Feeling the eyes upon him and observing the sneers, he gives a faint smile as he approaches the bar. While he moves through the tavern, his eyes dart from one patron to another – his divine sight telling the weight of their hearts.

Agriver pulls up a stool and nods at the barkeep. ”Bit of a chilly welcome I must admit… sir.. SIR?” he comments trying to get the barkeeps attention. When the keep finally acknowledges the knight – he asks ”I am seeking one of my order here – one who goes by the name if Jamison. He is a sword knight and of the rank of Captain. Can you help me?”

He then drags a couple coins from his belt and places them on the old worn wooden bar. ”Given the reaction my presence has here… I would … leave if you tell me what I need to know.”

The innkeep slides the coins behind tge bar and washes a glass. "hard to miss someone dressed as boldly as you. Canxt say i know the name. Havent seen anyone else like that around here. Sorry friend."

As the barkeep puts a mug of ale in front of Agriver, he glances at a man 3 stools down from him.

After a few more coins are dropped for the swill of an ale... agriver takes a stool next to his fellow patron. "i might know of a man fitting your description...." he trails off and finishes his ale and orders another.

Agriver slides the mug of ale in front of him over to the gent before he finishes his order.

"Allow me friend. I never touch the stuff, I've always been more a mulled wine drinker - and this may surprise you, but it needs to be a certain vintage... the pains of growing up a nobles son I suppose."

He then forces an uncomfortable laugh and continues "Tell me what I want to know sir, and I will buy your next round as well."

The man taked the ale with a scoff. After a stiff pull says "yea i heard about the iomedaen cleric... heard the man headed to Solanas on some religious fool's errand. Dangerous frontier town down the river way."

robin knowledge:
Solanas: Solanas is a frontier town through and through. Though it has a sheriff and a mayor, the true authority here is a coalition of citizens called the Solanas Concern, which constantly threatens assassination to get its way. The beleaguered sheriff does all he can to keep the peace, but the Concern—little more than a gang of criminals—stops him wherever he interferes with its interests. Crime in Solanas is rampant, with deaths or serious injuries just about every day. The mayor has an emissary in Daggermark, begging the new Lord Livondar for help, but so far the Solanas Concern seems to have full control of the town. Oddly, Solanas is home to a relatively large Pathfinder Society lodge, complete with a main hall, a dormitory, and a stable full of fresh horses. The lodge is guarded by mercenaries and sees regular traffic. Whatever the Society is doing in Solanas, it must be significant.

"Many thanks sir."

Agriver nods at the barkeep and places a pair of coins (from the spire) on the bar and points to the patron.

As the paladin leaves he lets his divine sight linger on one of the more red auras. When walking by he places his gauntleted hand on the patrons tables and leans in - then whispers.

"Be seeing you soon...."

With that he leaves the tavern and begins brushing down the horse and getting them fed while he waits for the party ranger.

"I am sure Robin will have all sorts of advice on Solanas."

After leaving his bow at the enchanter's to get enhanced, Robin feels a little naked. He makes his way to the weapons shops, and finds a bowyer that is up to his strict standards. Testing many of the bows, he finally finds one that is crafted from a darkwood limb, with a satisfactory pull. "I think this one will do," he says, as he pays the man. "I may want to get this enchanted, eventually..." he muses, happy with his new backup weapon.

Spends 730gp for a second darkwood bow. +3 STR

He then makes his way back to the tavern, fully expecting to find Agriver embroiled in some sort of trouble. He is surprised to find the man outside, brushing down the horses.

Yon sits. Meditating on the sounds of the nearby stream.
Beneath him, acting as a stool, is a water logged treasure chest, caked in mud.

I suppose... if Robin can find things to buy with all the gold we've found. I can too. He thinks to himself.

And I suppose... I've learned enough tower born now to know I need to dress a little fancier.

Standing up, Yon grabs the chest, and hefts it over his shoulder. With a short-sharp whistle towards Rbuod. Yon begins to walk back to the fort.

Agriver and Robin make their way to Solanas without incident. As they enter town, both can sense animosity and distrust from the peering eyes.

