Know(History): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Know(Local): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Know(Nobility): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Again trying to avoid being heard by the fake Mr. Gauthfallow, Martin pulls Tellias aside and whispers, "If Mr. Gauthfallow has already been murdered, it had to happen very recently. I doubt they had time to thoroughly clean up after themselves. We should try to find him more quickly, perhaps it's time to forgo pretending to believe that this thing is the real Mr. Gauthfallow?"

I'm here, but just following Tellias's lead as Martin is still unsure of how to find out what happened to the real Mr. Gauthfallow.

Hanging back, so the person can't hear, Martin whispers to Valtyra, "This is strange. Do you think that maybe this, er, 'construct' actually believes it is the real person?"
He thinks a moment.
"Of course this begs the question, where is the real Mr. Gauthfallow?"

Martin tenses as he sees that this is probably not going to end well.
"Telias might be able to get this thing to give us some real information." Martin whispers to Valtyra and Ciapha.
"Let's try to keep violence at bay for as long as possible."

Martin listens intently to the interplay between this man and Telias, sensing Telias's distrust. He reamins silent for the moment.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

I'm still here, just not sure what to make of the conversation going on currently.

Martin attacks the remaining enemy (another paint construct I assume).

attack 1: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

attack 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Sorry for the delay, dealing with hurricane effects at the moment.

FYI, my initiative is +7, not that it makes a difference in this combat

"It looks like someone is hiding behind those curtains" Martin points to the buldges. He the prepares himself for whatever awaits.

Remember, Martin and Ciapha didn't witness your previous encounters.

We just came up those stairs, correct? So, east or north?

"I can lead, I'm unhurt. We need some light though."

Martin attempts the same thing again.

Disarm 1: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Disarm 2: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

the dice roller hates me.

Glad you told us that, I was going to waste a move action next round to Demoralize...

"You might hurt someone with that axe, flailing it around like that. Let me relieve you of it."

Martin then attempts to disarm the man with his first attack.

Disarm: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

attack 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Ciapha said she was staying behind me.

Not sure where the enemy is, is he within 5'? If I have to move to him, then ignore my second attack.

Martin shifts into a combat stance and steps to the charging man. Not wanting to kill a possibly innocent guard, he uses the flat of his blade.

attack 1: 1d20 + 20 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 20 - 4 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 (nonlethal)

attack 2: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 15 - 4 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 (nonlethal)

If I don't get a full attack, then my 1st attack is -2

I don't see a bad guy on the map?

"Telias? Well, at least I'm not as worried about being on the bad side, at least not the really bad side." Martin heads up stairs.
"I'm not that helpful dealing with traps, but more of dealing with the after effects."

Martin looks around the room, especailly at the suspect tapestry.
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Lol, an auspicious beginning

"Good eveming, we were wondering what was going on? Noticed the Vault official at the commotion in the streets, are you working for them?"

Martin is still unsure of the reason they are here, and wants to make sure he isn't becoming complicit in some sort of theft.

Martin follows, russhing for the door to avoid the dog.

"Then let's proceed. Ifd you vouch for them, perhaps we can help."
Martin heads for the inside.

"If you know them, then perhaps we can avoid any misconceptions when meeting them."

Yep. :)

Martin turns to Charlize.
"Hmm, first they visit a well known art critic, then they sneak on to the estate of an out of favor artist? Yet, they also seemed to be in the favor, at least, of an officer of the Vault? I don't know what to make of this. Perhaps we should get a better view. That way we can intervene if they are in the wrong, or support them if they are doing a legitimate investigation. The night was getting boring anyhow."

He looks in to the yard.
"Do you think the dog will be a problem? I don't want to kill it just in case we are the actual tresspassers."

First, do I know the owner of the first house they went into, and then the house they are currently entering?

Know(local) 1st house: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Know(nobility) 1st house: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Know(local) 2nd house: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Know(nobility) 2nd house: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Hmmm, breaking into a house after a fight in the streets? Perhaps we will follow them to see whose story is correct.

If you want us to join quick, then the last option seems the best. We just need a reasonable justification for butting into the affair.

Dotting so it shows up in my notifications

That sounds plausible, Charlize. I guess we can wait for the GM to let us know how we get introduced to the Party. They seem to be in the middle of a fight right now.

OK, here is Martin's avatar.
