Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Hey, I thought I tagged this game too but I missed it when I posted in all of them.

I've had a real bad turn of real life events, to the point that I am currently livening out of my car until the first of the month. Now, it's not that bad considering I am moving into my own house on the first and life will be completely back to normal then, but for now everything is extremely hectic. If you could, please bot me for now if I don't post for a couple of days, and I will be checking in every chance I get to post, which may be sporadic and infrequent. Thanks!

Thestil snaps her belt into a large weapon (approximately the size of a greataxe) and follows Zurznal.
Same action as him

Stop or die!


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil nods.
I'd planned on it. You lot just make sure I don't get attacked by something no one saw.

She takes a brief look at the group and smirks.
We'll have to go over all of those papers in detail before we leave. Together. I'm not giving a half ass report to our superiors. For now, let's go. We have to take care of this... new problem. I wonder if this is what that thing earlier was trying to warn us of.

Thestil sidles up to Joliryn.
So why are you here? And what can you tell us about this place that you've learned?


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil points at Joliryn and mutters
Traitor! You're standing in the way of my Ascension!

She throws another injection dart!
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Does my previous experience of playing as Joliryn and having that chronicle on the same character that this one is being applied to matter in any way?


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil stays in the doorway, and smirks slightly as she throws a dart at the closest enemy. The dart glows with a deep crimson hue as it flies.
Injection Dart: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Injections:

Thestil creates eight psychic injections each day. She can activate one as a swift action, after which she can apply it by touching a creature as a standard action. The target takes a –2 penalty on Will saves and to its natural armor bonus for 2 minutes. When applying an injection, Thestil can attempt a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check to apply it without the target noticing; the target can spot the attempt with an opposed Perception check. If secretly applied, Thestil can choose to delay the injection’s effects until she triggers them as a free action while within 140 feet of the target. The effects of multiple injections do not stack.

Injection Dart:

This behaves like a normal dart but stores a dose of Thestil’s psychic injection. If she hits, she can choose to affect the target with her injection. The dart breaks after being thrown.

Thestil keeps careful watch of outside the room as Shohiraj inspects and trips the hidden lever.

Thestil nods, and speaks to rest of the group, describing the imagery in detail. Read the spoiler, for some reason my copy paste is stuck on an attack routine from a previous game.
I think it's trying to tell me that a group of people in red coats will try to stop us from stemming the tide of monstrosities, but there is a... crab creature(?) somewhere that will aid us. At least, that's how I interpreted it.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil ponders for a moment.
If it can tell me something about my future, maybe it can show me how to get back on top in the Consortium... I just have to convince it that I wish the same thing it does...

Here, let me try. I have an idea.

Thestil reaches out to the tendril, and thinks in imagery, like the aeon. She thinks in the image of the six agents, standing at the scales, and then rebalancing them. She thinks of the image of herself, holding the frame still and bracing it against whatever is coming out, and of her and her allies stemming the tide of ants by blocking the exit of the anthill.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Hey all, I was without wifi for a while there. I switched providers and they told me there wouldn't be a lapse in service... Then I got a lapse in service because they had to run cable to my block. I'm getting everything updated now.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil takes a step back, and shakes her head, as though trying to clear it. At the information of it being a communication, she described what she saw.
Wait, if it's trying to talk to us, then we need to figure out what it's saying! I saw a picture frame with rapidly cycling images of everyone I've ever impersonated hovers behind me. Suddenly , it changed to a bird's eye view of Wirholt's Rictus. A set of hulking manacles writhe around the perimeter of the plantation and suddenly clamp shut, entangling the frame like a noose. Almost instantly, the frame melts the manacle with a fiery burst, monsters surge from the manor in all directions and the scene blurs to that of a hourglass, which suddenly shatters to pieces.... Do you think that means we don't have much time before this place is attacked by something?


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil takes in the sights, and then shrugs.
Now what?

"Joliryn, you say? Isn't that the one that abandoned us last time to go fight inside the tapestry?" Looking around at the others as he recalls his last mission with her.

"Yeah, I say we corner her and see what she's up to. If the answer doesn't appease us, she may just have an accident..." as he finishes, he winks in Falth's direction.

For those that weren't with us in the prequel, I played Joliryn and bailed for the dragon choice

I did the exact same thing!

Thestil, still disguised, tries to see if she can locate the hafling's tracks to see where she went. Not seeing any, she turns to the rest of the group.
Can one of you track her? Having her information would be valuable, her identity even more so.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil muses out loud as the others talk
And if Joliryn is working for them, then that will be an easy one to kidnap and impersonate...


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil sees Shohiraj and shrugs to herself, before silently regrouping with her. She sidles up beside the Aspis Agent and whispers to the two of them.
Joliryn, you say? Is she perhaps an undercover agent, or is she working with the Korholm group? Either way, I was trying to find a way in that I could perhaps exploit someone's identity to use and smuggle the rest of you, but no luck. What did the rest of you find?

She sighs, and changes her appearance to that of any of the random people she saw previously, for the sake of moving across the grounds easier.
Using Change Shape special ability for "detection check"
Disguise: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (5) + 35 = 40


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

If Thestil doesn't see anything worth her time, then she will begin to try and peek into the manor windows and such in order to find someone to emulate and gain entry. She will then murder them, take their identity, and resume with her plan.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Yeah, I'm waiting on a better target, and also trying to see how often people enter, leave, and how many are on the outside at any given time. My intent is to find a decent target, capture them, interrogate them for a bit to know enough to pull off thier mannerisms, speech patterns, and basic knowledge so that I can pull off "being them" if someone asks a question that pertains to something they would know. I don't want to have to "fake an answer" if someone asks something. Once I'm inside, I want to try and smuggle the others in, either by clearing an area near a door or through a window or something. Bonus points if I can get unrestricted access to the other areas with my disguise.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil is nothing if not patient. She waits in the shadows, waiting for someone of more "importance" to show up.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil will watch the main complex, to see if there is someone she can easily impersonate. She will then attempt to assassinate that person outside of earshot, and then use their identity to smuggle the others inside.

I'm pretty sure this is more than one round, so let me know how I have to handle all of the rolls.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Thestil nods.
Very well. That is enough for me. We should be off immediately.

The doppelganger stands and makes for the door, and then turns.
When the rest of you are finished with your conversation, you should meet us there.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

I played Serpent's Rise as Joliryn. The character that I got the boon for Rise is the same character I will be applying this boon to.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

A whispering, raspy, and feminine voice speaks up from the back corner of the room, where pale, hooded figure sits.
Blunt instruments, yes, but this type of job requires a more... fine touch. We need to get in and out unseen, no? And what shall we do if those blunt instruments get us discovered before we've made our kills and acquired our information? Stay your power, horned one. At least until we've drained the blood from their bodies with our blade and we've finished our mission. Then you destroy it all...

You get a strange sensation that when she says "we" she's speaking only of herself.

She stands and moves eerily silently up to the front of the room. The shadows seem to cling to her.
We must know more to be successful. Information. Entrances. Names. People to hunt. Whatever you have, dear leader.


Female Doppleganger Mesmerist

Dot!!


Profile done. Glad to join!
