[b]As an Ambassador you have certain rights, one of which is not having to suffers the whims of the city guard. Besides they will not be the ones doing the investigations. Im sure there will be questions for you and the investigators will make an appointment with you in due time.
The important thing is you are not harmed, i would under stand if you wish to retire for the night, but if you choose to stay please let me and a few of my college's join you. I am sure lady Calista and Dame Rutatri will be happy to keep you company [\b]
As a crowd starts to gather around the tent, and whispers start to spread of the "devil summoner", Barnette steps forward clapping
Bravo! Bravo! Ambasador you are a man of many talents, you could have told me you were such an adept on the stage. And my, look at those devils! so life like! that must be hours of make up!
Barnette turns to face the crowd
Ladies and Gentlemen it seems tonight we are to be entertained with scenes of intrigue and attempted Assassinations! Who is behind such nefarious actions and what could be their motives? Do not tarry here my fellow revelers for you may be missing the next act as we speak! and please a round of applause for all of the actors here!
Use Peerless Patrician to assume a Nat 20 for a 47 on bluff
Barnette then turns and makes he way to the ambasador, looking for signs of injury
Amasador are you harmed? I do not think it wise to be here when the guards show up to ask questions, I of course understand such ways as this
Barnette motions towards the devils
But many do not, and the Chelish are not well loved here, I must council against summoning like this in such public places, my dear Ambassador
Barnette motions to Franco to restrain the women
Ambassador Valignatir please let me handle this from here, dismiss you servants and i will deal with this women and the City Guard when they arrive, it is the least i can do to try and solidify relations between our two nations.
I have my men working to quell any rumors, spreading their own rumors about the side show you just appeared in, as well as increasing the alcohol content in the punch so soon most of the gossipers will be do drunk and marry to wonder why there are no more scenes
Barnette lets out a small chuckle
Welcome to Oppara Ambassador, I think you will do well here
Barnette smiles at Lady Calista as she slips on her mask
i shall let you know as soon as i have a timeline and a price on your deep crystal My Lady, but until then please excuse me, i must get to know our newest Elven guest and her most intriguing companion
Barnette bows to lady Calista
and then turns to Dame Ruatria and offers her his hand then motions with his head to head towards the center where there is now a throng of people dancing.
His garments also shift colour and shape to compliment the colours and design of Dame Ruatria's garb and his head band shifts and wreaths like a slithering snake then finally settles into a half face Mask
Barnette laughs at Valignatir's comment about treating the "street urchins' as equals
I believe lady Calista could answer that for you, she has a way with the, "lower classes"
No please excuse me, I look forward to talking to you again ambassador.
as Barnette turns to see who had bumped into him, his is surprised to see the tall women, he aslo sees Franco reaching in to intervene and with a stern look at Franco, Franco removes his hand from the ladies shoulder.
Barnette is intrigued by the accent he can not place until he sees Terim bow in the formal Osiriani way, he then smiles knowingly and says in perfect Osiriani:
Good lady it is me who should apologies, clearly i was so caught up in my own goings on that i did not notice you and was not able to give you room to pass
Barnette then does his own version of a formal Osiriani bow.
Barnette then terns his attention to the elf woman and he raises an eyebrow at the mention of the harbor master, some one Barnette has plenty of dealing with and loathes, as he is constantly trying to extort Barnette when he is not out right trying to catch him importing illicit goods.
Barnette extends his had to take Dame Ruatria's hand and kisses it and then says
Dame Ruatria it is a pleasure and an honor to make your acquaintance, as the Lady Calista has pointed out, I am Barnette Bright a humble merchant with a penchant for acquiring exotic goods. Please dont apologies for lady Terim here, this is a busy place, literally rubbing elbows with strangers is the point of the night if i am not mistaken
Barnette lets out a hearty belly laugh to lighten the mood.
Barnette's attention is then turned to the Chelish man with a mace on his back making his way towards the now growing group, as Lady Calista recounts what she has heard of him.
