Missive, Xov:

Not too shabby...

GM the results of my checks (I am envisioning that we will have several hours before finding Hasphat, Sharn is a big city after all)


"Thrask" will pull a disappearing act and get in contact with one of the Concordant contacts in Sharn... Then he will perform some shopping (books on Thrane and the Silver Flame).

Thrask pops another missive to Xov.

Missive:

It is time for me to be gone, tell me are you seeking any particular items or pieces of information? Absylon can retrieve them for you if you so desire.


Threak lowers his wand and sends a brief, annoyed missive to Xov.

Missive, Xov:

I swear, this country has no sanity whatsoever...


Thrask seeing one of his associates get punched draws his wand and points it menacingly at the dockmaster...

Hand in the air now, whelp! Otherwise I am having some crispy man flesh!

intimidate1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19


already have it just waiting for the appropriate game to unleash it upon...


about the only think they got right with 4e was the warlock and that was for flavor reasons... Not mechanical.


I am a Pathfinder man to the core, this system is good, it could use a few changes but still it's a good system... All it is missing is an official warlock class (I admit I have some 3.5 nostalgia for the Warlock).


Message, Xov:

I am putting more trust in you then any organization period. Most organizations are easily subverted and considering the enemy it is safe to assume that all intelligence agencies have been at the very least infiltrated if not outright subverted.

You play for small, insignificant stakes: one nation among many. I play a game where continents and civilizations are either saved or destroyed... If you show promise Absylon may decide to put your name forward to know more, however not even he has the authority to perform a direct induction... If those higher in the Hierarchy decide that you warrant a summoning they will let Absylon know...

Thrask raises the bottle to take another sip and his lips blow subtly over the rim of the bottle...


Thrask takes a swig and uses the motion to cover his barely moving lips...

Message, Xov:

Absylon's cover story has been established, he works for an old, tottering half orc chasing after days of glory long past... While our employers cannot for obvious reasons be disclosed we are authorized to inform you that we mean no deliberate harm to any of the Five Nations...

Unfortunately with the way events tend to transpire we cannot offer any true guarantees, for in truth nothing is certain in this life.

Missive, Xov:

[i]Perhaps it is time to involve you... Open up a link between us and come closer, we don't want the others hearing what we have to say... The Dragonmarked are a notoriously indiscreet lot. Pretend that you want some of this most fine beverage...[i/]

As Thrask sends his message to Xov, he brings a bottle of fine Malt Whiskey from his coat and begins to uncork the sacred substance...

GM how much would a fine bottle of Malt Whiskey cost? I am assuming that Thrask will always carry a bottle with him to help his disguise.


They may be onto me but Absylon will continue his deceptions, after all the point was not to fool the other PCs... It was to establish a cover story for Absylon, for the Dragons are watching...


Thrask makes an appreciative whistle at the sight of the ship and claps Ebran on the back...

My boy I wish I could travel on this beauty for a while but I must be off in a bit, my employee Absylon however will accompany you for the ride.

bluff1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35


Thrask is ready and disguised as usual...


lets move


Damn it!


Unknown, I only arrived in time to witness the transaction... It is likely a lost cause but Cassadar may not have fled, we should check the Skyway top to bottom. As for your "patriarch" I am willing to wager that the "real" patriarch was replaced a long time ago... You can mind control a target sure but teach him how to manifest mindblades?


I believe gentlemen I need to drop a name for you, the man who handed the sack to the dark haired crazy was Cassadar, an innkeeper on the skyway. I was tracking her, I believed that the sack contained the payment for the assassination... Feel like some good old fashioned rough rousing interrogation?


Thrask concentrates briefly...

Missive, Othan:

I'll charge him, you circle behind and kick his shins...

Thrask moves in his fire breathing wand pointing at the patriarch...


Thrask will when his turn is up unleash this little badboy...

UMD if required1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

If successful Thrask crushes the bead in his hand and a ball of fire starts to take shape in his clenched fist, as it gains size Thrask unclenches his hand and the ball of fire roars as it strikes the two foes...

Oh it's good alright, using my 5d6 fireball bead GM, save dc 14

damage5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 4, 3) = 12


Thrask takes a small step (five foot step) and concentrates briefly on Othan...

Othan, missive:

Get out of the way, I can finish this...

He then withdraws thirty feet and calmly takes one bead from his small necklace...

Forgot my UMD check with the wand rolling it now, count it as having fizzled last round if the check fails...

UMD1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19


Damn it, Dragons and now the Dreaming Dark...

Kill the madwomen before she finishes her insanity!

diplomacy1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 (Influence the Crowd to take a chunk out of this woman...)

Thrask then pulls his fire wand out and charges forward to point blank range...

Assuming max caster level of five for the wand, make adjustments if that is not the case

Burning Hands 5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 1, 2) = 12


If the sack the dark haired woman was holding is the astrolabe Thrask will use Cloud Mind (dc 17) and remove it from her grip...


Thrask will pursue this woman until he can find her alone...

Let's see whether or not I am worth the Draconic tattoos inscribed across my back...

I am assuming that I am using the same stealth check I rolled previously, if not then tell me GM and i'll roll a new one.


