The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

The Isle of Jalmeray, a former outpost of the faraway kingdoms of Vudra, has long been an isolated pocket of Vudrani culture in the Inner Sea. Dubbed the Kingdom of the Impossible for its countless monasteries where ascetics perform unbelievable feats of mind, body, and spirit, the Isle of Jalmeray features a populace who worship hundreds of foreign gods.

You have been sent to the Niswan, the capital of the island nation of Jalmeray, during the celebration of Yolarati, the traditional Vudrani Festival of Colors. You have been sent for several reasons: to seek admission for some of the Society's martially-minded into the famous Houses of Perfection, to journey the city in search of scrolls of unusual lore in the markets of the Commerce District, but most importantly simply to enjoy the festival as a break from adventuring.

The week-long festival features locals wearing robes that were once white, but are not smeared with a myriad of colored dye. The normally reserved Vudrani citizens rub multi-hued powders on each other's faces and yell exuberant, joful blessings. Elaborate illusions of rainbow patters, flowing auroras, and sparkling bursts fill the sky or liven otherwise blank walls. Laughing children splash each other with dyed water. The air is a heady cloud of fragrant flavors, and sounds of music and celebration are all around. Mouth-watering delights are generously available, as well as large mugs of thandi, a local drink, to wash them down.

Omrax appears as a tall, fair haired knight of with obvious elven heritage. He removes his winged helm as he enters the room.

Under his red cloak, he wears a new suit of polished fullplate along with a shield bearing the crest of Iomedae on his arm.
His longsword is well kept and shows signs of recent battles.
Strapped to his back is a longbow and greatsword.

Kaâb is a beautiful Ifrit. Her smile is like the warm light of a beautiful sunrise and she smile a lot. She moved with the grace of a dancer and talk with the voice of an angel.
She's wearing simple silken robe, mixing white and yellow, under a delicate mithral breastplate, highlighting her silhouette; around her neck, a golden symbol of Sarenrae and at her side two scimitar.
Surprisingly she's also wearing the insignia of the Eagle Knight, as proudly as her holy symbol, and at her wrist, a simple piece of cloth with the symbol of the Order of the Nail.

As you are enjoying the last day of the festival, one of the thakur's servants approaches your group. "Greetings. I approach you on behalf of the prominent member of the Maurya-Rahm, Lord Raheem Pandisar. Lord Raheem has heard of your exploits and requests an audience."

Kaâb smiled broadly at the servant and said Oh! Really ? Your master know of us ! I wasn't aware that our exploits cross the ocean so far !
It will be my honor and my pleasure to accept your master's request.

Just bumped to L8, still have a couple of tweaks to do (not the least of which is spell swapping), but otherwise ready to go.

A short Mwangi man, wearing little more than a loincloth and a smile, has introduced himself to each of you as, simply, Mordrak.

There are few things Mordrak enjoys in this world more than a good party; he is clearly in his element as he gladhands and chats amiably with many different people, drifting in and out of conversations with practiced ease and without regard for social standing or airs.

Indeed! Mordrak declares, leaping to his feet and bowing low before the messenger. As the lady says, we are only too pleasified to meet Lord Raheem Pandisar.

A hulking Kellid man followed by an equally hulking wolf, takes in the festivities, clearly uncomfortable in both the heat and the pressing crowds.

At the invitation, he merely nods, deferring to more verbose members of his group.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

On the way, the messenger explains to you that Lord Raheem is a member of the Maurya-Rahm, the council of advisers to the thakur-that is, the ruler of the Isle.

Towering palatial chambers supported by elaborately carved pillars surround an ornamental stream that flows through the palace. Halls of polished marble lead to a languidly luxurious sitting room. The thakur himself sits at the far end of the room, his bejeweled turban sparkling in the light shining through the windows. He paints a canvas while watching his baby son in a crib nearby. The thakur pays you no mind as you enter.

A tall, tanned man with a neatly trimmed goatee, stands up from a side seat when you enter, however. "Lord Raheem Pandisar," the messenger introduces. "These are the representatives of the Pathfinder Society, visiting the city to enjoy the festival. They have agreed to meet with you." The messenger then slowly backs away and exits the room.

