An aged halfling dozes in the corner, a walking stick propped against the arm of the chair. His white hair is wild and sticks out at all angles and his snore is audible before you even enter the room.

A flaxen-haired half elf enters, pauses at the doorway and the corner of his mouth twitches upward in a half-smile at the elderly halfling's snore. He walks over in his direction, and sits near him, watching him snooze. As if recognizing him as a fellow of like mind, Kel wakens the halfling with a gentle tap on his toes.

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey... or should I say 'shrooms and bakey' for you?" He gives the halfling a friendly smile. "Can I get you something? perhaps a bowl of stuffed mushrooms? or a drink? I am Celidrian, but my friends call me Kel."

He smiles and waves at the other newcomers like himself who just entered. "Hello Bulgo and Felicitas. I am Kel. pleasure to meet you both."

"HRRMM-WAZZAT?" the snoring halfling wakes with a roar when Celidrian wakes him. "Celidrian, is it? Great! Get me some coffee, black! And fast!" With startling speed the halfling grabs his walking stick and smacks the elf on the rump to get him going.

"Well.. this should be enlightening."

His nose twitches at the smell of coffee.

"I'll have one too."

Happy to meet you Pathfinders. I am Ottilia Damalys, follower of Shelyn. I'm a healer as well as a warrior and hope to be of help. I came from Sargava, Eleder precisely.

She wears a mithral breastplate, a dress who highlight her silhouette and several weapons.

The cranky halfling ignores the discussion of talents and abilities and takes his mug of coffee in silence. Moments later the conversation is interrupted by a retching shout. "YARGH! This coffee is too damn cold, elf! What, did you wait for my old bones to age another year before you brought it out here? I have to do everything myself...."

The halfling grabs his walking stick and stands up, although you get the sense that he doesn't actually need the support as he briskly walks out of the room to make a fresh batch of hot black coffee.


Venture-Captain Brackett sits at a narrow table in the grand entryway at the Pathfinder Society’s lodge in Almas. This resplendent marble chamber, once the vestibule of a cathedral of Aroden, is now a well-stocked library. Carvings on the walls depict Pathfinder agents exploring forgotten ruins and facing fearsome beasts. Trade Prince Aaqir al’Hakam, seated opposite the venture-captain, reviews a stack of papers.

The trade prince speaks first. “Welcome, Pathfinders. Take a seat.” He turns toward several vacant chairs. “You will be departing for Druma tomorrow morning. I’ve arranged for all of your travel expenses. The journey will take you from Almas up through the foothills of southeastern Isger, and then from the settlement of Dustspawn into the borders of Druma.” He glances at the stack of papers in his hands. “These documents will handle any issues with your lodgings or questions from local government officials.”

Venture-Captain Brackett nods to the Trade Prince before interjecting. “Yes, the trade prince has seen to your travel, and for that the Society is appreciative. Your mission involves entering the nation of Druma, specifically its capital city of Kerse. There, you’ll meet up with an acquaintance of the Society who has offered to assist us in executing this unique mission. As you may be aware, terrorists from the Aspis Consortium attacked the Society’s annual Convocation. An anonymous but reliable informant within the Consortium that we’ve taken to calling Three Rings has pointed us in the direction of the financier for this dastardly attack—a Consortium silver agent named Myrosype.”

“The city of Alabastrine is the epitome of Drumish wealth. It was built to accommodate an influx of refugees that never came to Druma in the wake of Aroden’s death. The resident Kalistocrats maintain the city in perfect condition, even its
empty properties. Even Alabastrine’s method of selecting leaders revolves around wealth. Every five years, Druma sets up an auction for control of each of the city’s five districts. The latest cycle of bidding is about to commence, and Myrosype has positioned herself to claim a majority of Alabastrine’s districts. She may very well have the resources to claim the entire city for herself.”

The trade prince adds, “We want you to attend the auction, which has been arranged by the best contact we could find for the job. Some of you may know him. His name is Temel Passad, and he can provide you with more information when you arrive in Kerse. Once there, do your best to convince the participants in the auction to overtake Myrosype’s bids. Your actions in this event may not be a direct recompense for her participation in the attack against the Society, but trust me when I say that striking her in the wallet will be a precise and worthwhile blow.”

Moments later the halfling comes wandering back in with a steaming hot mug of coffee. The mug looks doubly large in his small hands because it was obviously made for some larger race, perhaps an orc or an oread. After taking a few gulps, he looks around in surprise to find that a Venture-Captain and Trade Prince have entered the room and have been talking. "Ah! Did I miss much? I heard mention of Druma and an auction, right? Well, I'm sure we'll figure it out in the end."

