Name: Alyssa the Census Paladin
Race: Human
Classes/levels: Paladin 3
Adventure: Crownfall
Location: The Dignified Repository
Catalyst: Abandoned by fleeing friends
The party (Ranger, Bard, Investigator, Paladin), desperate and panicked to rescue Martella, all but races to the Dignified Repository upon emerging from the Senate. They decide to bluff their way in, Star Wars-style, with the Paladin as the "imprisoned" Chewbacca.
With solid bluff and disguise checks but not really sure about where to go, they get all the way to Mr. Smiles' office before their ruse is uncovered, leaving them with an entire warehouse of silent initiates to fend off. Smiles' "scare" spell sends the Ranger and Investigator fleeing out the broken window at full speed, leaving the halfling Bard and Alyssa to be swarmed. The Census Paladin - so named because she clumsily tried to get information from senators during the Exaltation Gala by claiming to be part of the Prince's vote-census office - was overcome and coup de graced by Mr. Smiles, while the Bard was taken prisoner.
