"Ah, it feels good to be back on the road! I feel as though I've been off farming for at least a year!" Bellweather "Fletch" Ninefarthing smiles up at the open sky and ruffles the fur betwen the ears of Romulus, his enormous wolf.

"I'd almost thought the Society had forgotten about me. There was that disaster on the Storval Stairs, but you'd think that putting down a Runelord would smooth things over eventually."

Fendahl, appears to be a half-elf with a hint of wild in his appearance, especially his silvery hair and sideburns. His armor has bits of horn and covered with markings from the far East.

Closeby, there is a lioness that follows Fendahl closely, watching for commands or an occasional treat from his companion.

Fendahl bows deeply to each of the assembled Pathfinders in traditional eastern fashion...

"It is my honor to serve with you . "

A maximum loudness jam overcomes the group as Ace floats in on the wings of two beautiful angels slamming notes from his electric guitar.

"I have arrived!" he states as he lands.

"Thanks for lift, girls." he says with a wink and a nod to the angels. They giggle before disappearing with a pop.

"I hope I haven't missed the briefing... Please tell me I missed it, Fendahl." he states before conspiratorially whispering to the huntsmaster.

Fendahl looks up with surprise and recognition of Ace and his arrival, entourage included.

He bows to the bard.

"Hrrmm, no Master Ace. The briefing has not yet started. I see you are doing well.
I suspect this mission will take longer than our prior trek through the Tanglebriar."

Trotter Male Halfling Venture-Captain 19

Trotter, looking a bit worn and tired, shakes the snow from his fedora as he enters through the door of the meeting room in the Flaxseed Lodge. "Hello! Hello! Good to see you again, Ace! And everyone!" he consults his clipboard momentarily and then says, "It looks like we're missing a couple but I'm on a tight schedule so you can fill them in later."

Sent a PM to Tolgarov and Tek still needs to choose a character but we can go ahead and start.

"So," Trotter begins, "I don't have a lot of information for you; you'll have to find out what you can along the way. But ultimately your goal is to investigate the disappearance of scholar Meloigne
Garracy. He was last seen in this collection of travelling shows and merchants called The Umbra Carnival only days ago, hunting for a fortune-teller called “All-Seeing Hajeck.” As I understand it, he was seeking for a lost Varisian library that would have been a boon to those scholars interested in Varisian culture, folktales, and storytelling."

Trotter glances down at his clipboard again and nods. "Well, I'm afraid that's about all the information I've got. But Meloigne is a friend of the Society's so find all you can about his disappearance and find him or this library and report back to me later with your findings. But now I've really got to be going back to. . . well, let's just say I've got to get back to my mission. Good luck!"

Tolgarov is a very fat human sweating constantly. He weights nearly two hundred pounds for barely more than 5'3 feet high. The bold man is tattooed everywhere with varisian style tattoos, his black pigseyes driven by a cruel glow. His complexion is pale, almost greenish and its teeth are particularly sharp and when he smiles, two of its canines unfolds. He is dressed in an ostentatious way, his large and greasy hands adorns expensive rings of the worst taste. His dresses are detailed and from high quality (but also of the worst taste). Around his neck, he wears a stylized key and some sort of a seven branched star as an amulet.
His has a pretty bad reputation in the society as a merchant. Nevertheless the man has a true presence, troubling and intimidating.

He asked about their new mission with a strong varisian accent

Do you know where is this "Umbral Carnival"

Hawkwren stands in the back of the room, shaking his head as Ace enters. "Sweet Erastil, this stands to be an interesting mission.. Nodding to the rockstar, he turns attention to Trotter. "Sound like we need to start with this carnival. I'm Hawkwren by the way." The half-elf say as way of introduction.

Fendahl bows to the two newcomers as he listens to the Halfling finish the briefing.

"Hrrmm, I have heard of such carnivals. If they move from small town to town, it could take time to track them down. But by my honor, I will not stop until we find Meloigne."

He leans back and feeds the lioness another ration.

"Hawk, ol' buddy! Ol' pal! It's like the whole gang is back. Fenny, Hawk and Trotter. I tell you guys what though. Carnivals are creepy as hell. Clowns and s@&@. Stages are for music, not knife throwing or tight-roping." Ace excitedly spouts.

