Ryosuke Kyubi's page

Walking back over with a hefty tankard, Ryosuke picks up the conversation with Katarina. "I've been speaking to people all my life, but have since found my mimicry to be so accurate as to allow me access to areas usually unaccessable by those not in the correct circles. I still remember the first time I did a heist in Haseong, in my home country of Hwanggot. A noble from Lingshen had come to Haseong to buy some new art for his mansion home. While there, he offended several artists in my 'family's' turf. The noble never realized that he had done a great wrong in Hwanggot. Never tell any artist that their work isn't even good enough to hang in your privy, let alone one from my home."

Ryosuke chuckles, taking a hefty swig of his mead. "I walked into his room, while he was in the bath, disguised as him. His guard in the room questioned why "his master" was back so quickly. Told the poor sap not to question his liege and to wait outside while I changed into the noble's clothing and took as much gold as I could secret on my person. As I left I told the guard to go have a well deserved drink, and to report back to his post in no more than an hour. Even after the 'repirations' were given to the artists, and the family taking their cut, I had enough left over to enjoy a good drink myself. Not in that business anymore, though I do have several contacts on that side of the world still."

At this point, as the alcohol begins to affect Ryosuke, the accent is slipping more toward Tien.

The figure in the hood tilts his head slightly, and speaks again. Albiet, with a more northern accent this time around. "Is the sword speaking to me?" He pulls back his hood to reveal the visage of a scarred Hallit man. "I have my hands in a great many things. I specialize in infiltration, as you can see...or not? Forgery and translation are a large part of that, often enough. I am a Trade Prince as well, as Mr. al’Hakam sanctioned my businesses. I have several carvans to assist my in my lucrative, but less 'savory' dealings. My extended Family assists in my ample buisiness ventures, and I've always got a selection of items available at The Pickled Imp. Excuse me. I'll be back in a moment, the bar here has excellent Ulfen mead." With a grin, he finishes his tankard in one long draw and walks over to bar for another drink.

A short Tian gentleman sitting quietly in the corner chuckles, and finally decides to speak up in a perfect Taldan accent. "As much as it amuses me to sit back and enjoy the bickering, I really must point out that only a very select few of our number are as you've described. I've met several of those of which your old allies spoke of. I even know a Pathfinder agent that is an Air Elemental. Riding ancient creatures, like dinosaurs and mammoths, isn't terribly common, but I've seen a few. I've several friends among the other factions who ignore traps, as they are hardly phased by them. Others I know try to harvest the traps for themselves to use against foes, ot safeguard their own dwellings. Hell I even know of a rather large dwarf with a statue of Lissala in his home. One that tries to kill him or those around him on a weekly basis. To say that we aren't an eccentric lot would be a lie, but I assure you, we aren't the murderous lot you've described as a whole. Also, if you ever need a translation or forgery, please come see me. I happen to be quite versed. If I cant help you, well...Let's just say I know a guy." With that he sits back down and takes a drink. When done he pulls up his hood, casting a shadow over his face.

A note, left on the desk of the Master of Swords.

"I am not one to draw attention to myself... not in my true form, at least. Please inform the appropriate parties that The Ten have seen fit to promote me to the status of Seeker. I leave on a sojourn to conclude some long overdue private business. Should you have urgent need of my skills, simply put the word out. I will know.

--Kyras, the MystBorn"

Kyras will be taking a brief retirement until we can put another Eyes table together. At which point, the Master of Spies will be adding another venture captain to his ranks. And if you didn't know there was a Master of Spies... well then he's doing his job right, isn't he? ^_^

A short tian man approaches, transforming before your eyes into Ambrose Valsine, and then to Zarta Dralneen, before reverting to his previous form. "Ah, but a spy should be able to just walk right in to get what he came for. I find that I've the aptitude to do just that, and much more as needed. Lurking in the shadows is all well and good my friend, but a true spy must be able to infiltrate where no shadows exist. I hope we meet again once I attain Seeker status, for we can see which of us might fill the role better." With that, the man silently walks out, and you see another transformation as he rounds the corner, of him becoming a non-descript servant.

Genghis Cawn?

I'll just let myself out...

In our area, we have quite the collection of distantly-related Blachros cousins, at least one Kitsune who enjoys disguising himself as NPCs from last week's scenario ("No, I'm totally Lander! Really!"), and a pirate captain who commandeered the Hydra's Fang--all good fun.

And then there's the ever-exanding Flutterfoot clan of the Flying Flutterfoot Family Circus and Traveling Pathfinder Lodge...

As said Kitsune, I've also started a scenario as Amara Li, only to have Amara Li give the mission...was quite funny. Ive also done Nefti in several adventures. Young boy from Kaer Maga, suddenly whipping you across the chest with a flimsy blade. When no-one can pierce the disguse, or my lies, who's to say who or what I truly am? Diplomat and Spy, able to speak nearly every human tongue, and only revealed my natural form twice.

The mask of stony demeanor.

Breaks the magic item cost/creation guidelines so badly.

But I love My +10 Bluff and my +5 to feint. Goes amazing with my +10 to Disquise as anyone I've met.

I'll be bringing a few different monsters just in case one or two get denied entry.

One more question Curaigh:
Are we following the Monster Class Level Advancement Rules on page 296-297 of the Bestiary? In particular, this portion:

Step 2: Add Class Levels
Once you have determined the creature’s role, it’s time to
add class levels. The first step of this process is to modify
the creature’s ability scores. Creatures with class levels
receive +4, +4, +2, +2, +0, and –2 adjustments to their
ability scores, assigned in a manner that enhances their
class abilities. Creatures with NPC class levels do not
receive adjustments to their ability scores.

Just to verify, we get only the listed equipment and potions equal to
Class Level 4=1
Class Level 5=2
Class Level 6=3

Is this correct?

@Pythia: I'd be willing to trade a Kitsune boon, but you need to create a profile I think or something as I cannot PM you. Please do and PM me :)

Sent you a PM.

Have: Undine
Want: Kitsune or Vishkanya

I have character concepts for both of these races in my head.
