When there's a break in the songs, Jessilel asks if they could use another singer and volunteers her voice

Perception: Jessilel: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Perception: Gyira: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Enjoying the music and the festivities, Dolos makes discreet inquiries about the strange, red-skinned man.

Dolos:
The strange red skinned man is unusually private. No one seems to know where he lives. However, his name is Iskander (Alexander) in the Quori language. He is dressed beautifully and can be seen at the Reidran embassy.

They seem to be willing for Jessilel to lend her voice, yet her perception was a little better than Gyira's, who was looking at the music rather than around. Jessi saw children who were all waiting to hear her sing.

Tell me when Citlackhad makes it back.


Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Breacher scans the crowded room. It's tough to say whether any given thing seems out of place, because to him everything most humanoids do seems a bit odd.

Gramaton tries to look discrete despite the situation. He starts trying to keep track of details like the number of exits, who is carrying weapons and armour. He's not certain whether this might become an altercation but would rather know than not.

Citlakhad returns from his reporting of the Inspired.

Breacher:
Breacher, you notice a number of things like what kind of mugs are being served with the ale, and the Inspired getting off stage.


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

Citlackhad walks into the inn and looks around. When he spots the group he had just met he heads over to them.

"I am back from my task."

He nods to the group and sits on a free chair.

"I think you will find the entertainment noteworthy." Gramaton says in response.

Dolos scans the room for a particularly thuggish and drunk group of people, which he could con into picking a fight with the Inspired.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Sense Motive, if required: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

You find a group of half-elves which seem to fit your requirements easily.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Pretending to be equally drunk, Dolos makes his way to them, and strikes up a conversation in order to ingratiate himself. "A toast to Stillstone Holt!" he cheers, offering the half-elves a round.

Bluff to feign being drunk: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Diplomacy to change initial attitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

After a round or two, he turns their attention to the Inspired. Careful to not be overheard, he complains about the presence of the Inspired in Stillstone Holt, and wonders if and when anyone will have the courage to teach them a lesson.

"They don't belong here," he whispers. Then he chuckles, and issues a drunk dare: "you should kick him out of here!"

Diplomacy to convince the half-elves: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

What else do you say? You have to pretty much seduce them. That diplomacy check works, but you have to pretty much say more, Dolos.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

"You're crazy!" one of the Half-elves mutters.

"Am I?" Dolos asks, before continuing with conviction. "They come here, and they open an embassy, and it seems all so very harmless. They pretend that all they want is to be friends. But we know different. We know why they are here. They are here to take over. They want to rule us – to make us slaves. It's our way of life that's at stake – our freedom! Would you fight for your freedom?"

The half-elves nod.

"Well, it starts here – in this tavern. If you don't stand today, you may never get another chance. This is your home, and he wants to take it from you!"


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

That's better.

The half-elves get riled up. "Yeah, this is for our homes!"

One of them says, "But the Inspired are here to help us rebuild."


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

"We can rebuild ourselves. We're the ones doing the work! They'll help us rebuild, and then they'll claim everything for themselves. Do you want to live in fear? Do you want to be a slave?"

"Do you?" Dolos insists.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

"We're not meant to be slaves, lets get him."

"Yeah, lets!"

The group of Half-elves go over to the Inspired and begin to rough him up. One guy yells, "Fight!" in the middle of Jessilel's song. And a fight begins. In the tavern, the fight erupts into a brawl.

Hmm, I don't think that Pathfinder has rules for brawling. Alright everyone except Dolos is surprised. Since Dolos is the cause of the brawl, he gets to roll initiative this round.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Bar brawl!

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Dolos takes advantage of everyone's surprise to hide in the crowd.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20


Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

Sing: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Jessilel begins her song as a fairly inoffensive classic, but when the fight begins she switches over to something about two rivals trying to show who's best.

Gyira inches closer to her in case her needs to get in the way.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Brawlers' initiative = 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Inspired Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

The brawlers all fight with imprecision. They throw food, plates, and boards. Some even use chairs in their fight. The inspired is punching it up with some brawlers but getting punched in the chops.


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

Citlackhad will stay near the stage and Jessilel to protect her but will move to help any of his newfound "friends" that seem to need it.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Dolos attempts to ascertain the skill of the Inspired, and wether or not he is fighting to the best of his ability.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Dolos:
The Inspired is not fighting to the best of his ability.

New Round
Everyone else, roll initiative, Dolos' perception activities brings in a new round.

Brawlers are at 22, the Inspired are at 21.


Knifemaster 17. HP: 188/199. AC 30, FF 23, Touch 22 Fort +17, Ref +24, Will +14. BAB 12. CMB 14, CMD 31. Initiative +7. Perception +28

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Gramaton watches as the group of half elves begin to attack the inspired, somewhat confused by the turn of events.

Gerrytt had been a bit surprised by the way their guide had left but still was interested in getting to know himself. But first nature had called. Having found an out of the way spot for Glenn to do his business the halfling walked in leading his mount to find a brawl just starting.

