[QUOTE="Rel, post: 3537529, member: 99"] So there I was, at GenCon, playing at a table FULL of great ENWorlders, being GMed by Piratecat. This game is set in his game world and we're playing a set of PC's that run parallel to the PC's in his regular weekly game. We're sent by Lord Ioun on a mission to investigate this evil cult that has spread from another land into his. We're supposed to track them back to the foreign land to another city under the guise of being on a trade mission to trade gems and jewels to them from Ioun's empire. I'm playing a Rogue/Diplomat type. So we managed to get into this city and avoid most of the authorities and start poking around. The evil cult got wind of it and sends this big, nasty bug assassin thing against us and we barely survived but we killed it. So a crowd of civilians and some of the cultists start to gather around and we're just getting ready to have to make a run for it when I get an idea. My PC starts making a speech, "I know that you mistrust us because we are foreigners to your lands. But we have come here not to fight you, but to warn you! Because these members of the cult that makes their home in your city...there is something that they do not want you to know! A secret hidden in their hearts that grows there without your knowledge!..." Meanwhile I'm walking slowly toward a couple of the low ranking cultists who wear distinctive white robes. As I get within reach of him I Quickdraw my Keen Rapier and slashed him through the heart, killing him instantly (he was a mook plus, ya know, 7d6 Sneak Attack Damage). The crowd gasps in horror and I know that in moments the other cultists are going to swarm all over me. I shove my hand through the gaping wound in his chest and pull it back out, bloody. "THIS IS WHAT THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!!" I open my hand to reveal...the biggest gem that we brought with us on our trade expedition (my Slight of Hand skill RAWKED!). The citizens gathered looked at me...looked at the giant gem...looked at the cultists. Then the cultists started running. Fast. AND we got the hell out of town before they figured out that it was a fraud. [/QUOTE]
