Yep, your in the right spot. Good to see you again, Al.


The hills ringing Almas, capital of Andoran, slope gently toward the harbor cradling the Hornet’s Nest, the red sun rising behind them. This morning the ship’s activity rivals its namesake as Pathfinders and their agents bustle here and there inside the ship’s hastily constructed command post.

After a short wait, Venture-Captain Dennel Hamshanks rolls into the ship’s galley, his face scowling and dark eyes bloodshot. “You lot again? The Decemvirate promised better, but I suppose we have no time to waste. You have likely heard the rumors—which, unfortunately, underestimate our danger."

“The Society’s lodge in the former Cathedral of Aroden here has thrived of late—they say thanks to Venture-Captain Brackett’s grand parties, which seduce the weak-willed leaders of this so-called ‘democracy’ into permitting the Pathfinder Society unfettered access to the resources in the nation’s interior. Not likely you lot were ever invited, though. Needed to be of the presentable sort, after all."[/b] He says arrogantly.

“Last night, Brackett threw one of his most extravagant fetes yet to celebrate the recent return of a team of Pathfinders up near Falcon’s Hollow on a diplomatic mission to the region’s fey. Fillian over there claims that all the sparkling light made the Cathedral’s windows a stunning sight. Everyone was having a grand time until the trouble started. At the stroke of midnight, a dozen guests drew their swords and methodically massacred the others—poor, drunk fools. A moment later the lights went out. Fillian had been admiring the windows from the dome’s walkway and ran upward, to the belfry. Says he hid there until daylight and then crawled out to my ship here. He heard many others flee underground, followed by screams of agony." Shaking his head, he continues.

“Shortly before dawn, several bands of what looked to be hulking, cloaked hobgoblins left the Cathedral, taking off in different directions into the city. Not only do we need to retake our lodge and rescue any survivors, but whatever those monsters plan to do in Almas, it’s got something to do with the Cathedral. I imagine even you understand how that might look for the Society if something bad were to happen to the city at large, centered on our local headquarters."

“You can probably guess who’s behind this—the Shadow Lodge, source of endless trouble this past year. We need that Lodge back, and we need Brackett alive. Time is not on our side here, and I fear it may already be too late for whatever those monstrous brutes left the Cathedral to do. According to Fillian’s tale, the best way in is the belfry. So your job is to get in there, kick the Shadow Lodge out, and keep Brackett alive. And put a stop to whatever ongoing plot you manage to uncover."

“Good luck. You’ll need it.”

A scrawny looking, mussy headed blond elf, wearing a sweater and a scarf, looks up from the book he is taking notes in.

"Well, it sounds as though time is of the essence. Can this Fillian lead is in, or at least show us the way? Does anyone have documents or floor plans for the cathedral that I can study before we go?"

He takes out a small cloth and wipes his nose with it as he sniffs.

A man with blueish skin and flowing white hair is also here. He doesn't look old nor young, for his features aren't those of a human being, but of a sylph. He bears a rapier made of a strange metal at his side, and wears a leather armor of sorts, mostly hidden underneath loose clothing through which a soft breeze constantly flows.

Anàil listens carefully to what Hamshanks has to say, growing uneasy when he mentions the Shadow Lodge. "I agree, we have no time to waste. Anything you can tell us about Fillian? Or about why the Shadow Lodge would act like that?"

The young half elf looks rather apathetic towards the current situation, though covered by his heavy robes it is near impossible to tell.the symbol of nethys in his hands identifies him as a cleric of the god of magic.
He speaks with the tone and attitude fit of a grumpy old man, perhaps picked up from someone in his past.

Noticing Dairon's attire, Jaxal seems to have found something of interest.

"Are you a priest of Nethys? I am a follower as well, and am an avid student of all things magical. Perhaps we can discuss after this mission is over."

Dairon raises an eyebrow?
"you too are a followers of the god of magic? It seems the trip is fruitful already"


Hamshanks snorts, sounding surprisingly pig-like, and motions to a young boy sitting in the corner. The boy looks both ehausted and terrified. "That's Fillian there. I don't think he much up to leading anyone about, but I'm sure you could ask him some questions." The visibly gulps as attention is turned on him.

Turning to Garret, Hamshanks raises his eyebrows. "Son, we aren't sure of much anything. See what you can get out of the boy."

Owyn walks over to the boy and takes a knee in front of him, romoving his helmet as he does so. With a warm smile, he says "Hello, Fillian. My name is Owyn and I'm here to help. I was wondering if there's anything you could tell us about what you saw last night. It's ok if you need to think about it for a moment. Just tell us when you're ready."

Dairon waits for for the others to convince the lad to spit it out


The boy stays silent for a moment, then finally begins speaking in a near whisper. “After all the light, it seemed so dark—I couldn’t see much. There was a lot of noise at first. I think they were barricading the main entrance, and then it got real quiet once the invaders dragged the captives off upstairs, yelling in a coarse, monster language the entire time. All I heard after that was wind blowing all around the main chamber, and sometimes cackling—Master Telfyr’s homunculi, I’ll wager; they’re always laughing and jesting.”