"Might as well head out to Varisia. Those people know how to party and they love me. Let me tell you. One time, there were these three Varisian girls and their grandmother! ..." Ace proceeds to tell of how the grandmother was actually a witch with a specialty in transmutation magic. "And believe or not, she was the hottest of the bunch. After a little hand-waving and Threefold Aspect, of course, but who am I to judge."

"At the moment I believe you'll find it in the hinterlands near Sandpoint somewhere. I'm sure once you get closer you can ask around for an exact location; it moves around, as you can imagine."

Tolgarov knows that the Varisians know how to put on a good carnival. He's never heard of this one specifically, but then again there are many wandering Varisian bands throughout the country and it is difficult for anyone to keep track of them. They are famed not only for their sideshow tricks but also for their fortune-telling and mind-reading sideshows, as well. The use of Harrow decks and Harrow related magic and skills are popular among Varisians.

Anything else or ready to head to the Carnival?

"Keep us out of trouble? More like find the trouble! Let's get to it!" Ace cheerfully exclaims as he slaps Hawk on the back and strides towards Varisia. Well, more aptly as he strides towards his palisade and allows his men to carry him to Varisia.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

It takes some time in Varisia wandering about with various gypsy tribes asking about the carnival. Quite a few people have heard of it but don't necessarily know exactly where it is at the moment. Eventually, however, you are able to track it down just as the tents and sideshows are being set up outside the small coastal town of Sandpoint.

The carnival offers many of the usual fares, including fantastic foodstuffs and thrilling games, both of which are sure to empty your pockets quickly. There are sideshows featuring the weird and wonderful, including men performing dazzling acrobatic maneuvers, a bearded woman, several halflings wrestling against a tamed bear, and of course, a fortune-teller called “All-Seeing Hajeck.” A hand-painted sign outside a tumbledown tent on the carnival’s edge promises that the fortune-teller resides within.

"That's the fellow that Meloigne was looking for," says Fletch, coming upon the fortune-teller's tent after cheering on the bear-wrestling halflings.

"We should take a look."

With that said, Fletch directs his wolf Romulus to stay outside the tent and then he enters, letting his eyes adjust to the gloom.

"All-Seeing Hajeck? I'd like to know if I'm going to meet a mysterious stranger," he says. "Or maybe go on a journey to an exotic location."

Fendahl nods in agreement with Fletch.

"Seems we have finally found our quarry. Kirrah - stay."

Fendahl will also step inside the tent.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

As you step into the tent, you are hit with the strong smell of incense and the air is thick enough to taste. A woman draped with many strands of beads and wearing long frizzy brown hair sits before a low table. A small (mundane) crystal ball sits to the side, as does a deck of cards. Her outfit is full of bobbles and things dangling unnecessarily from every inch of her garments. "So you wish for a fortune, good man? Come and sit with me and you shall hear what the All-Seeing Hajeck can tell you."

She sits with her eyes closed for a moment, then slyly peeks out at Fletch for a second.

DC 10 Sense Motive:
She is waiting for payment or another indication from someone.

Fletch is surprised to find that the Pathfinders have piled into the tent behind him. He nonetheless slides a heavy gold coin across the table towards the old woman.

"Oh!" the woman says, dropping her mysterious act for a moment. "Well I can actually help you with that one! Everyone's looking for something or someone, you know; it's a safe bet when telling fortunes."

"Yes, the sage Meloigne Garracy visited seeking information on a vast library gathered by a Varisian woman named Sonnorae. I helped send him there, but can’t bring him back on my own. I could send you after him, to a place of incredible knowledge and riches. You might find a way out. But then again, you might not. There is little I can do once you are there."

Ace offhandedly states "Blackout? I can help you with that, Fletch. Just let me..."

You see his hands dart in and out of the tent, returning with roast thylacine dogs on sticks. After about ten of them, he starts to munch. "I got some stuff that we can use for that or we can just do it the old fashioned way with lots of booze."


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Snuffing zombies again, Ace? Lol.

"I warn you, I have never been there and do not know about getting out. But if you wish to go there yourselves. . . ."

