An Inn is a crowded place, with a lot of people to blend in with, but not a lot of hiding room. Then, I'd try to start a large commotion (a bar fight, fire, etc) and escape in the ensuing chaos.Lets assume a group is 6 people, a Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Rogue, Ranger, and Paladin. The Ranger can use his skills of observation in the main room, have him use his Spot check. Any thorough searching would alert Slice, and possibly upset the inhabitants. The Rogue would be gathering information. Perhaps someone saw a guy changing into a different face, so to speak. He'd be mingling among the crowd with a question here, or an ear there. Again, the main room. Gather Information.The Fighter would be upstairs, guarding an exit with a good idea of who he's looking for. Just looking intimidating is enough to give most people pause, and if Slice tries to attack him and make a break, he has a good chance of surviving (or winning). Intimidation check for him.The Paladin can be mingling near the Rogue, trying to determine when people are lying or otherwise hiding the truth. I'd have him Sense Motive in the main room.The Cleric (aside from spellcasting) doesn't have a lot to offer this skill challenge, so maybe we'll have him guard an exit with some of his defensive buffs up. He can almost take that initial hit as well as the Fighter can - while he won't excel at this challenge, he is still contributing. The Wizard is obviously the physically weakest, but his familiar can be spying for him. No one is going to pay attention the cat walking around the banisters or corners of the room, or the invisible Imp that can watch everything. He'll also probably have a spell that can help his companions locate Slice, without giving away the answer automatically. Perhaps he can Hold Portal one of the lesser used exits, in case Slice tries to get out "the back door". Every party member contributes, some will shine, and Slice might get caught depending on how well everyone does. No one will out perform the rest of the group (ie: Doing it all themselves, I'm looking [MENTION=85158]Dandu[/MENTION]), and although the Cleric isn't contributing to the best of his specific abilities, he doesn't feel useless.</blockquote>