Agriver doesn’t shy away from what he is as he enters this obviously disapproving town. Instead he let’s his divine eyes paint each person he sees as he trots by on his way to the Pathfinder Lodge. He gives a polite nod to anyone who makes eye contact with him and let’s his faith be his shield.

Upon arriving at the lodge he dismounts and greets one of the stewards and converses as he tethers his mount.

”Hail and well met sir. We have traveled here in search of one of my kind. If my appearance did not give way to my purpose or lot in life…. I am Agriver a holy knight of her grace Iomadae, son of the merchant house of Rall. I seek Captain Jamison, a sword knight by trade.. Can you point me toward him?”

Robin and Agriver at Solanas
The trio easily find the Pathfinder lodge, and to their surprise, it is quite empty. The stables appear to be cleared out of all horses and the main halls only have one or two individuals maintaining the lodge.

The Venture Lieutenant greets you after some time "Pardon the mess - we are a bit short handed at the moment. I am afraid i do not recognize the name Jamison... it is not the name of our venture captain..."

After clarifying who Agriver is seeking... "oh. I heard about a priest of Iomedae at the tavern. Some necromancy talltale. I am afraid i do not know of his whereabouts. Sorry."

With the looks that they were getting, Robin is relieved that his traveling companion doesn't introduce himself to the guards again.

Robin notices the dramatic changes in the lodge. When putting up the horses, he takes a quick look around to see how long it has been since the stables were last fully occupied.

survival/urban/tracking: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 4 + 4 = 25

Robin ascertains it has been at least days since the horses left.

When talking to the lieutenant left in charge, he says, "Name's L'il. Robin L'il." he offers his handshake to the man. "You probably haven't heard of me, or my brother, as we operate more out of the Echo Woods area these days.

"Not a lot going on up there, though. A little exploration and spelunking, so to speak. What's been going on around here?"

sense motive on the lieutenant: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

"Oh, interesting. I wonder what is around here that could merit such a large excursion." Robin ponders out loud. "Hasn't been much happening around here, that I know of. Has there been activity around Nerosyan lately?"

He scratches a this beard for a moment. "Or maybe Kenabres? I seem to remember hearing something about that city when we were back in Absalom."

Agriver nods quietly at the lieutenant and gives a weak smile. ”Priest… tavern… hmmm” the knight tips his helm at his fellow pathfinder.

”Robin I will meet you at the tavern I guess, we should finish this up and see our focus back to our purpose soon.”

With that he heads toward the drinking hole, his greaves and armor making it painfully obvious he doesn’t belong here.

Robin and Agriver at Solanas
The Lieutenant smirks at Robin. "As i said.. I won't be going into it right now. I'm sure you'll find out eventually." He nods to each of you and offers to have the horses well cared for.,.. "The wolf too if it would like some attention."

The duo depart the lodge in search of information. The tavern they enter the establishment and quietly sit down at the bar for an order of drinks.

Agriver smiles and waves the barkeep over, once there he orders drink for Robin and himself.. and things better of getting Ayame some meat from a place this run down.

"Sir - I seek a cleric of Iomadae - I was told he frequented this establishment. Would you be kind enough to point me his direction?"

Removing his gauntlet he pulls a ornate coin from the spire and places it on the bar sliding it toward its tender.

Robin and Agriver at Solanas
The bartender puts the clean mug he was washing on top of the coin, and proceeds to pour two ales for the patrons. Agriver notices 3 particularly angry looking gentlemen (detecting as evil) in the corner, snearing at him and all wearing knife sheaths from numerous locations.

With the ales delivered, the bartender speaks "Fit chap, yay high?" yeah he was in here a week ago. heard he met an unsavory end i the woods. mauled to death by vicious animals they say. Last i heard his effects had no owner and were collected by the Sheriff." He withdraws the clean mug and to reveal the coin is gone.

Robin notices the three in the corner, and sizes them up, quickly. "Agriver sumus pauci nostra interesse cap. Sit scriptor esse, parum diligenter." he says, in Azlanti, to Agriver.

Azlanti:

Agriver, we have a few chaps interested in us. Let's be a little careful.

