The Ghenett Manor Gauntlet

Ensconced in a private meeting room at the famous Farseer Tower in exotic Katapesh, Venture-Captain Wulessa Yuul wastes no time commencing her briefing.

"This has all the makings of a magnificent embarrassment," she begins sourly. "The Grand Lodge recently sent a delegation to the mansion house of Temel Passad in Kerse. Passad is an enormously wealthy devotee of the Prophecies of Kalistrade, and he happens to possess the only known copy of the Mutani Manual of Martial Mastery in the Inner Sea region. The delegates were tasked with obtaining this rare tome, by either purchasing or leasing it."

"By all accounts Passad is a difficult man, but the delegation proved... stupendously inadequate to the task. Not only did they fail to secure the manual, but they also managed to grossly insult the merchant. Two of the representatives were manhandled off the property and taunted by Passad that under no circumstances would he part with the Mutani Manual unless the Society could earn it, challenging us to take it from a hidden location among his many holdings throughout the region. The third delegate, who happens to be one of the foremost experts on all things Tian, was detained by Passad for what he termed ‘an extended conversation on the finer points of ambassadorial etiquette.’ He’s invoked an obscure Druman statute involving foreign embassies, making this kidnapping perfectly legal in his government’s eyes."

Yuul explains that the Mutani Manual holds information that is essential if the Pathfinder delegation is to prevail at the Ruby Phoenix Tournament in Goka later this year, and that naturally, Harmidio Besai must be rescued as well. The mission is complex. The Decemvirate do not know with certainty which of Passad’s many scattered holdings hosts the tome, nor where he has imprisoned Besai, nor whether tome and scholar are in the same place. But among the 12 estates investigators have identified as likely locations is one very near here, a mansion called Ghenett Manor. Wulessa’s contacts in the markets have talked of a lot of activity there of late, and she believes that this is the true hiding place of at least one of the two quarries. You are tasked with infiltrating Ghenett Manor, about 50 miles west of here.

Yuul continues, "Do as little damage to the property as possible—we’re not vandals, after all. Also, take nothing else of worth from the place. We’re not common thieves. I cannot stress this strongly enough. Given our already ample embarrassment with Passad, please don’t add to that dishonor by making off with the man’s silverware or his grandmother’s brooch, for Abadar’s bloody sake. No doubt the villa is a sumptuous and tempting target, but you must keep this in the forefront of your minds: The tome and the scholar are all that matter. Everything else is a distraction. The Decemvirate will take a special interest in your conduct on this assignment."

"Lastly, we have reason to believe that others are in pursuit of the Mutani Manual, including agents of the Aspis Consortium. Be wary! Under no circumstances can the book fall into the hands of a rival organization. Now, do you have any questions?"

From the back of the room a hulking and ugly half-orc steps forward, He's greenish skin marked with strange tattoos, (for those of you from Cheliax or familiar with devil worship you recgonise a few of these to represent demonic links.) and a Large Orge Hook strapped to his back make for an odd site for a pathfinder.

What is Mutani? and what so special bout book?

A young human woman with shoulder length black hair and blue eyes listens carefully to the briefing, occasionally feeding the raven on her shoulder a seed from a pouch in her lap. Once she finds the opportunity, she asks a series of questions, "How did the delegation offend this Passad in the first place? Do we know anything about his particular interests or if he has arcane or divine skills? Is there anything else relevant to know about Harmidio Besai?"

In stark contrast to the half-orc, a halfling speaks. "Beggin' your pardon, Venture-Captain, but some of us are 'common thieves', as it were." He smiles broadly, then, and continues, "...but I'm sure I will be able to refrain."

"Does that mean we may be going to confront Aspis agents, but we are not allowed to do any damage to the building? I hope some blood on the walls and carpet does not count." Elliot answers and waits for Ragnarok's and Rowanna's questions to be answered.


"The Mutani Manual, originally written in Tien, is an exhaustive compendium of eastern fighting styles and combat games," Yuul explains to Ragnorak. "It's supposed to be copiously illustrated and the cover bears an embossed representation of a Tian weapon known as a nunchaku— two rods of wood connected by a cord or chain."