Looking around at the others, he announces, "You can call me Ramenhotep or Priest. But I will not answer to Old Fart or Little One or any other nicknames you numbskulls might think up."

"As you wish Old Priest... " Kel smiles warmly at him despite the little jest at his expense. could call you Noodleman instead, lol

"it seems we have a task of no small difficulty ahead of us. I do hope we can accomplish it. We will do our best to do so of course. Is there anything else we should know before we set out? Will this Temel Passad find us, or do we need to seek him out, and if we are to do so, where would we find him?"

Nice meeting you Ramenhotep. Why somebody would want to call you such names ?

Says with a warm smile Ottilia to Ramenhotep.

Thank you for the vote of confidence Venture-Captain. So if I interpret correctly our mission we just need to be sure that Myrosype is outbid for each quarter of the city ?
Do we know more about her ? Did she will have a cover identity ? Who are the other people interested in biding ?

Asks Ottilia.


Religion or Nobility would be the relevant skills here.

Venture-Captain Brackett answers, “Temel Passad is a merchant whose influence among the Prophets of Kalistrade is growing. Temel has been involved in several past Society operations, and while our agents have scorned him in the past, he’s willing to give us a chance by assuring your invitation to the bidding process. Since Passad is also one of the bidders, his motives are certainly not purely altruistic. Nonetheless, we can’t risk passing up the opportunity to strike at Myrosype. He'll summon you once you're inside the city."

“We don't know much about Myrosype except that she gets her orders directly from the highest ranks of the Aspis. Whatever happens, do not attempt to strike at her directly. Her deployment in Druma puts her under the protection of the governing Kalistocracy. Druma has one of the strongest security forces in the Inner Sea, and Kerse itself is constantly monitored with scrying sensors to ensure civil obedience. Even if you were able to escape an attempt with your lives, your actions would be traced back to the Society, which would put us at odds with the Kalistocracy — a battle that we simply don’t have the resources to win.”

"We don't know who the other bidding parties are - that's up to you to figure out. There's a lot of wealth in Druma and more than a dozen individuals that have access to the kinds of funds needed to secure one of the city's districts."

Kel is actually quite familiar with Druma and the Prophecies of Kalistrade.

The presiding state philosophy of Druma is the Prophecies of Kalistrade. This philosophy promotes the acquisition of material wealth and the avoidance of physical contact. Its adherents, called Kalistocrats, wear white clothing, with a strong affinity for long gloves to prevent physical contact with others.

The actual government of Druma is an organization known as the Resplendent Bureaucracy. This group handles the day-to-day administration of the nation. Druma’s military force is called the Mercenary League. Its members are known as ‘Blackjackets’ in honor of the black uniforms they wear.

The capital of Druma is the city of Kerse, perhaps the most opulent city in the Inner Sea. Secret stations of spellcasters provide constant magical scrying across the breadth of the city. Individual estates maintain their own hired spellcasters for similar purposes. The widespread presence of magical wards, along with the rapid response times from Mercenary League forces, ensures that there is almost no crime within the borders of Kerse.

When High Prophet Kelldor purchased the abandoned city of Alabastrine, he crafted an entirely new district in the otherwise unfinished center of the city. This district is known as Prophet’s Burg, and ever since the bidding process for Alabastrine started, this area has been considered the most prized territory. Those seeking political affluence in Druma would do well to purchase this significant district.

If I understand correctly, we must at least stopped the aspis agent to win the Prophet's Burg district.

She adds With all the magical surveillance it will be difficult to do something illegal in Kerse. At least our ennemies are tied by it too. That's a good thing... I hope.

"So... our top priority is to stop Myrosype getting control of the city, with a secondary concern to minimize the number of city areas she can purchase?" clarifies Bulgo.

"We must do this without a physical confrontation with her. And all the time try to avoid upsetting the authorities. If we have a chance to swing the bidding towards Temel rather than others... is that something we should also do?"

Bulgo shrugs. "I'm just trying to make sure I understand it. So the Society, apart from not wanting Myrosype to get control of the city, has no other preferences as to who does."

He sips his coffee as he assesses the others in the group.

"It sounds like one of our first tasks when we get there is to find out who else is bidding and what we can do to either help them or thwart Myrosype."


Shopping is fine.

Ramenhotep ignores the nicknames and waves off the question about why he has gained them over the years. "Bah! So we just have to keep the Aspis gaining control of the city. Sounds good enough for me! We just have to navigate these damn ultra-capitalists in Druma, but I've seen worse. Well, it's getting late and I need my sleep." Finishing off his coffee with a large gulp, Ramenhotep wanders off to find somewhere to sleep.


As the party departs to finish their preparatory shopping or get some rest, Trade Prince Aaqir al’Hakam pulls Kraak aside.