She reaches to the side table where stands a worn Harrow deck. "I can lead you into the Harrowed Realm. You will be able to see, hear, and speak with me while in there if all goes to plan." She begins to lay some of the cards out on the table. As she does so she waves her hands over them in a specific gesture and they begin to rise and swirl in the air.

Suddenly there is a loud BANG! and cards begin to swirl into a vortex. You can see the surprise on All-Seeing Hajeck and in her shock she drops the magical deck of cards and the rest of the deck is sucked into the vortex and, presumably, into the extradimensional gate that has formed in the middle of her tent. You see her mouth several swear words under her breath.

"Go! Go! I will close the gate behind you!" she shouts. "Good luck!"

It seems there is nothing else but to enter the "Harrowed Realm" and, one by one, you all leap through the gate as it closes behind you, sucking the rest of cards with it. The All-Seeing Hajeck now stands alone in her tent without her artifact, no way of contacting you.

Deck of Harrowed Tales (Minor Artifact):

Aura strong conjuration; CL 20th
Slot —; Weight 1lb.
Description

The Deck of Harrowed Tales is a unique harrow deck linked to the Harrowed Realm. Creatures within the Harrowed Realm peering through the outreaching eye can view, hear, and speak with the deck’s wielder. The outreaching eye allows the observer to cast dominate person once per day on the deck’s wielder.

Once per day, at a mental command from its wielder, the Deck of Harrowed Tales can create a swirling vortex to the Harrowed Realm, as per the spell gate. This ability does not function while the deck is on the Harrowed Realm.

Each of the 54 cards in the Deck of Harrowed Tales is linked to an element within the Harrowed Realm, be it a location, a creature, or an event. If the players correctly identify these associations during the adventure, they may “play” the chosen cards from their deck for specific boons, described next to the cards’ names at the start of each encounter or location. Once a card has been played, the GM should keep it out of play, and if a card is played at the incorrect time, the players simply miss out on its effects when they do encounter the appropriate story element.

^I'm still deciding the best way to do this. There is a list of the cards, but the artwork on the cards really helps out a lot. I don't own the Harrow Deck to just scan them in so I'll see what I can find out soon. I'll wait to move too far and to describe where you land until I can figure that out.

That's an entrance ! Said Tolgarov after going through the vortex

Then he began to look around to see what difference this Harrow world had with the material plane.

"'Go get the scholar,' they said," moans Fletch. "'An easy snacth-and-grab', they said. Why is it always dangerous vortices and cults of the Seven-Headed Phlegm god? Just once, couldn't it be a pleasant cruise and the cult of the fluffy bunny god?"

He sighs theatrically, picks up his bow and quiver and heads in after Tolgarov.

Taking a deep breath, Hawk glances outside the tent for a moment, then follows after Tolgarov and Fletch!

Fendahl will follow suit with the others (not saying which suit).

If it is possible to call Kirrah into the vortex to join, he will call to her to come. If not, then he will have her stay/guard the tent. Was not really sure if we were all in the tent or others entered after the vortex started

"Hanspur will protect us." Ace states. He grabs a small, padded bag from his porter and turns it over. A small ratling falls to the ground.

"Hey! What's the deal, Ace! I was dreaming about those three sexy lab rats I was telling you about..." The little ratling yells, rubbing his snout.

"Here, have a snack." Ace hands the ratling a thylacine dog. "You are always grumpy until you eat."

"Keep your eyes open and I will summon you a horde of sexy lab rats to carry you around on a palisade or whatever it is that you do." Ace assuages his familiar's grumpiness.

"You know what I do and that's a deal!" Hanspur says as he climbs on Ace's shoulder using his Detect Magic to help look for potential issues.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

You were all in the tent. Kirrah came with unless you didn't want her to for some reason.

You are deposited roughly on the ground with the cards of the Harrow deck spread out around you. Looming tents seem to reach greedily for the overcast sky before their tips curl back down in defeat. Faded paint peels from disused cages and wagons scattered about, while slow organ music drifts through the empty pathways. Nearby, a yawning entry leads into the dark interior of a twisted and massive central tent.

Fendahl nods in agreement with Maldoc.

"Hrrmm, you are right master Tisbane. They may be our on,y way back. Should we try to contact the Seer? . "

Fendahl will cast an extended greater magic fang on Kirrah while waiting.
