Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

[sblock=ooc]I can't find anything on Bane, but I did confirm that dismissing spells is a standard action, at least according to PFSRD. It's buried a bit in the Cast a Spell section, though, so I only recently ran into it. link[/sblock]

Confronted by the wall of guards, Eanos falters a moment.

"What's going on is that this man--" he points to Blancher--"and his goons assaulted my dear friend, for starters. Hitting a helpless woman. Who does that, I ask you?"

[sblock=ooc]

Ugh. This is going to hurt:

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien opens her mouth to help her companion, completely heedless that women are not even supposed to be in the bath house to begin with.

"Liars and cheats, that's who! He and his friend cut me with a knife too. Look at my arm!"

"This man is a thief too."

The half-elven girl even tries to push their luck a bit.

~ 3:58pm: The Roses - Bath House ~

Rolf moves away from the lithe tart and sits down on the bench.

Blancher response is smooth at the obvious slander. "Oh come, come now. Let us not throw around such insults that no one will believe. I have been a member here for a long time. Who are you going to trust?"

The lead guard looks at Eanos and frowns, "He has a point. You are a newcomer and recent member." He neglects to add briber to the list.

The rest of the bath house has stopped what they were doing and watching the events play out.

[/sblock][sblock=OOC]Okay so a spell that doesn't require concentration to maintain needs an action to dismiss. Makes sense. However, thinks that are counted in rounds used (Bane, Rage, Bardic Performance, etc...) Have stipulations of what it takes to keep them in effect, yes? Therefore, if you don't keep it in effect, it drops for free I think.

Btw, this is not ending up how I planned it. But I am rolling with it. Tyrien would not snatch the jewels in the fight, but she would now if Eanos were to communicate that.[/sblock] Updated Map

GM: You are up Round 9 Guard swaying is even now.

 

[jkason]

[sblock=ooc]lol. Well, that makes two of us.

I'd be more than happy to make a snatch and run attempt, except that there's a literal wall of guards to get past. I'm looking at the layout of the bathhouse, and I'm having trouble figuring out anywhere that would give us enough freedom of movement to make a run for it if we snatched the jewels. And that still leaves not-super-cheap magic items abandoned in the lockers (and we're running down the street in towels again How far. [/sblock]

"If this is the kind of clientele you serve, I do very much worry about the ethical center of your business model," Eanos returns.

"I apologize. That's quite unfair of me. My blood, well, it grows quite warm in the face of injustice. The fact is I myself thought the good Master Blancher a fellow of poise and influence, only to discover, as he bragged about the method by which he had stolen wealth from an innocent, that he was nothing but a thief in noble clothing.

"But surely, gentlemen, we need not have this conversation in the very open air? Mayhap we could retire to the lockers and return ourselves to a more acceptably-attired appearance?"

[sblock=ooc]I won't lie. I'm pretty much flailing here. I can't come up with anything that doesn't end in a complete mess. But, at least Eanos seems to be lying a bit better now:

Tyrien is not sure they can talk their way out of this with Blancher talking. Best case results she is seeing appears to be getting tossed out and they do not have what they came for.

She snarls under her breath to Eanos, "Enough of this. Shut the door and grab my jewels back will you."

Tyrien reaches to pull Blancher's shoulders back and into the steam room. She drags him back inside and way from the door.

"Try to talk us out of here and not arrested, if you can."

[sblock=OOC]Agreed, I am not sure if opposed social checks are a viable method to resolve this anyway. They are often just luck. Not what I planned for the encounter at all and you have been hampered by Tyrien not being a fully free thinking player.

Since you did not actually do actions, perhaps we can try something else. After Tyrien, you would still have actions that do not necessarily interfere with your last dice roll. So, it is still your turn.[/sblock]

 

[jkason]

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

"Your je...? Oh, of course, dearie," Eanos says, quickly catching onto the change in tactics and snatching at the bag of jewels as Tyrien pulls Blancher and his silvered tongue out of the room. Eanos steps into the vacated space, pulling the door closed with him.

"You'll have to pardon her. My lady does not take well to those who steal her shinies. As I was saying?" he continues, flashing the shine of trinkets quickly. "What kind of honest man runs about with jewels stuffed in a nondescript bag? The kind who is trying to sneak his ill-gotten gains off to a fence.

"If we can but collect our things and leave, I can promise you on all the gods worth trusting that we shan't bother this establishment again. Surely a quick return to peace would benefit your membership?" He nods surruptitiously to the agitated members in the large common area.

[sblock=ooc]Okay, I hope I understood this right.

So, Standard CMB to take the jewels. If I read right, taking something in a hand requires disarm even if you're 'stealing' it:

Disarm (take jewels) (1d20+5=22)

Not bad given Eanos' abysmal bonus. I'm hoping a bard doesn't have a great CMD.

Move: through the door. I'm not sure if I can pull it closed as part of the movement or not. If not, it shuts on its own if previous experience is relevant, so not a big deal.

I didn't re-bluff, since we were saying these actions were part of the same "round," yes?[/sblock]

~ 3:59pm: The Roses - Bath House ~

Eanos succeeds snatching the pouch from the half-elf's hand and shuts the door.

Blancher objects to the taking of the jewels, but he has the strong tart to deal with after the red-headed fop steps out of the steam room and shuts the door. "Hey! You are going to pay for this! What the hell are you doing? Get this bitch!" He yells at his seated bodyguard.

The man stands up and tries to wrap his arms around the half-elven girl. A stiff arm block prevents him.

Blancher bends to pick up the dropped knife near the door. He whirls around and slashes at the half-elven tart. He mananges a scratching cut as the woman evades the worst of the swipe.

The guards look at Eanos with frowns on their faces and glance over his shoulder.

The lead guard is skeptical, "Yeah, I think it is safe to say your trial membership is going to be revoked. This quite the disruption and can... be bad for business." He gives Eanos a look and raises his eyebrows.

The other guards follow his lead and glance at him and then back at Eanos.

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

Eanos pauses a moment as he notes the lead guard's expression, then nods, his expression contrite.

"But of course," he returns. "I'm a businessman myself, and I fully understand the impact such events can have. I'll be happy to do what I can to compensate for the inconvenience, of course--" here he raises his own eyebrows similarly to the lead guard. "If you gentlemen could help me collect my lady and help us leave with our property, letting you return your establishment to its normal tranquility?"

[sblock=ooc]Eanos is assuming the guard's asking for some money, and is offering the same if they'll help the two of them get the heck out of dodge with their gear and the jewels

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien snarls, "You want to play that way again?! Alright, you asked for it!"

She reaches under her towel, and gives both men a view of her panties. But in her hand is the dagger she smuggled in. Charging it with arcane energy she slashes the blade at Blancher. She cuts him good.

Blancher slices again and delivers another little cut. "Hey! I am paying you!" He snarls at his bodyguard in return as the lithe woman is armed and too dangerous. "Sorry, boss. Give it up, she is deadly with that thing."

Blancher is too stubborn, "You and your pal owe me for those jewels if you keep them."

The lead guard nods and none of his comrades object.

"Okay, let us conclude this and you can leave. Never to be seen again in this place."