Hmmm... This "Cassadar" sounds like the man I need to speak to.

stealth to avoid detection, using Chameleon PP 16/181d20 + 10 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 11 = 34


I wouldn't be so sure... For all we know Xov's parentage could be Sulatar or Umbragen...


Thrask is still hiding out, he will be using his Chameleon power to help him do so...

Names and info please, Thrask is considering a little burglary... Of the Watergate kind.


GM:

Info on the non canon names, or tell me the required knowledge/gather information check...


GM:

Thanks to the books I think I got a knowledge check of about 28 on nobility...


Time to pull a dissappearing act... And do some investigation, this isn't the Aurum... Interhouse warfare is the only answer, now what were the names of the conservatives again...

stealth1d20 + 11 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 10 = 29 11 is my skill bonus, 10 is from Chameleon. 1 powerpoint expended 17/18

perception1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

thrask is going to wander the areas he can and go about it quietly and unseen if possible... GM what does my prior research unearth name and history wise about the more conservative branch of The House? Also anything about the assassinated half elf?


Thrask wakes up and calmy proceeds to use his disguise kit, however to most all it appears to be is a skin oil... Unusual for sure for a half orc but not something worthy of notice...

taking 20 on disguise...

Thrask will proceed to the main hall to await his fellows...


Did thrask learn anything from his rolls?


Only disadvantage of not following an adventure path, you have no script to follow when your player's roll their dice like maniacs...


Thrask sweeps his hat of his head in a respectiful salute to the dead and speaks to the Inquisitor...

My good Inquisitor I am sorry to hear of your loss, as a professional contractor I have an interest in assisting my client, Ebran. You see I was contracted to assist him and I would like to know if your brother's death would have any "ramifications" that might effect my client's safety...

Thrask looks thoughtfully as Ebran and then points at Xov, himself and everyone else in quick succesion... His finger points at your heads and then mouths...

bluff (secret message)1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

secret message:

Link


Hero points are an 8+ luck bonus if applied to a d20 roll, i Had one before the previous use so now I'm out. This is per the prd. the Twenty meanwhile is a result of taking twenty, think about it for a minute Thrask is't trying to impersonate anyone who exists. And the rules don't state anything about not taking ten or twenty on a disguise roll if you have the time to do so.

Thrask calmly stares the Shifter his eyes unwavering...

Listen hear shifter, like you I am a mercenary, just older and wiser. The fact of the matter is my contract states I am to assist you by whatever means are required of me, short of directly intervening on your behalf due to old age. A man in your position needs all the help he can get, you want cannon fodder to take the heat while you sneak behind the enemy I can supply. Want a small army on short notice I can supply it, I can make your life easier son but only if you have the sense to allow me to do so.


As allies of my employee, Absylon I believe that you are entitled to certain "benefits"... No ones knows from day to day what you will find in the "merc pit", however with this being Sharn the Droam contigent will be large... You always find something or someone "interesting" in the Droam contigent, like a Medusa for instance...

Thrask's eyes seem to briefly glaze over as if remembering a memorable event from the past...

Those were the days, they were brief but they were good. At any rate, I am willing to recruit and pay mercenaries on your behalf youngsters. Although the exact details will depends greatly on the mercenaries in question, for instance I won't completely fiance a Medusa's contract but I will subsidize it with my own funds if you will make up the rest...

using hero point, GM I understand that since I am trying to lie again so I receive 10- penalty. Do I have documentation that shows I am really "Thrask" and if so how much of a bonus does it give me? If he does have the documents Thrask will show them as "convincing evidence".

bluff (make them believe Thrask is Thrask)1d20 + 11 + 8 - 10 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 8 - 10 = 28


Not a member, but perhaps a mindslave...


Depends, my knowledge of the Elven renegades is limited... However I can say this, in all my years as a mercenary contractor I have never gotten the chance to recruit Thurani operatives as "mercenaries". If this is Thurani the people who hired them whether they be the Aurum or not are way beyond your pay grade...


gather information1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12


It seems someone or something sent an "assassin" after darky over here... No whomever that was is not worthy of the title "assassin" I have employed "budget ninjas" who could do a better job then he did!


Thrask grimaces as the assassin fled... He quickly sheathes his wand and takes out the other, a white stick with a little, blood red bead at the top.

Is anyone wounded?


Thrask grunts and charges into the room, his black wand with a fire motif at the ready...

Youngsters give me a clear line of fire, today we be having crispy elf!

Note that I am using a library wi fi (forgot about that option) and my posting rate until the real modem arrives will be sporadic (and decided by how resistant my buttocks are to bicycle riding each and every day)

perception1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24


Thrask also joins the "pursuit"


Would Thrask know anything about these guys in particular?


How many hero points do I still have left GM?


Thrask calmly examines the manor looking for any guards or so forth who mean "trouble".

perception 10 for 18


let the games begin, lets hope Thrask can hold his whiskey...


The backstory said he was Cyran...it said nothing about "House Cannith". House Cannith may have the majority of magical item makers in the world but by no means would it have a total and complete monopoly. Black marketeers and crafters of magic items will always exist, especially in Xen'drik. Think about it, every nation would have there own artificers who owed their loyalty to only that Nation... Xov's mistrust of the Houses isn't exclusive to him.