Raheem smiles and gestures towards the comfortable seating around a low table in an alcove of the room. Raheem is a pleasant host and starts by offering opulent refreshments. "Thank you for coming, friends. I have, of course, heard of your exploits with the Society. When I heard that they were sending agents for the festival, I made sure to look into your histories and I must say that I am impressed."

After a few more pleasantries between bites of spicy but delicious food, Raheem keeps his pleasant and friendly tone but changes the topic. "I have, of course, asked you to join me to discuss a matter of dire importance. I hope that you are able and willing to help in the matter but perhaps I should explain it first."

He pulls a napkin from the table and dramatically wipes his mouth before settling down to explain the situation. "Do you know of the Ebon Destroyers? They are perhaps not well know outside of Vudra so I would be surprised if you have not heard of them before now."

Sensing that this is not a name familiar to you, Lord Raheem explains, "They have a long history, with their organized cabals infiltrating, robbing, and ritually murdering the innocent. These horrendous cultists are devoted to Dhalavei, the evil Vudrani goddess of silent, internal rot. When the cultists kill in her name, they burn fill their victims' mouths and throats with acid to symbolize corruption from within."

Raheem clears his throat before continuing. "The cultists often join caravans, sometimes in several small groups to allay suspicion, waiting until they befriend the travelers and gain their trust. In the dark of night, at prearranged places, they strike using sacrificial blades or their bare hands to stealthily and systematically murder their victims. The Ebon Destroyers dispose of the bodies, making entire caravans disappear without a trace. It is a horrendous affair."

Raheem pauses to make sure you understand the severity of these cultists. "You may be wondering why I speak of such foul people and acts. This brings me to the point of bringing you here today. Two weeks ago, a favorite cousin of Thakur Kharswan disappeared suddenly. With the help of divination magic, his corpse was found bearing the cult’s ritual sacrificial markings. Incensed at the attack on his family, Thakur Kharswan called on the Maurya-Rahm and demanded that we outlaw the cult and prohibit the worship of Dhalavei."

"We the advisers warned that the killing was a calculated measure to observe the thakur’s response, and that such a drastic reaction might be unwise. Kharswan would not relent, however, and the ban on worship of Dhalavei came down. That very night the thakur received a death threat from the forbidden cult."

Raheem clears his throat again. "The Maurya-Rahm are very concerned for our leader's safety. We have employed every means we could muster to find and destroy the Cult of the Ebon Destroyers. When I recalled that you were visiting, I thought that you may have
advantages in finding the cult that the locals wouldn't."

"So would you consider giving us your assistance? Please, name a price."

Omrax bows deeply in respect to the ruler of this land. Always more eager than thoughtful, the knight responds without hesitation.

"Your Eminence, your audience with us is indeed a great honor. This cult of treacherous Villains shall be brought to justice. While I do not want to speak for my fellow agents,
I willingly offer my service in apprehending the killers and ending this terror on your lands.
What evidence or clues can you provide. "


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

"I thank you heartily. The Thakur of course sends his thanks as well. I will use whatever political and social influence I have to help you in any way you think might be necessary."

Raheem continues, "I ask, however, that you report only to me. I trust my fellow councilors but to ensure the cult can't sabotage the investigation I think it important to keep this as tight as possible." He provides an official writ of authority affirming that you are working for him, as well as letters of introduction to several people knowledgeable about the cult: Prince Kanvar, a great student of Vudrani history; Lord Mahindra, an infamous rumormonger; Pravezak, the thakur's spiritual counselor; and Varunasi, a high-caste merchant well acquainted with current regional politics.

"I would suggest starting with any of them. I'm sure they will be able to offer more assistance than myself if you seek further information."

That's... that's awfull and wrong ! said Kaâb hearing what this cult was doing.

I'm joigning Omrax in his offer of services. Under the Light of Sarenrae I give you my words that we will pursue these evil men until the dawn of the world.

Arnthoth shrugs, happy to have something to do.

Mordrak listens to Lord Raheem's words with increasing alarm, horrified by the actions of these Ebon Destroyers. He nods in agreement at Omrax's offer. My people, the Zenj, have a saying: Bwana bwana b'wana bwana. Seeing that Raheem does not understand Polyglot, Mordrak continues with a smile. It is difficultness to translate the phrase exactly, but it more or less means what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong and one must put what is wrong right and keep what is right right at every avenue.

