Ardie stays with the strange girl. What is someone like her doing in something like this?

... and just because the 4e swordmage used INT to attack doesn't mean its 5e counterpart would; the Duskblade (which was the best 3.x expression of the arcetype) didn't work like that.

Swodmage wasn't in the 4e PH, but it was the first class that came out after that (in the FRPG), and I've thought for a long time that the swordmage / duskblade / whatever you want to call an arcane front-line warrior archetype is broader and more interesting than some classes that have made the...

The DM isn't posting much, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Streetwise: Making inquiries in gang-controlled neighborhoods or speaking with local experts reveals the following. DC 10: Gangs are the de facto government of the poorer areas. In the market and waterfront districts, no one gang has control and turf struggles are common. Heavily patrolled...

She considers again. "No, Syraxan, you are not an Imperial yet, though it seems these days that we are all fated to become like them, join them, or fade to irrelevance. When Coral Azurellan gave her allegiance to the Hyells -- which was well within her rights; your great nobles are a small step...

No, but he was checking for something specific, and I'm only going to let you do one skill at a time. Intimidate cannot be used any further, by the way.

Yes; I'll tell you if you made the last success you can make with a skill (you may still gain information that way, but it won't help you succeed -- or cause failures -- with the skill challenge; Vanri's insight check, BTW, was outside the skill challenge).

"I should have remembered that I was dealing with Imperials." She said, after a long pause. "You would much rather get on with business than haggle over price, then?"Lady Stella leans back. "The situation is urgent, but it is also of an extremely sensitive nature. I would prefer not to discuss...

Sariel, too?

FWIW, a bunch of strikers and a leader isn't a terrible group (at least in theory, and given melee and ranged strikers). It wouldn't be particularly sticky, but the best condition to inflict is 'dead' and a striker-heavy group can do that fast (especially if they've got good basic attacks and a...

"That is interesting. I was not aware of anyone here who could do something like that." She said.You get the impression she may be telling the literal truth about this, but knows, or at least suspects something.Lady Stella gives a small, satisfied nod. "You seem competent as investigators. I am...

Ardie nodded. She had expected that. Particularly in a group with an elf in it, if the House was unfamiliar with her.

Lady Stella thanks you for accepting her invitation and looks you over with a merchant’s eye."My apologies. The council has never had enough resources to truly patrol that area, and I fear bringing in Imperial troops would make things worse." She said. "I trust they did not give you much...

... which was mentioned when it went away. But I still think it's not very obvious, even though I'm used to it at this point.

Hmm -- as far as I'm concerned here's what I think about the various stuff from Dragon 1 - the Bard's Songbow crossbow is pure fluff; she doesn't actually have any Bard powers, just the initial multiclass feat, and even if she did, she'd use her rapier for them. 2 - while I like the scholar...

Thanks. The first draft of Sariel had the Scholar theme; I've added that back...

Artificer who considers the other PCs his test subjects?

After presenting your credentials, a guard escorts you to Lady Stella's office. You are ushered into a richly appointed antechamber, hung with the insignia of the city watch as well as the noble device of the Lady Stella Daybringer. An officious secretary asks your names again and instructs you...

Okay, Sariel has been revised to lose the dragonmark (swapped for Bardic Ritualist so she still has healing rituals). Unfortunately, at some levels the only warlord powers that don't have an attack are from Dragon (and so only available via the Compendium, Character Builder, or the articles from...
