora". As if she didn't quite think that through before rushing off to have some fun.
CG :P CG
Chase the k9! . According to her. No harm done. So this is fun. But shes leading u to a place with no extra eyes. Then show u who she is

Hmmmmm..... normally, I'd avoid a PvP situation, but this is a weird situation in that we don't know it's you. What to do, what to do....
Yesterday I recommended that Paul just ignore the whole thing or ret-con like it didn't happen.
However, right now I'm playing Paul like he's "Paul" and that means he's currently tracking Yuki.
In-game Paul's been pushing to get things done as quickly as possible; he doesn't see in the dark and going into the swamp at night isn't that appealing to him.
Not to mention the fact that when it comes to contracts/deals, he tends to be very "business-like".
The fact that Dalviss lied to him; tricked him and pretty much wasted his day means Paul is not very happy with Dalviss right now - to say the least. I'm still not sure why Yuki couldn't have just told us what was going on to begin with while we were walking down the street together, instead of all that. Oh well, I guess I'll see what happens next.
Also, generally I'm not a fan of PvP either, but I guess we'll see what happens soon.
GM: Did anyone in this ultra-paranoid town notice "Dalviss" running down the street away from us? Or is that something we'd need to make a Perception Check for?
Goodnight
-Posted with Wayfinder
@Paul: There are no people on the street, really, except for you guys. Most are either in bed or setting up their stores etc for the day. So no one noticed "Dalviss" making a run down main street...
@Yuki: Night.
@All: Need a little clarification: So who's going to Old Frog Swamp and who's staying in town? I know Yuki said she would talk to the townsfolk but I'm unsure if she will be joining the rest of you or not on your trek to the swamp (When her player is up and on the board again, I'm certain she will let us know).
Any other plans in town before you head out? Bart are you still carrying Leeara's journal and her bed sheet?
Bart is carrying both of those things. He stuffed them into different parts of his messengers bag, which is currently a little overly stuffed. XD He is also definitely headed to the swamp.
Thanks for the confirmation, Bart. :)
Swamp!!
Thanks, Blue!
Thanks, A.
To the swamp it is!
