So I've started running CotCT about a month and a half ago and my players have reached the end of Edge of Anarchy. Pardon the obscenely large post. They include the following characters:
Sebastian: TN male half-elf bard 4, dancer, and most urbane of the group.
Also doubles as the voice of reason and master of the whip.
Penelope: CG female human cleric of Cayden 4, master of unusal weapons (Catch Off-Guard), keeper of Majenko.
Ember: NG female half-orc fighter 4, former student of Vencarlo, half Shoanti and master of the rapier.
Baercallad: TN male gnome druid 2/illusionist 2, alchemist, possesses keen imagination, and current keeper of Chiktik, the heroic giant frog.
Ronak: CG male dwarf ranger 4, master archer, Sable Company Marine cadet, and all around fun loving guy.
After the arrest and indictment of Trinia Sabor, the party, having complete trust in her, decides to do their best to set her free from her execution (which they found out about that morning). After throwing around several ideas and finding most of them rather hopeless, Sebastian supposes that perhaps they can enlist the aid of Blackjack to help. With this idea, Ember proposes the following plan.
Baercallad can cast a spell allowing Penelope to trade places with Trinia after disguising her to look like Trinia. After this, Penelope will escape the "bindings" keeping her pinned and make good her escape after Ember, dressed as Blackjack, appears to startle the crowd. Simultaneously, Sebastian with his high fly check (Versatile Performance) will make his way on hippogriff that Ronak secured for him being a Cadet in the Sable Company. Penelope would meet him at the wall while Baercallad used Zellara's Harrow Deck to create the illusion of a multitude (Approximately 100) Blackjacks appearing throughout the crowd and in front of the queen.
This plan goes off rather well, Sebastian dropping the water from Dust of Dryness on her highness as he passed, and Ronak firing smokesticks on arrows into the crowd to cause further confusion. This is after Ronak tricked the Commandant of the Sable Company and Penelope bluffed Archbanker Tuttle into leaving them alone. After all of the confusion, the real Blackjack shows up simultaneously as Ember. He was rather confused by the number of Blackjacks and by the damsel running by him to a hippogrip on top of the wall.
All of the characters make their escape as the crowd is too confused to know what is going on or even notice the real Trinia who by now has cast Disguise Self from a scroll Baercallad provided and allowed them all to meet back at Zellara's where they are currently keeping Trinia. I must say, not a bad bit of rescuing.
That's amazing.
I wonder how Blackjack will think of the players later on because of this... did they sully his name or did they do right by him?