Yuul gives Rowanna a pained look. "Let's just say that some inappropriate words have been exchanged... Harmidio Besai, as a source of knowledge regarding Tian Xia, has few equals within the Pathfinder Society this side of the Crown of the World. He began his Pathfinder career as an active agent, a wizard I believe, but soon found his true calling in pure scholarship. He is known to be a cantankerous man—certainly his inclusion in the delegation was an epic error. We have no reason to believe that he has been seriously harmed, but it's probable that Passad has made an effort to injure the man's dignity."

"I have no recollection of Passad possessing any kind of magic. He's a merchant and therefor interested in making profit whenever he can, but I know little more about his personal interest. He's mainly known for his extensive holdings throughout Avistan and Garund, as well as his prickly and mercurial personality."

The Venture-captain cracks a smile at the comments of Holman and Elliot. "Do what you have to do, but try to avoid what's unnecessary for the mission."

You say Passad Challenge us to take book? so then he know we coming? should we expect guards?

a large tusky grin expands across Ragnorak's face as he start to think about the thrills of combat.

Looks at Ragnorak and pats his back.

"Patience, my dear friend. Trouble will come to us in due time."

Smiles too.


"Passad sent us the following letter," Yuul says as she searches her desk and retrieves a sheet of paper.

Yuul scrapes her throat, then reads what's in the letter. "If you want to play the role of thugs, I’ll make it easy on you. The book will be hidden among my many holdings throughout the Inner Sea; you’ll have to locate it and survive my defenses to obtain your little prize. And you won’t be alone. I’ll send word to the world that this challenge has been put forth—the first to find it gets to keep it!"

She gives you a wry smile. "So, yeah... I expect 'defenses' to mean there are guards, traps, and more nasty things."

"HAHA" an thunderous sounds erupts from the large half orc "This sounds like fun!" as he goes to leave the briefing he mutters to himself "we'll see who brings the nasty things"

"Fun, indeed! And if something breaks we just blame the nasty things. But how do you know tht book is in Ghenett Manor? This Passad refers to many holdings in his letter." Elliot asks.

"My dearest friends, we better pay attention and play it by the book. We must not-" the human emphasizes the last word "wreak havoc, loot what we shouldn't and attack if unprovoked. Some of those trials may imply the use of brains instead of brute force."

The cleric tears his beard, full of whitehairs on his chin, red all over the place.

"I am sure the occasion of wielding your blades will present itself, we mustn't force it."

Looks sternly at Rag and Elliot.

"Please."

Elliot stares back at Bunk. "Who says I'm going to use my blades unprovoked? Only because I'm a dwarf with axes? Only because I'm not praying to whatever god? Fighters are not necessarily stupid brutes, you know, not all of them at least. And I will keep my fingers away from the shiny stuff, I promise."

"I doubt this will be fun, but it may be interesting." Rowanna offers after a moment, "In any event, I'm ready to go."


"We're not exactly sure, but it's rather close to this location and there's been increased activity as of late. So we're sending you there," Yuul tells Elliot.

Looks like most are ready to move on. If you still want to ask/say something to the VC, you can still do that retroactively in your next post.

Once ready, you leave the Venture-captain's office and head straight for Passad's manor.

Ghenett Manor:

The 5-foot-thick walls surrounding the villa and its grounds are 15 feet high and made of a polished gray stone with artful geometric etchings covering every inch of their surface, in the style of a Qadiran palace. The paving stones before and beyond the wide open, 20-foot-wide gates are uniformly octagonal and are speckled in shades of green, red, and gray. The gates themselves are 17 feet high, clearly fashioned by a gifted master of metalwork; had they color other than the black iron, one could easily mistake them for intertwined vines and sprightly fey creatures flitting through their foliage. A middle-aged man sits in a padded chair near the gates.

Ragnorak approaches the man in the chair. Pulling himself up to his full height in an attempt to tower over the man.

"You, man, We have accepted the challenge and are here for the book. you will open gate now!"

Ragnorak eyes both the man and Bunk impatiently, standing with his hands on his hips and tapping his foot slowly as if counting the seconds.

@Bunk: You sure can! :)
(Could you use [ooc][/ooc ] to make ooc comments blueish?)

