A tall, thin half-orc man walks into the room.

From head to toe the man is covered in a mixture of ink and scarification tattoos. The tattoos resemble magical runes and archaic writing. Every symbol is connected to one or more other symbols by a complex networks of patterns and lines. On his back he carries a light adventuring pack, a bundle of javelins, and an ornately carved earthbreaker. The hammer is carved with similarly complex runes and patterns. At his belt are what seem to be sheathed wands. He wears very light clothing, much like that of a monk with no visible armor or shield of any sort.

Contrary to his somewhat intimidating appearance, he stands with a slight smile and an inviting posture.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have a serious problem. One of my tax agents has gone
missing during a trip to Ravenmoor to collect 500gp.
To find him as soon as possible and to collect the 500gp
Ravenmoor owns us, I am looking for some well-known
investigators for this task.

The reason why I'm writing to you is that I heard about
your successfull missions around Golarion in the last few
years. Please meet me in Magnimar at the tax office on
Starday, 22nd day of Neth. I'm looking forward to meeting
you soon.

Sincerely,
Jeminda Anikee
Bookkeeper of Magnimar

This is the letter you got a few days ago. A description of how to find the tax office is also included.

Magnimar is a large city located on the southwestern coast of Varisia where the Yondabakari River empties into the Varisian Gulf.

In case you decide to go there
The tax office is easy to find and once there you are guided to a meeting room by a well dressed clerk.

A skinny human man with wild hair and a wide smile, Trellan always has a joke on his tongue, ready to have fun at anyone's expense, especially his own. He wears a light shirt made of chain, and carries a multitude of items in dozens of small, bulging packs around his waist. He essentially always is practicing his juggling, usually with dangerous chemicals or sharp blades.

Unbeugsam himself is a poor little sod. Hit with a disease as a young boy, his muscles never really formed well. His legs fit more to a short elf than a dwarf, and he needs help even lifting his mug of ale. But his spirit stayed strong and one day an ancestor took pitty. Encasing him in his spirit he now looks as if he was a muscular gigantic dwarf. His beard in reality is short but his ancestor wears a lusterious black beard, well groomed and maintained. Now Unbeugsam can use Axe and Hammer and he is a strict advocat against slavery in whole golarion!

A tall human woman with dark hair and skin enters the room. The look on her face suggests she takes herself too seriously, especially for her young age. Attached to her backpack is a rolled-up, braided whip and a hammer. She wears a light chain shirt and a cloak with flecks of silver around her shoulders. Taking a look around the room, she sips from a flask.

Aldegar can been seen off to the side playing fetch with his animal companion, Bo. Aldegar is a fairly wiry man that is more at home in the forests than in town. He is a strong believer in the natural spirits and has trained Bo to become a champion of the faith. While not particularly strong he is quick on his feet and moves with grace. He carries a longbow, longsword, and wooden shield, and wears a Mithral chain shirt.

Bo is a very well behaved velociraptor that has taken on celestial qualities due to his religious training (pic). He wears studded leather armor, and his teeth and talons look exceedingly sharp. It is clear from how they act together that Aldegar and Bo are very close.

After about ten minutes a woman enters the meeting room. She is tall with black hair and pale skin, dressed in a blue robe with red embroidery.

"Welcome adventurers. Thank you for coming and sorry that I had to summon you so quickly. I already wrote in my letter, that one of my tax agents is missing and I'm about to loose my job if he keeps missing and the 500 gp of taxes for the past few years are never collected. You have to know that I sent Elias Kyle, my brother in law, to Ravenmoor to collect the back owed taxes and I never heard from him since he wrote a short letter from Galduria in which he boasted of making the journey along the Lost Coast Road from the town of Sandpoint in record time." she says while looking at the floor.

"I ask you to find him as soon as possible, I'm really concerned about his safety. And if you could collect the 500gp, this would also be great. I'm willing to offer you 200 gp each in reward."

You can see that she's playing with her fingers while talking.

Sense Motive DC20:
You can confirm she’s nervous about both her missing brother-in-law and losing her job if she doesn’t find a solution to the problem.

"Ah, ha ha! My good lady, do not worry yourself over such things! We are on the case, and as far as cases go, this one will soon be closed tight! We will do our best not to catch any fingers in it, though, oh ho!"

While speaking to the woman, Trellan idly juggles a few small trinkets with one hand, almost without thinking about it. His coordination is impeccable, and his smile is broad, with just a hint of slyness to it.