I do not doubt he is dangerous Lady Calista, one would not so boldly brazen weapons at an event like this if he wasn't adept at using them, but men like him dont concern me, they will tell you to your face that they intend to kill you and usually give you fair warning, our other guest will cut your through while your sleeping
Barnette is amused as he watches Lady Calista deal with the young man, swirling and sniffing the fine wine, before taking a sip.
Well met ambassador, i was hoping to see you once you had settled in to our little city. I was wanting to discuss some trade matters with the chelish, i wont go into boring details now for the sake of our guests, but please take my card and once you have settled in please let me know when will be best to chat.
Oh and if you require anything to help you settle in, perhaps some Chelish art work or spices from home as Master Ash has said please let me know if i could be of service.
Barnette is then interrupted by a loud booming voice as the festivities of the event begin.
for mechanics purpose Franco my Eidolon is always 5ft behind me unless i state otherwise
Barnette was wary of Mr. Ash, while they had similar interests with competing Brothels, and Barnette had fenced a few items through his connections for Mr. Ash, Barnette new this one was dangerous and his underground connection went deeper than brothels and selling ill gotten gains.
My Lady, this is Master Ash, Son of prominent noble Davram Asharrod. Master Ash is a Purveyor of Pleasures. And as it would seem an excellent selector of wines.
My Lady, I think it is best to keep this one on-side, I don't think him as an enemy, yet, but you do know what they say about keeping friends and enemies close
We would be honored to join you Master Ash, of course unless My Lady has somewhere else she needs to be?
Suddenly Barnette jerks forward as a strange furred foreign woman walks into him from behind. Franco steps forward and grabs the woman by the shoulder.
in the event of a sudden ambush (dont know what the gm is going to throw at us :p ) i thought i would include a part about any special abilities, spells and potions in effect that would change stats ect.
Special Abilities, Potions & Spells In Effect:
Greater Shield Ally: +4 to AC and +4 to Saves to Barnette(already included in stats)
: +2 to AC and +2 to Saves to all other allies within 5ft of eidolon
Barnette smiles widely as the lady approaches, clearly confident and self assured, which is made obvious by the fact that she does not wear a mask, she has Barnette's attention.
Why my dear lady, you have heard right I am a purveyor of fine items and a procurer of items, how you said, that are "hard to get"
Barnette reaches out and takes the card handed to him, fluent in Elven he soon realise that the card is gibberish.
A Puzzeled look crosses barnette's face as he hears the voice in his head.
Lady Calista, of course i have time for you, and yes i know who you are, but of course you made no attempt to hide that, I am both glad and intrigued by your visit
He says with a warm smile, while at the same time thinking
I have heard of your unique abilities good lady, but i have never experienced them, i must admit i'm a touch taken back. But sorry, yes a crystal you say, I stand by my statement i can procure anything.... for the right price
Barnette steps down from his dais and offers Lady Calista his arm,
Shush Franco, i'm talking to these nice people, He's such a chatter box some times.But please accept my appologies i digress.
Yes, yes, you wanted to know about my more exotic wares, well let me tell you, if YOU can imagine it then I can get it, of course those with large imaginations need to have large purses
He says with a hearty laugh
Always wanted a pet tiger, no problem!, perhaps you need a new chandelier to illuminate your entrance hall with magical lights and phantasmal images sure to wow the most discerning visitors, no problem!, or perhaps you need something simpler, some jewelry or new clothes, something that is the latest fashion from cheliax or adoran, well you guessed it, no problem!
Please take my card, and the next time you find your self in need of that perfect gift for someone that has everything, please drop by one of my stores and any of my associates will be happy to help
Oh and before you go, how about we keep this just between us, i mean i dont mind the extra business but i would hate to sell out of that perfect gift you were wanting
Please good Ser's and Ladies, Allow me to formally introduce myself,
Barnette Bright the 12th, humble merchant at your service.
What type of merchant i hear you ask? well only the purveyor of the finest silks and rarest spices from the furthermost corners of Golarion.
a wry grin grows across his face, as he leans forward and continues in hushed tones.
