Well, if no one is opposed, I'll disguise myself and look for traps. What appearance would be the least suspicious?
I don't think the children will attack while trying to escape a burning pier. I doubt any would sleep through the commotion of a fire. I think any approach comes with some risk to the kids
I can look for traps if we decide on that route. I also have a magical disguise ready
What if we set the fishery on fire? Gaedren would run, probably for the boat, where we could capture him and it would only take one of us to save the kids
I assumed that I didn't hear her because I was concentrating on making an elixir.
Regardless of the plan, a disguise will be useful either as a scouting tool, infiltration tactic, or desperate escape attempt. I'll make the brew, I hope you don't mind the fumes. Merisiel puts her dark, twisting hair into a tight bun before carefully setting up everything she needs on the counter. She begins her work.
"I can help with scouting. I'm a good sneak, a decent liar and I can brew an elixir to briefly change my appearance. If caught, I can use another to escape quickly. Crowler, you of all people should know that lust is nothing to be ashamed of" She catches the Chelaxian's eye and winks.
@Alexio Varisian:
"You speak as if the two were mutually exclusive"
Alexio or Perception DC 18:
She quickly brushes his shoulder as Merisiel walks away "I can discrete but my elixirs won't be of any use to anyone else. We should go soon, we don't know how long we have until Lamm's agents know he's been found"
The Tiefling walks over to Alexio, leaning against both elbows against the counter and facing the room. "I can, perhaps, compromise on torture so long as Gaedren dies. I do hope you all think about what he has done and come to realize that he deserves worse than death." She looks down at Alexio, standing 8 inches taller than him, blinking her silver eyes, now almost free of red. Varisian: You seem to be a natural leader, what's your name?"
Disappointed by the beautiful Half-Elf, Merisiel says, almost whispering "A simple death would be inadequate retribution for the crimes committed"
Merisiel finishes her drink and pours another. "Sister, I'm sorry that he's alive to do that to you." She takes a deep breath. "I didn't come here to for justice either, I came for vengeance. How would you like to make him suffer before he dies? I'd like to watch him eat his own balls. I can't wait to stand beside you while we pierce him with a thousand stings." As she speaks to Pendleton, her eyes narrow. "If they are stupid enough to gather us before killing us, then they are stupid enough to underestimate us and die trying. That would be no loss. They would have it coming." She sips her drink "As far as official justice is concerned, I would be happy to let them try his corpse. Alive, Gaedren can afford lawyers to twist the truth until he looks like a kind old lady and we end up in prison. Why does the city have more right to hurt him then we have anyways? Killing him is a public service." Turning her back to Pendleton, she stands up and approaches Enviryss. "Did Gaedren hurt you too, or are you just a friend of Aleziella's"
At the word trial, Merisiel starts laughing from her belly and the wine she was trying to swallow gushes from her nose. You men are adorable! Do you really think that Gaedren could be brought to justice at a trial?! The law is built to keep things the same, not bring justice. In the eyes of a judge, Gaedren Lamm is a venerable institution. He's like the Academae of rapists, not that the Academae needs help with that. He might walk out of a trial with a medal. Killing him is the only option, but I'd like to see him suffer first." She pauses to regain what she thinks is composure and wipes the wine from her face, horrified of the first impression she's making but lacking the glibness to do anything about it. You say you work for Asmodeus, do you know how we might trap our mutual friend in Hell?" She notices Aleziella and takes immediate interest. "Have I seen you somewhere before? I recognize you. It's hard not to remember a um, face like yours. Her eyes move over the hals-elf's body as she says this. "Do you happen to be a Calistrite?" Hello Pendleton. My name is Merisiel Scaeva. You can relax, the wine is good and not poisoned. I find this unlikely to be a trap. Anyone with the resources to find all of us and give us all cards could have just murdered us individually instead of hosting a party.
"You know Lessilyn? My girlfriend and I help her out sometimes. I doubt she assembled a group to kill him though. As for Gaedren, well um, I'm not talking about that. It's personal." She quickly downs the remainder of her glass before pouring another, nervously sipping from it every few seconds.
Recognizing the wine, the Tiefling drinks enthusiastically. "Yup, I got one too. My name is Merisiel. Is there anyone we all know other than Gaedren and the gods? She turns back to Reynotto "Humor and alcohol are two of the ways. So, how do you know him?"
Merisiel smiles, this time genuinely at Reynotto, if a bit half-heartedly. Palidin, eh, hopefully gets to know a devil, before smiting her Subtlety can only take you so far in conversation. I'm not sure I've met a paladin with a sense of humor before. I'd be happy to drink with you, but let's make sure this isn't a trap first" She opens a bottle and pours into a glass.
Merisiel stops running when she sees the open door. She stops to think but abandons her caution when she hears the conversation. Disappointed by Lamm's apparent absence, she tries to put on a smile before walking in. "Did Calistria also speak to you two?" Her smile vanishes as she realizes how abrupt she sounds. Her mother would be disappointed"I'm Merisiel, alchemist and servant of the Lady. It's a pleasure to meet you. Is there anything I can do for you? I'm anxious to make that rat suffer." She thought this was better. Too excited to wait for a response, she looks around the room.
Ancestral arms and 1/4 evolution point per level are in APG.
Thank you. I'm finished. I am using the +1/2 bomb damage per level even though it doesn't do anything at first level. I have recorded that in the profile.
This is Pelloth's submission. A CN Tiefling Alchemist devoted to Calistra. She's CN because she distrusts authority and is neutral, I don't intend to play as a derailing chaos-monger. It's 90% done but I haven't done my favored class bonus or gear because I have a couple questions. Am I allowed to use the Tiefling favored class bonus or is that considered use of ARG? What's your policy on starting with crafted items? Different sources conflict on Tiefling aging. The PRD says my starting age should be 20 + 8d6 but middle aged at 35. I interpreted inconsistencies as Tieflings being pretty variable and went with what my copy of the ARG said. I'd like to keep it because it works with my backstory but I'm obviously willing to change. Let me know if there's anything else I should fix. |