Robin gives Ayame a hand-signal to indicate she is to be on alert (shifts her into defend instead of heel) He quickly downs the ale, "Thank you for the ale, friend." he says to the barkeep. "Did good to wash down some of the trail dust. Say, might you know of a place my a couple of folk might bed down for the night, something softer than a rocky trail camp, that is? Been too long since we've been able to sleep in a proper bed."

Agriver raises an eyebrow at Robin at the mention of staying in an inn at this location.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Is he baiting the men at the table?

"Barkeep, where can I find the sheriff? And buy the interested party at the table toward the back a round on me. We don't want trouble here - our calling is divine and has great purpose.."

Agriver looks over his shoulder and smiles at the table full of less than savory thugs.

Any form of law in this city would face corruption at any corner.. I wonder if these thugs have the poor sheriff's body buried in an unmarked plot... time will tell. I wonder if these thugs would be silly enough to start something here...

The barkeep shrugs and points you in the direction of the north end of town where the sheriff resides. He takes your coins and pours the thugs a round.

Robin bites his tongue and moves out with Agriver. When out of the bar, he says, "Quod verisimile esset propius quam putas. Memento, nemo curat de splendida hic titulus vel est pater tuus mercatorum societas. In facto, vis ad esse probabiliter te ad redi ad optimum, si sciebant. Sit scriptor loqui vicecomitis et invenietis et ubi corpus inventum est. Maybe nos discere aliquid. At nunc non aliunde ire magos si sit. Nos can adducere in toto dolor est, si quid agis."

Azlanti:
That was likely closer than you think. Remember, no one here cares about your noble title, or your father's mercantile company. In fact, they probably would want to ransom you, at best, if they knew. Let's talk to the sheriff, and find out where the body was found. Maybe we will learn something. But, I don't think now is the time to go after any necromancers, if one exists. We can bring the whole team down if that is what we are doing.

While on the street, Robin makes sure his bow is stowed, and his blade sheathed. He keeps his eyes open for danger,hoping that his training (and paranoia while being in an urban environment) helps him more than the local's knowledge of the terrain. He does take a quick stop at a privy, and while in there, out of anyone's sight, he casts an extended barkskin and extended longstrider on himself (100 mins and 10 hours, respectively.)

He also realizes that there is likely nothing he can do to cover their trail, in that his partner is impossible not to notice.

Agriver listens to Robin's concerns and nods quietly. "Have faith Robin - our cause is just, if those thugs wish to test our metal then shall know why the goddess has named us both her chosen."

The paladin does make a feeble attempt to pull his cloak over his shoulders and sadly covers his house crest..

"Random... I read many novels as a child about damsels who were abducted and randomed... But I wouldn't worry my friend, you don't have the curls for it"

He says chuckling at the expression on the woodsmans face.

Slapping the ranger on the back he re-iterates "Have faith"

Agriver and Robin find the Sheriff's house without issue. He is a quiet, tired looking man. he does not detect evil

When asked about Captain Jamison, he responds "Poor soul got him self mauled by animals they say. Seeing the body i can't disagree... a horrible painful way to die. Claimed to be hunting a Dhampir fella... but no one i know has seen anyone by her description. I am afraid if you are here for his possessions, they have already been claimed by the Concern. Sorry to say you won't be easily prying those items from them."

At hearing this hos brow furrows. "Mauled by animals? In this town, that seems unlikely - perhaps the animals from where we just came..."

Looking at Robin then to the Sheriff "Who I is this "Concern" and where can I find them. If there were relics to the church of Iomadae they will need to be reclaimed and returned to the faith...."

Looking directly at Robin the paladin speaks in Azlanti.

"Ovo mjesto i njegovi ljudi počinju nositi na svom strpljenju. Ako je netko ubio tog siromašnog svećenika mojega reda - lokalni policijski službenici izgledaju neprikladni ili nesposobni za mjerenje lokalne pravde. To bi moglo biti moj zadatak kao vitez njezine svetosti. Zatvori ovo, guska je naš pravi poziv."

