Ephesian will also get to the gossip. "Oh yeah, I hear they let all kinds of horrible monsters into the society." He says, pulling up his hood. Ephesian Aputhil's Diplomacy (E): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

With the path cleared by Sunshine, Ephesian charges in to hopefully draw some attention away from Tieri.

Ephesian takes a long hard look at the runes on the ground and shakes his head.
He then glares at the creature menacingly.
And calls upon his oracular powers to throw a handful of darts.

With a nod to Sunshine, Ephesian will try to be honest with Lolly while attempting to calm the Kobold down. "One of Muesello's allies requested aid from the Society since he's gone missing. We're trying to figure out what's going on. You must admit, the situation is quite odd. Is there anything else you can tell us about Muesello's disappearance?"

"Could you tell us more about these people who assaulted you? Was there anything else that might have identified them?"
This is not going our way lmao

Ephesian puts on his best (hopefully not-too smarmy) smile, puts his hands together and starts flattering. Diplomacy (E): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 "You know, with your artistic talents, I feel like you're incorporating the violence into the message of overcoming tyranny in your celebration of whatever this is"

Ephesian will approach the artist, doing his best to look impressed by the burned statue. "Good Afternoon. Garrix, I presume? We are actually here to learn more about what befell your marvelous monument. We'd heard it had been damaged by some ne'er do wells."

Brother Nebulous U. Nimbus wrote:
Ephesian frowns, trying to think of a plausible explanation for any of what Opal had found, especially this 'mysterious' stranger, but he keeps his lips sealed until after they've left the shop. "Thank you Opal for you help in this matter. We'll be taking our leave now. You have been most helpful." Upon getting back into the public, he tries to pull Brother Nebulous aside. "What do you think the chances are that this is someone framing the Venture Captain?

"Lady Morilla, do you have any leads on who else might be involved in these events or why they would want to frame our Venture Captain?" Ephesian's mouth twists in an odd fashion as he brings up the framing, obviously questioning whether Muesello might, in fact be involved. Without any particular leads, I agree we just go down the list

As Ephesian enters the room, flames roar up around him, he is cloaked in a thin layer of smoke, his clothes are singed and his body is twisted and streaked with bits of metal. A tail swishes under his cloak. He smiles slightly at any remaining symbols of Sheyln, as if being told a joke only he can hear. Upon hearing Brother Nebulos' speech, he immediately walks up and grasps hands, his smile broadens as he feels the energies of Razmir. "My oh my, I've heard such stories of Razmir, but never had the opportunity to meet an actual Razmiran priest. I would love to talk more about your religion when we have the chance. I personally prefer to just take what power the gods leave laying around." Taking a breath, he turns to Dindarin.

I also have 3 glyphs to share, though it sounds like we already are well above the threshold to each being with 2. I ran this 2 years ago, but have never played it. Ephesian is going to be level 5 by the time that we start, and is fine taking some friendly fire. There are a couple oddities for Ephesian:
Infernal Detonations:
From 01-11 Flames of Rebellion You are the rightful master of the infernal keep known as Diggen’s Rest. Once per adventure, you can use the following reaction: Infernal Detonations [reaction] Trigger A creature within 30 feet of you targets you or an ally with an attack; Effect The creature takes fire damage equal to 1d6 + your level (basic Reflex save). The DC of the Reflex save is equal to your spell DC or your class DC, whichever is higher. 3) Ephesian is a Regalia and Mirror Thaumaturge, so everyone who stays within 15ft of him gets a +1 status to saving throws against fear and I reduce frightened values of allies within 15ft of me by 1 at the end of my turn. There might be two of me when this happens. 4) Finally, Ephesian has the flame oracle archetype, so he's going to be casting Oracular Warning at the start of combat and lighting himself on fire a little bit (1 persistent fire damage per round.

"I can't help but think that this is only the beginning of something far more terrible to come. The Chelaxians aren't known for their mercy as we've seen. Fare well for now my friends. I hope that we will meet again soon and I pray that it will be under better circumstances" Thanks everyone. This was a very intense, but quite a fun game. Thank you GM Tiger for running this one as well!

"Sir, there is no possible way that we can allow you to take everything that you have said. The items you speak of are dangerous and as Pathfinders we wouldn't allow our enemies to have such things even if it cost us our lives. Further the information you seek also could harm those that we have been charged with protecting. If you want to be seen as reasonable, act more reasonable in your demands. Surely there must be some way we can avoid coming to blows here without giving you the world on a platter." Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Ephesian pauses, trying to avoid rushing in headlong. Instead he tries to demoralize the big pink bug and then fires needle darts at Pink. Demoralize: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 Needle Darts: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Ephesian draws himself up, looking Sabina in the eye. "Madame Sabina, duty is what holds us together, but when it is blind it acts as the walls of Greensteeples themselves - binding us to fiery doom. True duty must always serve the people and your people are here with you, in need of your help. Come with us so that you may continue to serve your people." Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Seeing that white just attacked Tarta when she tried to move away he will take a longer route to get into a flank, avoiding his strikes. ♦Stride

Ephesian Looks over Red, sensing weakness within him
Then he lets out a low growl, trying to intimidate Red.
Finally he lashes out at the enemy ♦Strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
The +4 is from Personal Antithesis, so if they do have a weakness greater than that, feel free to replace. Also not doubled on a crit

Ephesian calls upon his minor Oracular gifts to try to turn White into a pin Cushion from afar. ♦♦Needle Darts: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
But misses terribly. He then steps forward toward Red

I think Ida or Poppy would be our best bet at overcoming this obstacle. My best skill for this would still require to me roll a 15 :(

Ephesian is also not great at any of these skills, so he tries to channel the spirits to understand more about engineering

Ephesian, looking like something that might have just escaped a fire himself begins fearfully asking people in the crowd what could have happened. Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Ephesian thinks for a moment. "I would prefer to gossip. Any chance to spread the good word is my preferred way of doing things. I would probably be alright at forging documents, but stealth is...not my strong suite.

Ephesian takes the graveroot and carefully stows it away on his person. "In place of a real healer, I can serve in a pinch as well. I have the ability to use scrolls of all kinds, and try to keep one or two on myself regularly, though I will also often be in the thick of things, so it can be a little dangerous at times depending on the enemies we face" Ephesian takes a rank 2 scroll of heal for his provisions.

A twisted humanoid with gobs of his flesh hanging off of himself in strange lumps joins the group, his skin is red as if ready to burst into flames, smoke issuing forth from his body occasionally.
GM Note: Ephesian is a Thaumaturge with the Oracle Archetype and will use Oracular Warning at the start of each combat that he is able.

Ephesian will give Zac a Rousing Splash, which might not help that poison too much but at least it'll give him a little more hp to let someone more skilled help him recover. Rousing Splash Temp HP: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
