"We're on official business. This is a test. We've got some similarities to the potential fugitives, and we are testing who can spot them. Let me have your name. I'll record it, and you will be suitably rewarded."

Deception: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (3) + 30 = 33

If I still have a hero point, then I'll let you roll it...

Deception: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (6) + 30 = 36

Perception: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26

Because of the feat Lie to Me, they would have to make a Deception 40 to fool me.

"To reiterate what Sassara said, you know how they treat failures. They won't even bother to put a bounty on you. They'll just have you assassinated. We, on the other hand, are perfectly willing to let you have you lives in your own hands. All you need to do is to tell us what the plans are, and the name of the person pushing our unfair punishment."

Deception: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (11) + 30 = 41

"We have no beef with you. Let's sit down and talk this through. I hope you won't mind if we confiscate your weaponry."

Confiscating their weaponry is a Shameless Request. My Diplomacy is +26

Not really. I didn't design Tomas as a fighter, but, more as an infiltrator.

I will be away until Wednesday.

Tomas will use a single action to don a disguise as what passes for the enforcement arm of the Red Mantis. (Perhaps even as Inquisitors of Achaekek.)Deception is +30

"Calm yourselves, brethren. Mantis Vernai have us on the case. You two." Tomas points at the Riot Twins. "The Twins. Now you've gone and done it. We were stalking them. Stand down! Now!"

Deception: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (4) + 30 = 34

.

Deception: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (12) + 30 = 42

Tomas strolls in, like the noble that he is. Asking to be seated at the best table and brought the best tea service.

"I'd love to have a cup of tea."

Society: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (5) + 25 = 30

Tomas is Legendary in Deception, so disguises shouldn't be a problem.

Can Tomas use his Deception to try to get everyone to avoid the 100 gp Main Gate tax?

Tomas steps forward, "We are completely innocent of anything that would have made us anathema. It is but the machinations of those who would soil the name of all of us."

Every lie contains bits of truth...

Deception: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (14) + 30 = 44

"Mantis Keeper?? Can we trust this. It could be a trap."

Gossip Lore is +21. Any chance I've heard some gossip about the Mantis Keeper?

Maybe we should buy some antidotes.

I already have Resistance to Poison 7 and am +1 vs poisons.

Stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40

Deception to fake corpses: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (14) + 30 = 44

Please add/subtract based upon whether we have appropriate remains and use of Elite Disguise Kit

"We can fake our deaths. It should just require some conveniently dead bodies. I'm pretty sure I can 'doctor' them up to pass for us."

"Jax. I'd be perfectly willing to portray a mage with a familiar. Or, even the eidolon to your summoner. You could certainly ride on my shoulder. It would slow me down a little, but, if I'm going to disguise everyone, what's one more lie to tell to the curious?"

Yes, Tomas will take the Greater Striking rune spreadsheet updated

Tomas will also buy a Bring Me Near spyglass.

I've taken the Mask of the Mantis, and, I will be purchasing a Cloak of Illusions (Greater) for 1,750 gp

Agree about the Yurt and just taking the money.

Updated to 15.

RETCON prior action

1) Take Cover vs Kitsune

2) Javelin Attack (no -6 penalty)

◆ Stride 35 feet closer

Instead of throwing the javelin (at a -6), I will Mark Orange for Death. This makes me not hidden, most likely.

Here's hoping I succeeded on the Hide check at the end of the previous round...

◆ Javelin strike on Orange: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (17) + 27 = 44

Sneak Attack damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5) = 14

Tomas tries to think of who would want them killed. Well, who would want them killed recently.

Perhaps a Society check (+23) or a Gossip check (+19)

"I'm just not cut out for running. Let's assassinate the assassins!" he says, almost gleefully.

◆ Create a Diversion. Deception vs its Perception DC: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (13) + 26 = 39

◆◆ Assassinate

Reflex save: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (15) + 28 = 43

Noticing that invisibility isn't helping, Tomas will Take Cover.

Then attempt to hide: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31vs Perception DC

Then, throw the javelin: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (16) + 27 = 43
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5) + 5 = 15
Sneak attack damage: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5, 4) + 2 = 15

I will be completely offline this Friday through Monday.

If you could see him, Tomas would look like this was a bad idea.

◆◆◆ Mark for Death.

Tomas will drink a potion of Invisibility.

Tomas backs away, getting his whip in hand. "It's bad enough we had to kill him a thousand times. Now, we got to deal with his spirit?"

Religion is the ONLY skill Tomas is NOT trained in. Oh, well...

Tomas puts away his Javelin, neatly coils his whip at his belt, takes out a silk handkerchief, and while dabbing at his forehead says, "Well. That took a lot. I suppose it is time to loot the body, get healed, and get out. Do we need proof of his death? Nothing like carrying around a head in a bag."

With that, Tomas will begin stripping Ordulf of any valuable he has.

◆◆ Cast Live Wire at Ordulf: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38for: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 3) = 11 slashingand: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 4) = 14 electricity damage. If I failed, he doesn't take the slashing. If I crit, he takes double damage and 4d4 persistent electricity damage.

◆ Quickdraw the Javelin at him: 1d20 + 27 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 27 - 5 = 28

◆ Haste attack with the Javelin: 1d20 + 27 - 10 ⇒ (18) + 27 - 10 = 35for: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2) + 5 = 11 and 1d6 persistent bleed.

Damage, non-lethal with sneak attack damage: 1d4 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (1, 4, 2) = 14

Tomas manoeuvres himself around Ordulf.

Tomas, its worth remembering that Skarn has Gang Up and therefore enemies are off guard when he threatens them.

Now that Skarn mentions it, Tomas will no longer arrange for flanking.

Do you also do sneak damage?

I don't think so. The Trip action is not a 'Strike' per se, so doesn't seem to qualify. Of course, if you wish it, it shall be so <<grin>>.

"Stay down, dammit! You're so bad at fishing, you can't even take the bait!"
◆ Feint, Deception vs Perception: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (9) + 27 = 36
