Bluff.  The PC failed.  He got in the chair.  I determined the assassin got a full suprise round considering the situation.  He applied a contact poision and began to slit the ranger's throat.  The Ranger made both his saving throws against the poison and the Death Attack.  But, I made the attack an automatic crit and the villian rolled really well, doing max damage. Initiative was rolled, and the deadly barber won.  He got a second sneak attack against the flat footed ranger before the other PCs could join the action.  Durign the first round the thugs the barber had hired as back up were quickly dispatched by the  ranger's allies while another PC came to his aid.  The Assassin was dead in about 3 round, along with one of the thugs, the others surrendered. The ranger had lost over hlaf his HP, but otherwise the party was unharmed. Before he died the Barber indicated he was hired by the local Barrelmen's Guild (canal dock workers basically.) The Fair Warden arrived, and due to both the PCs rep and the fact that the barber was revealled to be a wanted criminal with a bounty on his head things were quickly resolved and the  PCs got reward money equal to the standard treasure for the CR.</blockquote>