WIS or Survival DC 15:
You recall that it was not windy last night.

Warming up a bit, he continues. "There’s lots of ways to approach without being seen from any of those narrow grimy windows. I’d scurry across the plaza from the northwest. It’s easy to climb up to the roof, and there’s a loose grate partway up the belfry—should be easy to slip inside there, even for big folks like yourselves.”

"Can you sketch out a layout of the cathedral? It would be good to know what areas might hold guards or such."


The boys looks a little uncertain, but shrugs, making a rough sketch of the catherdral. It shows a standard cathedral layout with a second story balcony ringing the nave.

Once finished with the boy, the heads out into the streets of Almas, making your way to the cathedral. From an alleyway, you see the Cathedral of Aroden is a massive stone structure overlooking central Almas. Two solid towers flanking a pair of enormous bronze doors dominate the facade. The doors, with their glittering bronze carvings of Aroden’s ascension to godhood, welcomed the faithful in times past, but they now lead into Telfyr’s massive library. Above the doors stands a roughly circular stained-glass window with delicate looping stonework, a style known as a rose window.

Following the boy's directions, you hustle across the open plaza and swing around the rear of the church. Using the cathedral's numerous carvings, you are able to easily scale the forty foot wall and access the roof.

A flat gray stone ledge runs along the edge of the cathedral’s roof, crisscrossed with rain gutters feeding the leering grotesques that ring the building. Toward the south side, the ledge surrounds a gently peaked roof above the long rectangular nave. Two solid towers jut upward at the south end, their severe stone sides broken only occasionally by narrow, barred stained glass windows.

At the north end a lofty dome covered with deep red copper shingles dominates the structure. The graceful edifice peaks in a twisting stone tower with a golden turret, from which the Pathfinder Society’s Glyph of the Open Road banner hangs limply in the still air. The tower has four large windows arranged vertically on each side, all protected by corroded iron grates. Through the grates hang several bells, ranging in size from large to gigantic.

From the it is easy to pick out the loose grate mentioned by the boy and use the other grates to climb up to it. The two lower bolts missing, the grate is easily swung out to allow entrance to the belfry.

"I overheard you talking about magic. Would one of you be so kind to use my wand on me?"

Jaxal: just ask Garret, he does not mind sharing his wand

Jaxal considers the wand for a moment before handing it back.

"You know, I am largely unprotected... do you mind if I use it on myself as well?"

Jaxal casts Mage Armor on himself and then hands it back to Garrett. "Thank you! Let me know when I can repay the favor."


While the party makes preparations, Garret slips unde the grate to scout a little. Moving into the belfry, he sees the belfry contains nine large bells hanging from a maze of wooden beams. Four relatively small bells hang from a beam at the tower’s top, with the others increasing in size toward the tower’s bottom. Weather and rust coat most of them, especially the seven-foot-wide behemoth of a bell at the tower’s base.

A complex network of scaffolding frames the bells, with each suspended from wooden sliders attached to a system of ropes and pulleys along the tower’s walls. These beams connect to scaffolding along the vertical chamber’s perimeter, allowing access to the bells above and a platform five feet below the giant bell’s bottom.

Garret sees that he is 10 feet above the base of the lowermost bell and a further 5 feet above the solid platform below. It appears the scaffolding can be used to carefully work your way down to the platform. Requiring a Climb check, that Garret would guess to be pretty easy.

"Keep the wand for now Jaxal, I can't activate it. As long as I get it back after this is solved I am happy."

Seeing no people or worse in the belfry Garret moves out again.

"No one there, let's enter. It is an easy climb down but I will also check above us."

When his fellow Pathfinders have entered he climbs up towards the bells, wanting to be sure that the big clock won't suddenly come down on them.

Take 10 climb: 10 + 6 = 16


Climbing up, Garret notices nothing alarming.

"i'll be on my guard"


Moving down the walkways, you find a trapdoor on the lower platform. The trap door on the belfry’s platform leads to a narrow wooden staircase descending the dome’s interior and opening onto the dome’s viewing gallery.

The Cathedral of Aroden’s former congregation hall fills an enormous, high-ceilinged open space, with the rectangular nave opening into a large circular chamber beneath the building’s grand dome.

Along the dome’s ceiling, a fresco depicts Aroden’s apotheosis and his famed battle with the wizard-king Tar Baphon on the Isle of Terror. Although intricate, the fresco’s crumbling perimeter and fading colors betray the lack of recent maintenance. A narrow wooden balcony, lined by a finely carved balustrade, encircles the dome’s base and the cathedral’s nave. The balusters depict men following several different professions, while fine calligraphy graces the top railing.

Forty feet below, an enormous altar—itself the size of a small building—stands stoutly below the dome’s apex. The cathedral’s nave stretches out to the south. Soft blue light streams into the enormous space through dozens of meticulously decorated stained-glass windows lining the nave. They illuminate trophies of all sorts—from weapons to wands—hung from the hall’s many columns.

Signs of last night’s gala and the massacre that interrupted it are obvious: freshly painted sunburst decorations, tables swathed in fine cloth covered with spoiled food, a portable stage standing empty but bloodstained, and corpses littering the floor below.