Oh boy... A FIGHT!!!

initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16


Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Initiative Gyira: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Jessilel continues singing throughout the fight, and tries to liven things up for all those not throwing punches.


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Citlackhad will be doing his best to stop the fight, non-violently at first but as his persuasion skills leave much to be desired will probably resort to thumping people.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20


Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

"That's an interesting choice of methods to deal with the situation," Breacher says to no one in particular as he watches the fight break out.

Any chance that I could have seen this coming far enough in advance to have activated my astral armor?


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Well, if you were observing what Dolos did, you could have activated your astral armor.

I don't see any plot-pertinent reason I wouldn't have kept an eye on him as he walked over to the others, so...

Before the room erupts into chaos, a brief flicker of light can be seen from somewhere inside Breacher, seemingly coming out of his joints as armor spotaneously appears around him.

"Let's hope this doesn't spill too far out of control..."


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Waiting to see what happens...


Knifemaster 17. HP: 188/199. AC 30, FF 23, Touch 22 Fort +17, Ref +24, Will +14. BAB 12. CMB 14, CMD 31. Initiative +7. Perception +28

Gramaton will be taking a defensive action unless the Inspired escalates the confrontation.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

The inspired made an energy blade and starts cutting through his attackers. Revealing that he has some soulknife skills.


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

Seeing the fight has become lethal Citlackhad will try to quell the situation by force, summoning his own blade and shield.


Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

The moment the blade comes out, Jessilel stops singing!

Gyira takes defensive position directly in front of her, "This is a tavern! If you don't stand down and retract your blades, I will have to act!"


Knifemaster 17. HP: 188/199. AC 30, FF 23, Touch 22 Fort +17, Ref +24, Will +14. BAB 12. CMB 14, CMD 31. Initiative +7. Perception +28

Well that counts as escalation as far as I am concerned
Seeing the inspired begin to use excessive force Gramaton moves as close to the center of the room as he can and unleashes a wave of healing energy that affects all living creatures, friend and foe alike. He has not moved to strike the Inspired down merely safeguard those who have already fallen to it's blades.

Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

His metallic head turns to look at the Inspired as his hand goes for his cold iron morningstar. If it continues using such violent means it's clear he'll be jumping into the fray.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Dolos weaves his way through the crowd, placing himself in a position to move to flank the Inspired if ever any of the heroes that he recently met decides to attack. Then, he discreetly draws a blade...

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14


When my init rolls around (18 as per the roll above)...

Breacher moves up to this 'Inspired'. "Your use of lethal force represents a needless escalation of hostilites. Please stop or be subdued."

One slam attack, doing nonlethal.

Slam Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Slam Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

miss on your slam attack. Dolos has his blade in hand, his stealth was uncanny.


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

Citlackhad moves to the Inspired draws his attention.

"There was no need to form a blade for a simple bar fight. But I suppose that is to be expected from an Inspired."

Paying close attention to the Inspired, Citlackhad will strike to subdue if he continues attacking.

i.e. readied action


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

His blade discreetly hidden in his sleeve, Dolos waits to see what will happen. If the Inspired fails to heed the warnings of the others, or worse still attacks them with the intent to draw blood, Dolos will happily throw the knife into its back...


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

New round.

The crowd gets more rowdy. A brawler goes to strike Citlakhad --
brawler's strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
brawler's damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Another brawler attacks Gyira trying to get to Jessie --
brawler's strike: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
brawler's damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Someone breaks a chair over Gramaton.
brawler's chair strike: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
brawler's damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

A half-elf gives an upper cut to the inspired.
brawler's uppercut: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
brawler's damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Someone smashes a whiskey bottle over breacher's head.
brawler's whiskey bottle: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
whiskey bottle: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Dolos seems to be the one that doesn't attract any brawlers this round.

Meanwhile the inspired waves his mindblade around so he can cut his way through to the door.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Seeing the Inspired trying to make his way out, Dolos discreetly weaves his way through the crowd towards the door, and looks for a way to lock it or otherwise block it in order to hinder his enemy's escape.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Dolos can't seem to find the door!


Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

Gyira slaps the one who tried to get close with his tail!

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Damage (non lethal): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7


Knifemaster 17. HP: 188/199. AC 30, FF 23, Touch 22 Fort +17, Ref +24, Will +14. BAB 12. CMB 14, CMD 31. Initiative +7. Perception +28

Gramaton moves to try to knock out the inspired and put an end to it's violent lashing out.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 4 = 5
Slam Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Miss.

Gyira's attack was a hit.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Are we waiting on Citlackhad and Breacher?


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Yes, we are waiting on them.


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

Oops sorry.

Citlackhad follows up the Inspired shrugging off the painful blows and strikes towards the Inspired with the flat of his mindblade.

Nonlethal Mind Blade: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 171d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Hit. You do 5 non-lethal damage to the Inspired.


Is Breacher still around?!
