'The message was rather vague, for security purposes, no doubt. I'd best not get into the details here, but suffice it to say that it appears she needs assistance with a certain problem she's having that seems to have spiralled out of her control.'
Zen stares sideways at the half-elf for a second, before adding 'I doubt that Shalandra will be "relocated" anywhere she doesn't want to be, unless she's changed significantly since we last met". He chuckles, imagining how Shalandra would react to someone trying to order her around.
'If you could take me to her, that would be most helpful... The place seems to have changed since last I remember it. My name is Zenith Kael, by the way. You can call me "Zen" if you want."
He looks around, as if trying to regain his bearings in the busy environment of the tower.
Alacar nods and smiles, figuring that if this was some sort of attempt at theft, sabotage, or assassination then Shalandra could easily foil it. At least, with help. "I'm Alacar Leoricar.. I'm working for her along with a few others around here.. a pretty important job, though right now we're.. well, I don't want to talk your ear off, and I'm sure this information is rather secret." He chuckled a little, looking for the archmage.
Well, Yukora definitely knows that the mysterious drow knows something, but the drow is currently talking to the minotaur.
I'm now waiting on Wuffles.
And debating over whether or not I can kill him.

Someone once asked me why, when I talk about House Dimir, I don't put the word "the" in front of it.
At the time, I had no answer, but it just came to me.
Do we put the word "the" in front of God?

ehehe, well, you CAN try if you want - but AOK generally frowns on blatant PKing, unless the story demands it - that is, it's okay if it's on HER terms.
Also, apologies, new job, less posting time. Plus, new Dominion INTRIGUE just arrived.
The minotaur leads the drow down a series of winding streets.
Small children, looking every bit the innocent cutpurses they are, wander around, sizing up the two with appraising eyes. One look from Apachai is enough to put them off, however.
The city smell seems to be diminishing, the further the two walk. Well, diminishing is the wrong word. The further Apachai walks, the more that the rancid stench of sewerage, smoke and sweat is overtaken by a series of delicious aromas. Yes, this is certainly a halfling neighbourhood.
Eventually, the minotaur stops in front of a rather unimposing looking staircase. There is a small sign above, reading "Cozy Jakob's parlour".
The scent wafting up from the staircase, however, is utterly intoxicating. Never has the scent of roasted meat, well-made mead, and freshly-cooked bread combined into such perfection.
Without a word, Apachai walks down the staircase, into the parlour.
Jen, feel free to smite me if you think I'm backseat narrating too much here - but I figure, you're not exactly here to set the stage, sooo you can't smite me till then. :sneaky::o:sneaky:;)
"Not 'somewhat', he is a legally certified omen of death and destruction, I think a Barony actually made an official proclamation, i told Oreo to keep one of them as a souvenir, would you like to see it?" Poe says with a chuckle.
"No im pretty sure he does not want to see that forgery, that man was no Baron i tell you, he was some swindler who was good with a quill and had stole a royal seal or two." Oreo says to the bird before looking at Thorel once more.
"Really sorry about this, anyways, Im new to town and so the merry band, Poe wanted to see you all up close and i had nothing better to do" he says with a smile, the bird seems about ready to say something, its beak is wide open, but no words come out and decides to just return to cleaning its feathers.
Since i forgot, Oreo shows no sign of suspicion, since he knows nothing about this whole shindig :p.
If you are still sensing Motive by this point you can tell the bird probably wanted to say something but was commanded somehow to shut up

Wuffles, do you really want me to try? Remember that doing so might actually be 'in character' for my character, especially after the racial insults.
Malin Maren wrinkles his nose at the smell. As Apachai heads down the stairs, he takes a moment to quickly tap his fists together, then tap the bottom of his right hand to the top of his left, then he quickly opens his right hand and pivots it downward until his fingers are pointing stiffly at the ground. After that moment, he steps down, pulling out a small flask of lichen wine and taking a swig. Following the minotaur, he remains silent until spoken to.

Of course not. Player killing should remain the domain of the games master. I don't understand why people on this site don't get that. Players killing other players is NEVER fun for the whole game. Seriously.
Also, I think that Jen needs to come out of the woodwork and post now, please!

Well yes, Wuffles, players killing other players happens to be rather frightening, not to mention illegal, though it could be kind of fun for the killer, depending on the location and method:sneaky:. Now, player-characters killing each other is, in my opinion, feasible if it's 'in-character.' That's not to say that I build characters who will automatically have the inclination to kill other PCs, but I will never metagame my character's actions. If a DM allows me to play a NE rogue/assassin of Mask and allows another player to run a Paladin of Lathander, then my character will be planting a dagger in the Paladin's eye the first chance he gets. Self-preservation, you know. Similarly, if I'm running a priestess of Lolth and you're playing a non-female, non-drow character, then I'll probably want you scourged for looking at me. And if your character dares speak to mine without my permission, then my character will want to kill yours as a matter of course.
I think it detracts from the quality of the game every time a player metagames around what would be 'in-character' for his character. And I'd much rather have a high-quality game where PCs might kill each other than a low-quality game where I know my character is safe from purposeful destruction by other PCs.

While I agree with Ti'rin about PKing, I'd rather him not kill Apachai, because Apachai is too fun to lose.
Sense Motive to decide which one of the raven/gnome is the master, really.
Dice Roller1 D20 rolled with a +44 modifier
20 + 44
Know: Arcana/Planes/History/Religion/Bardic on the gnome. +5 if you can be considered as "identifying monsters."
Dice Roller4 D20s rolled with a +42 modifier
6 + 42
15 + 42
4 + 42
7 + 42
Stohr scratches his head as he tries to grasp an image of the gnome/raven and who he really is.

Wouldnt Spellcraft or Arcana be more fitting for figuring out who is the master and who is the familiar? Sense motive will tell you about their behavior btu i dont think it can be used to adientify Master/Familiars

My aim with some of the checks was to know what he had done, mostly. Especially with bardic/history, if I know of some mentions of his deeds. It's good to know what he is, though.

Well ok... hmmm You have heard of the Goblin Kingdom he helped establish, you remember hearing about some gnome being hired to hasten the demise of a plague ridden Goblin tribe, somehow the goblins found a cure to their plague and enough magical might to craft their own kingdom. the kingdom lasted for a few weeks until the gnome left and then three days later a coalition of several Humanoids infiltrated their keep, stole the item of power the goblins had found and proceeded to do what the Gnome was asked to do in the first place (you also seem to recall the funny fact the gnome only got paid half of the agreed amount, the other half was supposed to be collected after he finished the job but it seems the gnome had forgotten about it entirely).
You also remember rumors of a portal to Mephistopheles layer of Hell opening up on an Elven Forest, some rumors said a gnome and a raven where seen arguing and bickering while they walked out of said forest but theres no concrete evidence to sustantiate that.
Anything else i leave to AoK to craft, whenever she is able to get back

And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Meaning we can end the stall and move forward.
