I'm here. With the local con going on this week-end, I haven't found much time to post. Next week (until friday) won't be better thanks to work but after that I'll be good. Sorry about that.

Segray signs calmly the book with her full name and then proceeds to follow the others silently, listening with attention to what the curator says.

"Lady Cincia, I assure you we will do what is right by history and the people, " Threndalil reassures the curator. His expression then adopts a mindful curiosity, "Lady, what do you know of one Count Orlundo Zespire?"

Cincia doesn't seem particularly comforted by Remmy's words.

Remmy, please give me a Bluff or Diplomacy check - your choice.

She replies to the elf's question: "Do you mean 'The Iron Gar'? Count Zespire has lands northwest of Ridonport in the Verduran Forest. I know that he ships his goods through Ridonport, but apart from that, I don't know much of the man save for his military reputation earned in the River Kingdoms."

Segray forwns when she hears the turn that the conversation between Cincia and Remmy takes. She distinctly clears her throat.

"My Lady Cincia. I do not know what my... companion here intends to say. I may only speak for my intentions. I will not allow the use of violence if it isn't self-defense."

"This said, and if I understand well what you say, we have three leads to investigate: Lady Tantriano to access the files, Rasvelg and Patrician Neffery Adimare for any evidence on the Earl's misdeed. Am I correct?" she asks.

Kita is more than happy to allow the more learned members of the team flesh out the details.

He takes a position near the door and attempts to pay attention.

Cincia responds positively to Segray. "Yes, that is quite right. Magistrate Tantriano would also be the person who could help you build a case against the earl depending on what you found. At the least, I hope you can make him respect the authority and significance of this historical collection."

Kita suddenly recalls something that was said in passing earlier.

"This magical helm that was taken... Are you aware of its properties? Have any other of the items taken been magical in nature?"

"It provided some form of a divine blessing as provided by Aroden to those who wore it. I confess that I was not able to determine what specific dweomer it carried. None of the other items taken were magical - most were ancient weapons from the Knights of Ozem order."

"So many items from the Knights of Ozem. Are you aware of any special connections he might have with that order? Other than the connection to Iomedae."

Chelk clears his throat. "Well, I'm not much good going through dusty archives, but I wouldn't mind having a chinwag with this shipwright chappie and the other chap you mentioned. Bound to be a few stories going round the lower decks about this Earl if he's been up to no good. Might give us an idea of what to look for in the paperwork, what?"

Cincia chuckles at Chelk's insinuations of the earl trying to marry the princess, then gives a start and a quick giggle. "Oh Gods, I hope he isn't trying to do that!" She seems genuinely amused by the thought.

Chelk, please give me a Diplomacy check.

Cincia peers up at Kita standing by the door. "That's quite an interesting take - I'm assuming your question refers to the earl and his connection or overt interest in the Knights of Ozem, because, as you're most likely aware, General Arnisant commanded the Knights of Ozem during the Shining Crusade, amongst other forces..." Her eyes focus off into nothing, the stereotyped look of a scholar deep in thought on her face.

Kita, please give me a Knowledge Nobility or History check.

Well done.

Cincia's eyes snap back into focus after she ponders Kita's suggestion. She turns to the samurai. "I don't think that the earl has any specific interest in the Knights of Ozem apart from their connection to General Arnisant's legacy, but your perceptive question was quite astute. Pathfinder Kyuichi, I'd like you to have this," and she produces a slender, pale yellow wand from a satchel on her side.

"I doubt you'll encounter much truly evil incantations in your quest to right historical wrongs, but the ability to erase magical curses inflicted by the wrong sorts of artefacts could be helpful, as you've been to me with your suggestions, noble warrior. This wand can do just that."

Kita accepts the gift with a bow.

"You honor me too greatly. My only concern was the nature of weaponry that might be brought against us.

I shall make sure that someone capable of using this gift will utilize it wisely."

Anyone capable of casting Remove Curse?

Yes, Segray can do that.

Segray nods as she sees the samurai handling the affair perfectly. She bows as well to thanks the lady.

"That is quite a present. We'll put it to good use." she says.

Turning towards the door, she says "I think it might be a good moment to go. We should linger too much, fellow pathfinders."

The elf nods, slowly rises to his feet, and walks over to the curator. "I look forward to our next meeting my lady, and the grand news I will bring," he says with a little bow. Raising back up, he turns to leave but gives Cincia a charming wink before he does.

After asking around for the archives from a few afternoon wanderers around town, you're directed to the Ridonport courthouse. Upon entry to the main hall of enquiries, you all spy a stately older human lady in a ceremonial half-cloak standing and signing a few separate ledgers borne to her by two clerks. Her half-cloak is held over her right shoulder by a large clasp depicting a longsword pointing downward.

Profession Barrister DC 5; Knowledge Local DC 10:
The half-cloak denotes her status as a judge.

Knowledge Religion DC 10:
The clasp is a symbol of Iomedae.

Remmy decides that this might be a good time to shut up and let the pretty people do the talking. He pulls his hood a little further down and stands behind Kita, trying to make himself less conspicuous... which, considering he looks like the boogeyman from a children's book, does not really help much in making him look less like a problem.