"So we are all in agreement. We shall prevail against this evil cult."

Yes ! Said Kaâb at Omrax comment.

She deeply and graciously bowed to Raheem saying

The satisfaction of getting rid of an evil cult and protecting innocent people is itself the greatest reward ! after a short silence, as if she was trying to remember something important she added
But, we also are member of the Pathfinder Society and here we act at its behalf.
As you seem more than well connected to Thakur Kharswan I'm sure you could speak highly of the Society to Him. Facilitating the exchanges and activities the Society could ask/

Omrax will accept the writ of authority from Lord Raheem with a respectful bow.

"BY our honor, we shall see it done. Of these councilors,
Prince Kanvar,Lord Mahindra, Pravezak, Varunasiare,
are any close at hand?"

He turns for any other suggestions...

As Lady Kaâb states, A diplomatic agreement with the Society would be mutually beneficial."

Omrax pauses in silent meditation as they plan their next steps.


• I will learn the weight of my sword. Without my heart
to guide it, it is worthless—my strength is not in my
sword, but in my heart. If I lose my sword, I have lost a
tool. If I betray my heart, I have died.

• I will have faith in the Inheritor. I will channel her
strength through my body. I will shine in her legion,
and I will not tarnish her glory through base actions.

Omrax looks around for suggestions. If no others offered he replies simply...

"Lacking any other criteria to judge, I would say visiting each in order of distance from the palace is as good of a strategy as any. Of the four, which would be the shortest distance from here?"

How in a such beautiful country could men or women being so vile ? I will never understand. said Kaâb

Oh ! Good thinking Omrax ! I will never thought of that ! said Kaâb smiling.

Pravezak, the spiritual adviser, resides in the thakur's palace and you are led to the thin man. He has wild, frizzy hair and dresses in simple orange robes. He only speaks Vudrani.

Not at presently, Mordrak says, but I have a scroll (that I never put on his profile, apparently; I'll update that tonight) that should helpfully assist us. He draws a scroll of tongues and shows it to Pravezak to demonstrate that it is not an offensive spell in any way, then, without objection, casts it using his mnemonic vestment.

"Good plan, Sir Mordrak. We may need to hire a translator if the other councilors are unable to speak with us directly"

Omrax awaits the response from the Councilor relayed by J'ngo.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Pravezak nods at the scroll and then greets you again in Vudrani. "Hello and welcome. You must be the adventurers Lord Raheem has hired; I was told he was searching for outside help. Who are you and how may I help you?"

Mordrak will carefully translate what is said back and forth.

Greetings, exalted one! I introducize my friends: Lady Kaâb Al-Burda, devotee of the Dawnflower who is bathed in Sarenrae's fire; Ser Omrax the Bold, paladin of Iomadae and one of the Inheritor's chosen; and mighty Arnthoth Koortuskson, of the tribal Kellid nations in far north Avistan. Mordrak allows each of his companions to greet Pravezak in their customary fashion after introducing them, then bows low and continues. I am Mordrak, your humble servant.

We are representatives of the Pathfinder Society in your fair city. Lord Raheem has told us of your troubles with this Cult of Ebon Destroyers, and we wish to discussificate with you to learn what you can share with us.

Arnthoth grunts in greeting as he is motioned toward, then lays a hand on Volfie. "Volfie." He says.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

"Ah yes!" the old man says. "Theirs is an extreme form of worship of the Unsuspected Rot, that is, the goddess Dhalavei. I can, I suppose, give you some information about the goddess and I hope this can enlighten you in your investigations."

"Stories describe Dhalavei as a shapely, three-headed woman with ebon-black skin and unbound blue-black hair. Each of her two arms branches at the elbow into six forearms, in which she holds a temple sword, a noose, a black glass orb, and a sealed scroll. One hand shows a symmetric symbol on the palm, while her last hand is outstretched in a mystic gesture."