Makos is obviously using a great deal of effort to control his emotions. He specifically seemed to be bothered when she mentioned her missing brother.

"We will find your brother. If he was taken, gods help those that took him when I get ahold of them..."

Aldegar quits playing fetch and calms Bo down as he approaches. He seems willing to help, but also curious about what sort of trouble he might be signing up for.

Lady Anikee smiles at Trellan's performance. She almost clapped her hands, but decided not to do it. It would look unprofessional.

"I have no idea what happened to him. You have to know that after his wife, my sister, died a few years ago he got addicted to alcohol. In the past month he recoverd and I offered him the job in the tax department. I really don't think he took the 500gp and left the country. The worst thing would be he collected the overdue tax and was killed and robbed on his way back. I really don't know." Lady Anikee answers with a sad smile.


Magus 3; HP: 24/24 | AC:16 | T:12 | FF:14 | CMD: 18 | Fort:+5 | Ref:+4 | Will:+4 | Init:+2 | Perc: +7

I am certainly ready to assist in whatever way I can to help find your brother-in-law. How familiar are you with Ravenmoor and its inhabitants? Is there any reason to believe they were unable or unwilling to pay their taxes?

"They usually pay what they owe. But the last tax agent visited Ravenmoor years ago, I don't know if something changed there." Lady Anikee answers.

"Oh ho, the half-blood is ready, eh? But how ready is he? I suppose we will find out, yes yes!"

Trellan stands and readies to follow the others on the search, still smirking.

Aldegar puts Bo's leather armor back on, and tops off his canteen.

"I'm all set. Bo and I have been getting restless anyway, the sooner we can get back on the road the better!"

Bo seems to be able to tell that he's about to go on another journey and is visibly excited, making little hops from foot to foot.

Jeminda describes Elias as a short, stocky man of Ulfen descent with a shock of red hair; blunt, ugly features (the result of one too many scuffles in taverns); coarse, patchy facial scruff. She wishes you good luck.

Ravenmoor is located almost 250 miles from Magnimar through foothills, forests, and marshland. Those traveling from Magnimar to Ravenmoor essentially have two choices: the Lost Coast Road or the Yondabakari River. While the Lost Coast route is overland, the river route is longer. Both routes meet up in Galduria.

Which route do you want to take?

Unbeugsam would go for the lost coast route. As some have said.... Every moment might count!


Male human fighter 8 / brawler 1 | Init +9 | hp 134/134 | AC 25, T 17, FF 20 | F +18, R +12, W +5 | Perception +12

The lost coast route sounds reasonable to me.

You make you way to Galduria within a few days. This town is not big and consists mainly of an inn, a few houses and farmland around the town. The people in this town are very friendly and greet when they see you on the road.


Male human fighter 8 / brawler 1 | Init +9 | hp 134/134 | AC 25, T 17, FF 20 | F +18, R +12, W +5 | Perception +12

Trellan will enter the inn, hoping to make a small performance of his juggling to earn a bit of pocket change.

Makos will find a table, in a corner if possible, and try not to scare the locals too much.

"So, how should we approach this?"

I think we should track down the person in charge of keeping the towns finances in order and ask a few questions.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, you reached Galduria. A town on the way from Magnimar to Ravenmoor. This is the town where Elias wrote a short letter to Jeminda.

Trellan, Makos and Bryne enter the inn and find a table in a corner. Although Makros is a Half-Orc, the other people in the inn do not stare at him. They watch the group enter and take place and continue talking to each other. You see a young woman with dark brown hair wearing ordinary clothes approaching your table.

"Hello and welcome to The Goat's Mug. My name is Robin, I'm your waitress today. What do you want to drink? We offer elven wine, dwarven ale and fresh spring water from the Stormspear Mountains. If you prefer something locally produced, we offer Met mady by Goeffrey, our local winemaker and beer from Riddleport. Are you hungry? I will bring the menu." the young woman says.

Aldegar orders the local beer to try. As he is sitting down he has Bo lay down, somewhat out of sight of the other patrons.

"Elias was here a little while back, do you think anyone here might have seen anything useful? Or shall we just recharge for a bit and get back on the road?"


Male human fighter 8 / brawler 1 | Init +9 | hp 134/134 | AC 25, T 17, FF 20 | F +18, R +12, W +5 | Perception +12

Trellan orders wine, and busies himself with juggling empty glasses and pieces of bread.


