All the best to all. Thanks EltonJ for giving it a try. Again. One more in the "inactive" bin...

RIP Threat of the Inspired?

As the Kalashtar remains silent, Dolos steps away, and disappears into the crowd...
Stealth in crowd: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
When he feels that it is safe to change his guise, he does so, and then returns as Irus the Beggar.

Dolos looks up at the Kalashtar expectantly...
Merry Christmas!

lol. It reads like a Stooges skit. Clearly, I meant to write that Dolos hands the case to the Kalashtar, Citlackhad!
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
Dolos hands the Warforged the scroll case...
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
"As far as I can tell, it's in Quori. I can't read it," he explains to the Warforged, while returning the scroll case. He feigns to just then notice Citlackhad, and continues: "a friend of yours? Perhaps he could help?"
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
So... Anything interesting?
After having taken the time to peruse the contents of the scroll case, Dolos replaces it, and allows Gramaton to carry the body away.
Then, he makes his way into the street, and disappears...
Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 Result is 21 if he can take 10, which he would do under these circumstances
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
When he is confident that he has not been followed and that no one is watching, he changes his garb to that of Irus the Beggar, and returns to seek those he guided.
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
"A moment?" he asks the Warforged Cleric. Dolos inspects the scroll case, and then opens it. Are there any interesting, pertinent documents? Correspondances? Plans or maps?
Note that if Gramaton does not wish for Dolos to have a look at the school case, Dolos will not insist and allow Gramaton to carry the Inspired's unconscious body.
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
Dolos nods, while scanning the Inspired's body... Is there anything there of interest? Anything that could provide a lead as to his plans? A scroll case? Or a pouch?
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Dolos conceals his knife in his scarf, and looks around him for a couple of strong thuggish types who could carry the Inspired away in exchange for a few coins.
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
Discreetly, Dolos retrieves a pouch of marbles, which he lets falls to the ground in front of the door. Move action
sleight of hand: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Then, he strikes, hoping that his blade, along with the blows struck by the others, will render the Inspired unconscious. Standard action
sneak attack (assuming that the Inspired is flanked): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d4 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + (4) = 6
If Dolos is not in a position to sneak attack, or cannot take a 5 foot step to place himself in a position to sneak attack, can I reconsider my action?

Are we now waiting on Gerrytt?

Dolos makes his way to the door while reaching for his tools. He pretends to struggle to open it, while in fact locking it.
Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

For the record: I pinged Breacher. No answer...

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!

That's right... Completely forgot... Happy Thanksgiving!
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...
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
Question: how do you adjudicate Stealth and Sneak Attack? Total Concealment does not deny the opponent's Dexterity bonus to AC. However, the rules do state that said Dexterity bonus is applied when opponent is aware of the attack, which I believe is not the case presently?
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
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Waiting to see what happens...
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

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
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.
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!"
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
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
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
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
Enjoying the music and the festivities, Dolos makes discreet inquiries about the strange, red-skinned man.
Diplomacy to Gather information: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
Is the Inspired there? What is he doing?
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
With haste, the changeling disappears into an alley and changes his guise, becoming Dolos, a traveler come to Stillstone to find work – the sort of work most people frown upon.
He steps into the inn, and surreptitiously finds a spot near Jessilel and the others in order to overhear their conversation.
Bluff, if necessary: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Stealth, if necessary: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 (+4 in crowds)

I will lead the group there. If Citlackhad doesn't show, I'll go and try to find him... Bearing in mind that beggars are probably not allowed in taverns, Irus will wait outside, and Dolos will make an appearance under another guise.

From a distance, can Dolos see the Kalashtar's reaction to Gramaton's mention of an Inspired in the streets of the neighbourhood?
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 (+5 to intercept secret message)

We're still inside, I believe... but coming out soon, and it's unlikely that you won't notice the Halfling and his companion, the stunning Half-Elf, the massive Kalashtar, and – perhaps more importantly as far as you are concerned – the Warforged Cleric!
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
Dolos counts his blessings, and then returns to the Jorasco hospital, hoping to find the newcomers still there.
After all, Irus promised to guide Jessilel to a good tavern, and the Halfling seemed to need directions for a delivery. And maybe they they will want to help the boy, he thinks.
Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5
For a moment, Dolos wonders who this boy could be working for? An organization based in Stillstone Holt?
Knowledge, Local: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
"I'll be back," Irus whispers before moving out to follow the boy. Taking advantage of the crowds in the streets, he shadows the boy from a safe distance.
Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
