@8w_gremlin Would it be all right if Nina left her rifle (stock folded and concealed in a guitar case fitted with a shoulder strap) and backpack somewhere near Remy and have him keep an eye on them?
@Malkavian Grin When Nina walks outside, I'd like her to have her Midnight Special (miniaturized slugthrower pistol) tucked into her belt at her belly, and the yookoo'lele on a shoulder strap hanging at her belly, concealing the weapon--rather than leaving the Midnight Special in her concealed holster. She'll probably be picking at the strings of the instrument as she walks outside--both hands in plain view, no weapons (visible) other than a very small knife sheathed at her side. According to the rules, this would increase her chance of concealing the item (no -5 penalty for the concealed holster), but it would take a standard action to draw the weapon (rather than the move action if she kept the weapon in the concealed holster). Does that work for you?
