** A Changeling framed Thaxan by stabbing a Captain of the Guard while in disguise. When confronted by guards, Thaxan agreed to come along quietly, but had something much more insidious planned. He stabbed a guard with a poison ring, used prestidigitation to convince him it was a poison wasp, then used Ghost sound and more prestidigitation effects(Including setting the man who turned him in on fire) to convince the guards the house was a "Weak point in the Veil etween this World and the World of Magic" causing them to run around in a panic until Thaxan was able to convince them he was being framed by using prestidigitation to alter his face. Not only was he released, he lead the search for the Changeling.
** After defeating a necromancer who knew no fear of pain or death, it became clear interrogating him would be difficult. Thaxan instead decided to [[Refuge in Audacity|convince him that he was the avatar of Vecna, God of Undeath.]] To the surprise of all, and the frustration of the DM, it worked perfectly, and he told the party everything.
** Chasing a Tiefling through a mysterious portal led the party roughly 500 years into the past. Upon meeting a few locals, Thaxan walked up and said "Hello, I'm the Doctor. [[Doctor Who (TV)|Just the Doctor.]]
*** Upon catching the Tiefling, a [[Smug Snake]] named Art, Thaxan walked up and had this exchange:
{{quote| ''Thaxan'':I think you have something that belongs to me.<br />
''Art'': Oh? What could that be?<br />
''Thaxan'': This! ([[Knife Nut|Thaxan severs Art's ear with a knife]] [[Axe Crazy|and makes a pendant out of it.]]) }}
** During a visit to Thaxan's home city, where he is a powerful and popular noble, the city's warforged guards begin rebelling, including a new prototype that's just been made. The rebellion was eventually put down, including a [[Fun Withwith Acronyms|"Designated Armored Lifeform Ersatz Knight,]] which came very close to '''Exterminating''' Thaxan.
** A group of necromancers had settled in with a tribe of hobgoblins near the city. Not liking the idea of fighting them, Thaxan negotiated an alliance with the necromancers. They agreed to consult their leader. Thaxan's response?(Keep in mind, the Hobgoblin chief is still in the room.)
{{quote| ''Necromancer'': We will send a message to our leader, communicating your... proposal.<br />
''Thaxan'': Okay. Well, while we wait, mind if we wipe out this hobgoblin tribe?<br />
''Hobgoblin Chief'': What?<br />
''Necromancer'': No, no. They are nice. They let us stay in this cave.<br />
''Thaxan'': It's my city. I'll let you have the cave.<br />
''Hobgoblin Chief'': What?!<br />
''Necromancer'': Can't argue with that. Go ahead.<br />
''Hobgoblin Chief'': WHAT?!?! }}
** After finally catching up with(and subsequently losing track of) the Changeling who framed him in the midst of the capital city, Thaxan used his clout to earn an audience with the queen to solve the problem. Within a few hours, he had cast arcane lock on a nearby door(Set only to open for humans), crammed every single person in the castle inside, and invited the queen to open the door, to demonstrate how easily a human could open it. [[Oh Crap|It didn't open.]]