"This place and its people are beginning to wear on my patience. If somebody killed this poor priest of my order - the local law enforcement seems unfit or unable to meter out local Justice. That may end up being my charge as a knight of her holiness.. Let's wrap this up, the spire is our true calling."

After absorbing the details - Agriver gives a curt bow and blesses the old man.

"The Concern are the real rulers of this town, right, Sheriff?" says Robin. "The fellows you bought a round for in the tavern likely worked for them. A mercantile group, you might say, with fewer morals than the Aspis Consortium."

He asks the Sheriff, "Where was the body found? I would like to see the body, if it is still above ground. And I would like to inspect where he was killed. We'll be quick about it, and do our best not to draw attention to you." With that last, he is actually looking at Agriver rather than the Sheriff.


Male Human (Minnesota) GM 3 Tactical Map - Land Rush

"the body was burned couple days ago, along with the site. I never found out who the arson was, but i believe it was due to the "necromancer" gossip.

As for the Concern, across the street is a green door. Knock twice and ask for an audience. They won't give you a name but if you have money they will hear you out.
Don't provoke the guards though... best assassins in 300 miles.... "

Assassin is just another word for a skilled coward with no morals

"Many thanks sir, we will endeavor to show the proper respect. May Iomadae bless you and your home."

With that he takes his leave and heads toward the fabled green door.

He knocks twice and looks at Robin with a smile. "I am actually starting to miss the spire" he comments.

When the panel slides and the guards question Agriver about his business he simply says - "We wish an audience regarding the burned body of the Iomadaean priest sir. May we enter? We have coin and seek information and to possibly return some of his effects to my order - I do have coin."

Agriver is allowed entrance after a small tax of 20 gold coins.

He finds thr doorman is not evil, but many individuals inside are. He is led to a room with a woman behind a desk evil. Two guards stand behind her with two more at the door.

"i am told you wish to purchase some recently acquired merchandise?"

Agriver looks uncomfortable and silently for once in his life wishes Robin were here to offer some more of his sage advice.

"I am of the same order he was miss. I wish to see his belongings and if you require gold to acquire them, then so be it. Holy relics need to be returned to the goddess and her servants. May I see what you have?"

While the woman is retrieving the items, Agriver presses. "How did he meet his end? I wish to inform the clergy who will in turn let his kin know, depending on his vows he may have had family.. it would be important for closure."

As she answers Agriver weighs her response.

Sense Motive for her answer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Seems like an honest lady, I wonder why her heart weighs wicked - I will have to meditate on this.

"we have no information on his unfortunate demise. Not much left of him."

She nods to the guard at the door who whispers through a peek hole. A few minutes later a cart is rolled in with the priest's effects. A holy symbol, embroidered cloak, embroidered gauntlets, 2 rings, damaged chainmail.

"such Holy Relics are very rare and valuable. Seeing as i may never see their like again, i am inclined to offer you them all for one hundred thousand gold."

Does this woman think I could even WALK with a hundred thousand gold, let alone would I carry it in this flea ridden pit of a town

Agriver smile warmly and says "The gauntlets milady - those are of my church and I fear I cannot afford all of the others.. could you be persuaded to part with them?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 2 = 27 +2 for Robins amazing sage advice

She seems disappointed at this but listens to him. After a little more bartering they agree on a price for the gauntlets.

Agriver exits the building with his cloak wrapped around the ornate gauntlets, as he sees Robin he whispers "We should go... let's get back and pick your bow before word gets out that I just casually handed over a kings ransom for this."

The paladin looks understandably uncomfortable holding such a valuable divine relic in a place like this.

"We need to get back to the Fort, and then to the spire - we have been gone too long already."

Once the pair is clear of Solanas, he inspects his prize and tries them on for size.

Robin is obviously relieved when Agriver exists the building, all of his parts intact. "I am glad you got what you needed." he says, keeping his eyes pealed for trouble.

Later, on the trail, "Let's get back to Daggermark, so I can pick up my bow, and then maybe I can see what that expedition found for me. Gotta be something good, right?"

Robin and Agriver make their way back to Daggermark. After another week, Robin's bow is ready and they depart for the keep.