"As all colors vanish in shadow and darkness, so do all forms and things vanish in Dhalavei’s shadow. Her faithful claim that she holds the hidden comprehension of the unmaking of all things, and that she awaits the time when her cult is perfectly positioned to unleash her final destruction. She relishes well-planned espionage that leads to the devastation of enemies, the sowing of discord that breaks families, and secret political corruption that topples empires."

"Frequently outlawed, Dhalavei’s cultists work in clandestine groups and sacrifice their enemies and other intelligent beings to their dark goddess. The new moon is a propitious time for sacrifices to Dhalavei, as her cult claims that she then actively strips the light from the night sky. Eclipses are especially sacred events to Dhalavei’s faithful."

Omrax listens as J'ngo translates.

"This cult is a threat to all law abiding and descent citizens anywhere in this city. This must come to an end and soon. Are there any known or even suspected temples or chapels to this dark goddess? "


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Pravezak shakes his head. "That is not something of which I am aware. I am certain they exist but if we knew about such locations they would have been raided already."

Suddenly Kaâb asked first to Pravezak, then to J'ngo - realizing, or remembering, he couldn't understand her - Can you ask to the esteemed Prevezak when will occur the new moon ? I fear that when it arrived it will be to late for their Thakur !
We may also ask for any recent familial dispute in Thakur's guard.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Pravezak answers, "I am no astronomer but I do not think the new moon is scheduled for another week at least. I have heard nothing of any disputes in among the guards."

Mordrak nods emphatically at each statement on either side, though it is unclear whether he actually agrees or is simply acknowledging that both sides are talking.

Anything else we need to ask? Or should we move on to our next interview candidate?

Arnthoth takes in the conversation, but says nothing.

Nothing more to ask, here. I'd ask where he would start looking if he were looking, but I suspect that won't gain anything.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Who do you want to speak with next?

Prince Kanvar, student of history: a noble of the scholar caste who lies near the Grand Chronicler's Circle

Lord Mahindra, rumormonger: an elderly man with a graying beard and fathery demanor who acts as an information broker in the Heights

Varunasi, authority on politics: a high-caste merchant who has a clothing shop in the Commerce District

The rumormonger?

"Let's seek out the one who speaks with two tongues..." Arnthoth suggests.

"Rumors and gossip are the tools of the evil ones. So that seems like a likely next step, Sir Koortuskson. Maybe asking for directions to the rumor monger would be helpful."

Omrax bows in respect to the councilor since he cannot thank him verbally.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

It is not too difficult to locate Lord Mahindra, a well-known personality in the Heights. When presented with Lord Raheem's letter of introduction, Mahindra thinks for a moment, stroking his beard, then tells you about some things he believes may be related to your investigation. "A headless body was recently found int eh Commerce District, a particularly gruesome affair unlike even the most violent of Niswan's crimes. I've also heard rumors of informants in the palace guard, though who they sell information to is something even I can't glean from local chatter. Raheem is a good friend, and you seem like honest folk; I promise to try to find out more. I can also find you dedicated spouses if you're in the market, heh?"

He can provide you directions to the scene of the crime if you wish.

was the above in common or is a translator needed.

Omrax bows in greeting the man.

Assuming Omrax understands him, or the account is translated...

"Violence of this kind indicates the vile nature of the enemy. Animals would not take only the head. And too much effort for robbers. Unfortunately, I fear a darker purpose at work...one we must stop. Please continue your research. And as to your offer for a wife, I am already dedicated to a lady of a higher calling . " he points to his holy symbol of Iomedae.

Common.

Lord Mahindra smirks at Omrax and says, "To each his own I suppose. We don't get much worship of that kind around here. Good luck on your investigations, truly. It will be a benefit to us all to protect the Thakur and rid our city of those villains who would try to hurt him."

Very good. Please direct us to the scene of the crime and we will conduct our investigation.
We may or may not return today, depending on whence the clues lead us.
If you uncover any additional details before we return, please inform Lord Raheem and no one else.

Omrax will bow in gratitude and awaits directions to the crime scene.

You are directed to the scene of the crime, a relatively nondistinct area in the Commerce District. As you look around the area, a man comes out of a nearby shop and begins speaking to you in Vudrani.

Kaâb smiled at the man and said

I'm sorry sir, but I don't understand you... Do you speak common ?