Witch 2, Rager 1; HP: 30/30 | AC:16* | T:12 | FF:14* | CMD: 16 | Fort:+8 | Ref:+4 | Will:+5 | Init:+2 | Perc: +5| Sense Motive:+0

"Bread shouldn't fly."

Makos grabs a piece of bread from Trellan and orders an ale.

"Let's see if anyone has seen Elias."


Male human fighter 8 / brawler 1 | Init +9 | hp 134/134 | AC 25, T 17, FF 20 | F +18, R +12, W +5 | Perception +12

"Ah, but why shouldn't it fly, my good man? Perhaps flying bread is the tastiest bread out there! You wouldn't know unless you try.... let it fly... my my my!"

Trellan continues juggling the bread, and as soon as Makos' ale arrives, he snatches it up and adds it to the items he's juggling, never spilling a drop, then expertly catches it and presents it directly in front of Makos' face.

Perform(comedy): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Unfortunately he almost loses his grip on the ale, and a small bit splashes right into Makos' eye. Trellan hands him the ale sheepishly, hoping not to be pummeled by the testy half-orc.


Witch 2, Rager 1; HP: 30/30 | AC:16* | T:12 | FF:14* | CMD: 16 | Fort:+8 | Ref:+4 | Will:+5 | Init:+2 | Perc: +5| Sense Motive:+0

Makos will take back his ale, frowning at the energetic jester. He downs the remaining ale in a single gulp and gives Trellan an evil stare.

I think it would be entertaining for Makos to literally give Trellan the stink eye for the rest of the night (evil eye for -2 penalty to skill checks) but I understand if you want to avoid PVP interactions. If so, there is no need for saves as Makos would refresh the effect every round that he is juggling, or otherwise showing off.

"Why yes Trellan, I would like another round. How generous of you to offer."


Male human fighter 8 / brawler 1 | Init +9 | hp 134/134 | AC 25, T 17, FF 20 | F +18, R +12, W +5 | Perception +12

I will absolutely accept the evil eye penalty to skill checks.

Trellan sinks lower in his chair, carefully avoiding Makos' stare, and calls for a round of ale, holding up two silver pieces.

Makos lets out a slight chuckle and seems pleased with his little victory.

Aldegar smiles and shakes his head slightly at his companions' antics, and motions to the waitress.

"We're looking for information on a tax collector named Elias Kyle who came through town on his way to Ravenmoor. I imagine he must have stopped in here. Do you recall anything about such a person?"

On the table he slides about twice what he actually owes for his beer toward her.

"Or, if not, maybe you know someone who would?"

Some of the people watch Trellan juggling food and cups and the one or the other claps his hands.

"Well, I don't know anything about a tax collector. I usually don't ask people about their name or what they do, but if you tell me when he passed this place and what he looks like, maybe I can remember him." Robin answers.

Do we have the letter Jeminda got from Elias? Or do we at least know the date it was sent?

Aldegar repeats the description given by Jeminda. He also provides the date of the letter.

"Does that sound familiar? Even the smallest scrap of information could come in handy. Oh! Speaking of scraps, do you think your cook might have any bones or meat cuttings I can give to my companion?"

He gestures to Bo.

"Whenever I'm out having a drink I try to at least give him a little treat."

You know that the letter is about two months old, but Jeminda kept it.

"Yes, I remember a man with red hair. He checked in about two months ago. He rented a room for one night only and left the next day at noon. He was really drunk the night before. Said something about collecting money from Ravenmoor." Robin says after thinking for a minute. "Why are you looking for him? If I may ask."

"Ah, because he is lost, it would seem! Or perhaps we are all lost, and he is the only one who is found? Oh ho, would that not be something? He was a drunk, you see, after losing his poor wife, and now the poor sister of that poor wife cannot find her poor drunk brother-in-law, it seems! And so here are we, searching for the poor drunk who is the poor husband of the poor sister's poor late sister, all because the poor man was sent to collect taxes from the poor residents of this lovely town! Oh ho, what a pickle, no?"

"Ah, then I will get to the bottom of this mystery post-haste!"

Trellan saunters over to the man that Robin indicated.

"Hello there friend! I am Trellan, and my companions and I are looking for a man, a tax collector that you may have talked to several weeks ago. He's gone missing, and we're charged with finding him. Perhaps you'd be willing to help us?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Trellan's demeanor when trying to get information is much calmer, without the boasting smirk that his face always carries when dealing with his own party members. You can tell that he knows what he's doing when trying to extract information, and hides his own grating persona well.