Elsewheres, Ansel continues to peacefully spend his days. Falandra has taking a linking to his presence, and has gained him access to any spellbook in the Chancery. His marble statue has even started to take form.

Yon has also found serenity in his free time... while Rboud continues to enjoy his freedom by disappearing into the Echo woods and returning the next day... usually...

As soon as Robin makes it back to Fort Inevitable, he ditches the paladin. He then searches out Yon, and with an uncanny ability, he finds the reclusive druid, and shares a skin of wine with his brother.

"Yon, I need something to kill, soon. Almost two weeks with Mr. 'I am a noble's son.' 'I am a scion of Iomedae.' 'I am a paragon on virtue.' 'I know the River Kingdoms.'" He pulls deeply on the skin. [b]"Just makes you want to unload a quiver into something, you know?"

During these two weeks Ansel has become extremely happy. After the first week he sufficiently unwound and has been growing socially in the fort by visiting Falandra for brief morning chats and heading to the Chancery once dinner and a few ales were in him.

Early on his research found mention of a magical rod that can aid a caster in surmounting arcane resistance. Speaking with those who run the Chancery, Ansel inquires on the item and the chances of his being able to acquire one. In the meantime he pours over the texts there and spends large amounts of gold in materials to copy over the new spells he finds. Details below

On the last evening before the others return from Daggermark, Ansel sits in the shop and stares at his labor of love. The statue is still rough in form, but some features are now recognizable. The bottom half of the slab hasn’t been touched, but the top half is in the vague form of a humanoid. The recovered piece of stone from the Spire has been spliced to the marble block at the top most point, but what is actually being depicted is still a mystery to all but Ansel. The Dwarf sits silently and stares. He begins to hum to himself absently, then picks up a day old stein from the floor near the chair. Tipping it over shards of marble fall out. He blows into it to remove any dust. After a few whispered words an invisible servant takes the stein from him, fills it, and then returns it. With a nod from the dwarf, the hammer and chisel appear to rise on their own and work on the masterpiece commences.

"Perhaps we should spend some time heading back to the spire by tracking some deer, or..." he gestures out to the babbling stream... "catch some fish. Or, you know, we could just go back to the spire and find something evil both you and Agriver can feel good about killing." Yon says, and then grabs the wine skin, taking his turn at it.

After he is done thanking Lady Chanel and helps at the Temple of Silence in the morning. Agriver meets up with the group near the exit of Fort Inevetable.

Finally getting used to wearing the new ornate gauntlets he smiles inwardly before addressing the others.

"Greetings friends. It is a glorious day for the next leg of our journey and the goddess has seem fit to bless us with one of her relics this day" he says gesturing at his new gloves.

Before the others can comment on his new fancy clothes - he continues "Let us go in her name and purge the fiends and heritics shall we?"

After relaxing some with his brother, Robin makes his way to visit the Stonde family. He is greeted by the kinds with their usual enthusiasm, and they get even more excited when he lets them know he has gifts!

Robin pulls out a series of toys he had purchased in Daggermark, from a set of little tin soldiers for the boys, to a doll for Belka. These are received with a squeal, and the kids run off to play with their new toys.

For Ilyana, Robin has a leather bracelet inset with bloodstones. He offers it to her as a promise for when he chooses to settle down. He lets her know that he has grown attached to her little family, but that he does not think it fair to be anything more when the risk of his dying is so high.

Robin spends a total of 25gp on the gifts.

The party returns to the Spire in the early morning. Their journey is uneventful, and the path becoming worn with their multiple crossings of the forest.

Vala and Ansel find no hint of disturbing on their traps.

Descending beyond the shrine of the Awakener... Agriver leads the group into a small room at the bottom of the stairs.

Across this small chamber from the ascending staircase, another staircase winds down into darkness. Off to one side is a calm pool of murky water with a pedestal in its center. Atop the pedestal, a golden serpent idol grasps an emerald in its fangs.

Agriver stops for a moment... as he feels an odd sensation but resists the effects.

Vala only:
perc: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
You quickly realize that this room has a magical trap emanating within it... possibly emanating from the statue.
