Talk Your Way Out of Anything

A simple 0 XP Alessandra flex deck built around Parley and Agility.

Game plan

Use Lockpicks and Thieves' Kit for clues, while Beguile, Vamp and Stir the Pot turn Alessandra's bonus Parley action into enemy management, movement, clues or damage.

Fine Clothes makes most Parley tests significantly easier, while Silver Tongue, Well-Dressed and Olivier Bishop provide extra boosts when needed.

For damage, you have British Bull Dog, Backstab, Vamp and Stir the Pot. Alessandra isn't a dedicated fighter, but she can handle enemies when diplomacy fails.

Mulligan

Prioritize:

• Fine Clothes
• Lockpicks or Thieves' Kit
• Faustian Bargain
• Olivier Bishop if your hand is already functional

Economy

Faustian Bargain, Grift, Thieves' Kit and Lone Wolf keep the deck funded. Grift is particularly strong once an enemy is available.

Overall, this is a flexible Alessandra deck that can investigate, evade, manipulate enemies and occasionally convince them to kill each other.

Talking is a free action. Violence is Plan B.
