[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6071857, member: 79141"] [b]Session 59b - Cover identities[/b] Once the group had their paperwork sorted out, they simply showed up at a plush hotel as planned and set about looking the part of the wealthy Risuri landowner and his entourage. The unit's cover stories were embellished by the players, but provided by me, to speed things up. The main issue for a lot of the characters was disguise: Korrigan, the unit leader, was physically altered by a schism (becoming, effectively, an earthshock genasi). But he has been working with Malthusius' friend Isaac dan der Grimnebulin (master of arcane esotery and newly appointed mayor of the Nettles) since level 2 to master this condition. For this adventure, he invested a substantial amount of his stipend to finalise his training and can now appear 'normal', unless he loses consciousness. He is the wealthy landowner, and is feigning ill health. Uru is a deep faen (a halfling-sized gremlin with batlike ears). But he has always been able to appear in the guise of a human child - a little flourish we added during character generation. As an executioner assassin, he can now take on other disguises too, but his primary disguise for this mission is that of Korrigan's ten-year-old son. Rumdoom is Korrigan's bodyguard. To vary his appearance, hearing that certain dwarves in Drakr had taken to shaving their beards, Rumdoom has shaved his off too, leaving only a moustache. Leon has long pursued a personal goal to heal his terrible scars. He timed the final stages of healing to coincide with the last few days of mission prep, and subsequently remained out of public view. So anyone on the lookout for a disfigured tiefling will be taken by surprise... He plays the role of a Danoran guide. Malthusius is Korrigan's war buddy and personal physician. He remains a deva, but has shaved his beard and altered his dress entirely. Matunaaga has switched from pure ranger to ranger/monk hybrid and in the process ceased to affect the backwoodsman appearance of his adopted people (who live in the eastern Cloudwood). He has donned a suit of the latest camouflage armour developed by the Battalion, and shaved his head. Like Leon, he stayed out of sight until the group departed. He is Korrigan's foreign manservant. Finally, Sly Marbo once spent two years in a Danoran POW camp and escaped by learning the local dialect and masquerading as a native. (Turning into a hare helped him to get out of the camp...) So he is very much the expert when it comes to espionage of this kind, if a little bit uncomfortable to be back behind enemy lines. He has already been in Danor for forty days, and has been working on the railroad as a train guard for the last three weeks. Bit of a coup for the unit there. Sly knows the train layout intimately, although he hasn't worked on this specific train until this journey. Streetwise check got him reassigned; bluff check sees him working as ticket inspector in second class! Double coup. [/QUOTE]