Uzziah, you'll need to choose either Diplomacy or Bluff as the skill that you'd like to use, as it plays into the roleplaying outcomes of this scenario.

The magistrate carefully regards your group slowly after smiling courteously at Kita's words. "Yes, well, I don't think the Inheritor's reputation can take much more criticism. Perhaps we should speak in my chambers. You may file those," she instructs the two clerks who rush off at her words. "Come this way please, Master Narethain and Company. My name is Joleana Tantriano; I am one of the magistrates for Tandak Prefecture." She heads off at a brisk pace.

Sense Motive DC 10:
Her comment about the Inheritor's reputation was sarcastic.

Sense Motive DC 15:
You think that arguments referencing specific legal knowledge or touching upon Iomedae's deeds would be best suited to influencing the magistrate. Furthermore, she may be impressed by sharp and poignant humor, though doing so could be difficult.

She leads you into a spacious office filled with leather chairs and settees. A painting of Iomedae smiting a skeletal figure dominates the wall behind a cluttered desk the top of which you cannot see due to the amount of paperwork piled upon it. She sits at her desk and motions for you to take a seat as well.

Once you're settled, she begins: "So, Master Narethain, please make use of your 'moments'."

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Kita bows his head to Uzziah and steps forward. He gets a feeling that the Magistrate did not warm to his initial comments, but isn't sure what different approach to take, so he decides to just lay out the facts as he knows them and hope that someone else can fill in further details.

"Your Honor, we apologize for taking up your valuable time, but certain troubling claims have come to our attention.

While touring your wonderful museum, we had a conversation with the curator. She is quite perplexed by some recent additions the Earl Vernisant has made to the exhibits.

One particular exhibit involves an updated line of genealogy that claims the Earl is directly descended from a union between General Arnisant and Iomedae herself.

The curator knows of no other source where such a remarkable claim has been made. I find claims that the General and Iomedae could have started a family while leading multiple armies during the Shining Crusade to be incredulous.

I am no historian, but some of my friends are familiar with research. With your permission, we would like to access the registry of birth records to provide clarity to these claims."

The magistrate steeples her fingers under her chin as she listens to Kita's information.

"A familial connection to the Inheritor....that would be something to crow about, to be sure," she says with a twinkle in her eye. "Tell me, good Sir Kyuichi, is it true that religion is fully suppressed within the Imperial Lung Wa Successor State of Po Li?" Once her question receives an answer, she abruptly stands up. "We should be able to cross-check Earl Vernisant's claim in the official genealogy records of Ridonport - it's a good thing they're here, or you'd be sunk! I think we should be able to allow a guest perusal."

Kita, please give me a Knowledge History or Nobility check

Kita attempts to give a brief synopsis of religious life in Po Li.

"Po Li does have an official state religion, your Honor, but it is not repressive like Razmiran."

At least, if it is, I screwed up my history due to not having any Tian Xia player companions

"We have our official ceremonies, and pay respect while we await the return of the Eternal Emperor, by my core faith is to Abadar. Throughout Golarion, it seems that most people pay homage to a large array of deities while keeping special regard for one in particular. Such statements may not sit well with the Oracular Council, but then I am not running for public office."

Magistrate Tantriano seems pleased by Kita's answer and leads the group from her chambers down into the archives of the courthouse. She speaks a few quiet words to the librarian on duty, motioning to your group as she does so. Once finished, she comes back to Kita and company.

"The archives are yours for perusal; I've even secured you a key to the private records. If it were me, then I would check there first for the genealogical information you seek. I would simply ask that you come to see me as soon as you confirm our suspicions, and please do be discrete about speaking of things aloud: there are ears everywhere, and I have to take into account not just the hard evidence, but its effects on Ridonport’s long-term stability. I'll be in my chambers."

With that, she leaves you to it.

Taking 10 adds a negligible 5min to this check. Taking 20 adds an hour. The Sense Motive check from before, Mercutio, is relevant so long as you’re talking to the magistrate.

Seems like Mercutio found the info in the shortest time possible. Doubtful anyone is a librarian, though I haven't looked through people's sheets. Do we need to keep rolling?

Grand Lodge

The Mountain's Maw |

Quite correct, Kita.

After about 2 hours of searching and cross-referencing through Orlock's Peerage, Mercutio produces the appropriate document indicating, quite clearly, that Vernisant is a direct descendant of General Arnisant. Additionally, Mercutio confirms that there’s no official record supporting Vernisant’s relation to Iomedae in any way.

It is now early afternoon.

"Well done, Mercutio.

So, he is a descendant, though I am not sure why he thinks that gives him license to plunder history. Is that a peculiarity of Taldan nobles?

We can refute the claim of descent from Iomedae, though I don't think that, by itself, is enough to alter the current state of affairs."

Kita looks around to see if the better educated members of the group see something that he doesn't.

"I suppose it is time to report to the Magistrate and then check out the situation at the docks. It looks like finding a connection to the piracy is our best lead at the moment."