He speaks in hushed tones, “You may already be familiar with Temel Passad. He was once interested in becoming an associate of our organization. However, when we formed an agreement with a diplomat from the Five Kings Mountains, Passad was unable to put his own personal dislike of the emissary aside for the sake of business. He has borne a grudge against the Exchange ever since. Now, he obstructs our attempts to develop connections within Druma. His decision to invite a junior agent to the auction instead of inviting me personally is but the latest in a string of slights."

“While I cannot attend the festivities myself, I trust that you can pursue our mutual interests in my place. While you are certainly welcome to express your displeasure to Passad, I have no interest in engaging the merchant in a war of petty vengeance. The auction provides you with a rare opportunity to speak to members of Druman society with higher social station than Passad himself. If you convince one of these people to work with the Exchange, you will set the groundwork for brushing aside Passad’s further attempts to stand in our way. Passad may not believe that you are capable of making such inroads, but I do. Since your own personal clout is not yet significant, I expect that you will need to prove yourself first by making a positive impression. Do not rush to create a trade deal before you know what your potential partner seeks. Finally, remember, a honeyed tongue is like gold: it can reliably earn you favor, but it is rarely the most valuable commodity. The surest route to success is to engage with a person’s interests and desires.”

“Do not spend so much effort seeking a new ally that you neglect your mission to hamper Myrosype’s rise. If Myrosype becomes a rising star in Druman politics, her interference promises to outweigh any benefit we could gain from a new alliance.”


The next day, the party departs.

The journey from the Andoran capital of Almas to the nation of Isger is uneventful. The party travel on a river ferry up the Andoshen River and takes the western break up the River Foam. From there, they disembark and travel through the southern foothills of Isger, eventually reaching the settlement of Dustspawn, the final stop on their journey before entering Druma.

The mountain path that connects Isger and Druma is well maintained. Even though the territory belongs to Isger, Druma foots the bill for repairs and embellishments to keep the path clear and easy to travel.

A fifteen-foot-wide path curves along the side of a towering mountain peak. Wind howls through the pass, knocking up occasional piles of gravel and tossing it off the cliff’s hazardous edge. A solid stone bridge connects the mountainous path with a similar pass to a peak further north.

As the party gets nearer the bridge, the stern visage of a dwarven monarch becomes visible on the cliff face, looking north. It matches the gaze of another stone carving on the opposite mountaintop. The human-sized eyes of the statue’s face are black pits, carved so deep that they admit no light into their hollow depths. From under the gigantic face, the bridge was made to look like the outstretched arm of the stone dwarf, reaching out with a stone hammer in direct imitation of the opposite stone figure.

The outstretched arms of the two stone carved dwarves each hold similarly crafted hammers. The heads of these hammers touch, forming a bridge between the two mountainous trails, one to the north and south. The center point of the bridge, where the hammers meet, is covered in wooden debris and numerous broken objects. Bulgo believes the bridge is sturdy and sound. Both he and Ottilia notice nothing hidden.

A female dwarf dressed in leathers stands sobbing in the center of the bridge near the bulk of the debris.

"Well, only one way to find out."

Bulgo carefully approaches the bridge, now alert for signs of possible ambush. He carefully looks over the nearby mountain side for places an archer or similar person could hide.

Halfway from the edge of the bridge to the woman he stops and calls out.

"How may we help you?"

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Concern for the dwarf distracts his normally keen eyes from their regular watchfulness.


"Bandits..." the dwarven woman sobs. "...waylaid our caravan. They took everything."

Bulgo continues to advance, albeit slowly.

"Which way did they go? We didn't see anyone on the road, so did they head toward Druma?"

I take it there are no side roads here, as this is a path through the mountains after all

He continues to look around.

"Where are the others from your caravan?"

How can we be of help ? Is the bandits who attack your caravan still here ? Is there any other survivors ?

She asks her.

Ramenhotep snorts and taps his walking stick on the ground a few times. "Bah! A damsel in distress, I haven't seen something like this in ages."

He calls out, "Well, lass, they've had a few questions for ya. Let's here where the others are and if there are other survivors."

With the pertinent questions being asked already, Kel waits for some answers to be offered before badgering her with more questions...


"The others are gone... all gone", the dwarven woman mourns. "But I'm sure the bandits aren't far..."

Felicitas detects the hint of a smile on the woman's face and spots her hand drifting toward a dagger at her hip.

Initiative: 8d20 ⇒ (15, 7, 12, 8, 15, 5, 4, 11) = 77

Bulgo and Kel may act in the surprise round if they succeed at a DC 20 sense motive check. Everyone else but Felicitas needs to make the sense motive check as well.