I can tell by the look in your eye that silks and spices do not excite you, well then come closer and i shall tell you about some of my more exotic acquisitions.
Please, please come closer... oh, dont worry about that handsome devil behind me, that's just Franco, he keeps the rif-raf at bay, he's just a big cuddley teddy bear, nothing to be frightened of
Ok so i wanted to re-submit my character as i didnt full apply the Noble Scion levels before and i was missing a few bonuses like Greater Shield Ally from my eidolon ect.. I also made a few tweaks, i felt my initial build was a bit combat focused and while you said there will be some combat its unlikely we will be traipsing through a dungeon. (in saying that i'm all up for dungeon crawling and i think my character would still hold his own)
I have also included my cohort as well. I know im probably getting way ahead of myself but im just enjoying the character creation and fleshing out the dynamics of my little family i have going on atm so dont mind me while a create my fantasy land :)

So i been reading through the back stories of the other characters and i think there are some interesting stories that could unfold.
here are my thoughts on how Barnette might interact with the other characters.
Lord Rook::
It seems they both have a common interest of protecting the crown as well as wanting what is best for The Empire, however they have seemingly different methods and means of achieving their common interest.
While Barnette has only been a noble for a few years and is relativitly new at court he has taken a liking to lord Rook. He sees him as a sort of father figure and while Barnette uses corruption and subterfuge to play "The Game" he is intrigued at Lord Rook'd ideals of ridding the capital of corruption.
I see potential in Lord Rook mentoring Barnette and possibly swaying his ways from the underhanded to a more "noble" cause.
Lady Kyra Rubicon::
Barnette is distrustful of Lady Kyra, her attitude of indifference to the well-being of the empire makes her a difficult target to read and to understand her motivations.
Barnette would keep Kyra at arms reach until he could learn more about her history and motivations
Lady Gabrielle d'Apcher::
Barnette is enamored by Lady Gabrielle's grace and beauty, he see's her as a possible suitor and potential equal in wit and charm.
Barnette is not interested in marrying for power or wealth and only sees a beautiful woman that has as much cunning and finesse as himself if not more and he revels in the idea of the intense cat and mouse game of courtship that Lady Gabrielle will most surely provide
Lady Geneviéve Aelia Agrona Atropa::
Lady Genevieve's martial prowess is an attractive quality, while Barnette has always relied on others for muscle, he is both intrigued and admiring of the Lady Knight and her story of rise to the courts of Oppara.
Barnette Believe Lady Genevieve is not as well versed in the ways of court life and he will try and sway her opinions to that of his own, always playing a dangerous game to see how far he can push the "Lioness"
Barnette's Personal Motivations:
Barnette has designs on being the "Master of Coin" as well as a trusted adviser to the emperor. He also has an alterier motive of revenge.
Barnette has been dreaming of revenge of against the crime lord that sold him into slavery since he was a young boy, Barnette has always know who the crime lord was and has had more than a few occasions where he could have hired assassins to kill the man, however Barnette is patient. He wants to wait until he can expose the crime lord who also happens to be a noble and then have him exiled from taldor.
The Noble in question is a member of a particularly powerful family with known ties to the underworld and is also a powerful player in the royal court. Barnette must rise to power and turn the other nobles against him as well as gaining the kings ear and favor so that he can exact his revenge.
Thanks for considering my application. My back story was a little short i just wanted to cover off the major points and get my concept up for consideration. I'm going to spend a bit of time fleshing it out and also working out how my character would interact with the other players.

Over 10 years Barnette grew very good an manipulation and gathering information. He managed to find out about an assassination attempt on the emperor and he told what he had found out to the lion blades and the attempt was foiled.
The Emperor granted him an audience and asked him if he would like a reward. When barnette asked for a ship the emperor was intrigued so barnette explained his history and explained how he wanted to become a merchant. The emperor granted Barnette a ship and a small kitty of gold to get him started.
