It's the End of the World as we know it and we Won!? IC

"Of course, I shall. Please forgive me if I seemed rude, I've been killing on my own the past 20 years. I tend to do things my own way." Valve smiles, and says this as if he were talking about whittling, or knitting.

Gods, I don't see why you people think this is so evil. 90% of the characters I've had would kill him, just not in the same way. Just because someone isn't A: attacking you or B: an orc doesn't mean that killing them is an evil act. It's not good, but it's not very evil.

[arguskos]

"Remember, there is little difference between killing and slaughter. One is merely forthright and honest about itself." The Kinslayer smirks, and goes back to attending Master Adam.

I'm not really saying this act is evil, but it certainly HELPS me to get into a more evil mindset. I rarely play characters that would even consider killing this guy right now, so I'm loosening up that mental muscle, so to say.

[Gorgondantess]

Valve stares at him in shock. Gods, what a brute. We have so much in common, and yet are so different. Killing can be such an art, and slaughter is just.... barbaric... Valve snaps out of it after about a second, and goes back to his duties.

Crumby McSolace

Said before Adam comes out - "Hrm, we were not paid to kill this man. This man seems a bit rude but nothing overtly hostile or abusive. Maybe we can get away with publicly humilating him and embarassing him out of his position.

Done while Adam eats - Looking about for any messes or items requiring cleaning, Crumby sweeps the room in an attempt to stay busy.

Lina rushes into the bathroom and looks around. "Yes, your highness?"

If she sees nothing in the room, save the Queen in the tub, she will look, quickly for anything powdery or liquid in the room, soap, facial powder, bucket of water, etc. If she see anything, she will "accidently" knock it over in her haste to respond to the Queen, hopefully over anywhere that a person trying to kill the Queen in her tub would be walking so she can see footprints. "Oh, so sorry, your highness, please stay there and do not get this on your feet. Tihana, I'll need your help in here."

there is a bucket, but it is currently empty. You could steal some water from the Queen's bath though. And you dont see anything.

Lina

Lina grabs a towel or robe for the Queen and heads for the edge of the tub, facing outward. "Your room's clean, your highness. When ever you are ready to select your clothes for today."

Lina stands guard at the tub. Keeping her eyes and ears aware for any signs of badness.

first off, the Queen is still in the tub. Second, you notice that as Tina is holding out a towel for the Queen to wrap herself in, the aura is moving towards them. The other aura is standing near the middle of the room.

You identify the aura as invisibility.

((I presumed, incorrectly, that the Queen would react to Lina's holding of the towel before Tihana entered the room. As it is, let's be more direct...))

Tihana
Tihana begins to step into the room, pauses for a moment, then takes a step back as if forgetting something, "One moment..." As soon as she is out of sight of the Queen, she casts a spell.

Major Image(PHB p252)

Creates an illusion that has visuals, sound, smell, & heat of an object, creature, or force as the caster visualizes it. The image can move within an area of (4 + 1 per level) 10’ cubes that are contiguous.
If the image is struck, it disappears unless the caster makes it react appropriately.

Tihana will make the illusion react to attacks.

A fully armed royal guard appears just outside and rushes through the doorway into the bath... There, panting heavily, he glares at the assassins, reading his weapon, before glancing in the direction of the Queen to see if she was safe...a blush spreads over his face as his eyes widen at the sight of her.

ok i am confused myself on what is going on, so I will try my best.

Lina dunks the Queen's head back underwater and she sputters, trying to hold her breath. She then picks up the bucket next to her and throws it at the invisible attacker. The assassin didges it easily as it flys by him.

He then throws a shuriken at Lina, but it passes by her face, barely missing her. The other assassin throws a shuriken at Tihana, and hits her square in the chest. (4 damage + DC 15 fort save please.)

It is now currently Tihana's turn, and the assassins are visible to everyone. The Queen shouts for her guards, along with Tihana's voice. Tihana what do you do?

The wand was hidden in a pocket. I figured since it's only a foot long stick, it wasn't worth messing with Slight of Hand checks or anything like that.