The man, quite muscular and in his middling years, gets up as you approach him. A wide smile cracks on his face. "Good day, lads and lass!"

"My name's Gamaradin Po, nice to meet you! Just call me by my surname, and don't ask me why my parents gave me such a complicated name. Maybe to compensate for my short surname, I really have no idea!"

"Take a good look, the gate's already open," the man says to Ragnorak, pointing at the gate with a thumb.

He motions for you to follow him to the manor. "My master informed me you'd come. Please follow me for a little respite, before you begin your trials to find that precious book."

Ragnorak nods approvingly at Po as he follows him into the compound. He also flicks Bunk a quick smug smile, ignoring the fact that the gate was already open.

Rag will keep a wary vigilance on Po and the surroundings, something tells Rag that Po is or was a capable warrior and not to let his guard down around the man.

The paving stones continue past the gate, leading up to the villa’s great double doors. There is a turnaround for carriages and other forms of conveyance to the south. The doors are made of thick teak and carved with various scenes.

DC 15 Knowledge (Religion):
The scenes depicted show principles of the Prophecies of Kalistrade, a series of dream-records written by an eccentric mystic during the early days of the Age of Enthronement. They stress the benefits of a strict regimen of self-denial and promote the accumulation of wealth over all other pursuits. These teachings and predictions are followed as a pseudo-religion, most prominently in the nation of Druma. A follower of this philosophy is known as a kalistocrat or prophet, although the latter is a slang term.

The doors have no lock. The doors' iron wonderfully wrought iron handles mimic blooming roses. A pair of fat, gold door knockers hangs suspended from the mouths of djinn-like heads firmly affixed to each door.

DC 15 Appraise:
The value of the knockers is 275 gp apiece.

Po opens the doors and leads you into the manor's entry hall. This opulent hall was once a proudly appointed place, with detailed and realistic murals of a marketplace on the walls, carved mahogany benches, ancient statues of red stone—each bearing distinctly Tian features—and a pair of huge fur rugs assembled from the pelts of unusual and exotic animals. Clear signs of violence now mar the room: four of the benches are overturned and one to the southwest is charred, a statue has been reduced to rubble, and both rugs are torn and ragged as if hacked at with knives.

Holman whistles appreciatively. "Those knockers would fetch a tidy sum; near 275 gold pieces each, I'd reckon." He then proceeds to look around the room with an eye towards traps or other explanations for the disarray.

"The doors represent the principles of the Prophecies of Kalistrade. I believe we were already briefed that Passad was an adherent to that belief system." Rowanna murmurs to the others, before turning her attention to her raven, "Morrey, wait outside until I return. Remain inconspicuous."

The bird nods and replies, "Yes, Mistress." He then flies off onto the structure's roof.

Once inside the front doors, Rowanna looks around the entry hall and asks, "Po, what happened here?"


"Some unpleasantness," Po responds as he heads over to the double doors up north. "My wife and I haven't had a proper opportunity yet to tidy up. I do apologize."

Rag continues to follow closely behind Po. "Your wife here now?" as he looks around the room, "you two live here"?


"You're not the only people with interest in your item of pursuit," Po responds to Bunk, who senses nothing but politeness from Po.

Po nods at Ragnorak. "Master Passad only lives here a couple of days a year. My wife and I are in charge of keeping the manor tidy, and we're allowed to live here in return for that service. You will meet my wife shortly."

"If you'd please accompany me to the drawing room?" he says, and turns to open the double doors leading to the next room.

A rich green rug of Qadiran manufacture with dizzying geometric patterns filling its thick pile runs down the middle of this charming room. To the north and south are finely carved mahogany benches, before which sit exquisite tables hewn from the same wood. The stone walls are painted in subtly shifting shades of green, so that the color grows lighter the further up the surface it proceeds—clearly the work of an artisan of considerable talent.

A woman with long and wavy blond hair that reaches over her shoulders stands by with a platinum tray. You have to look twice to see she's just slightly younger than Po, for the years have been very kind on her. The tray holds a steaming porcelain teapot of delicate manufacture, a number of matching cups equal to members of the party, and linen napkins with the initials TP embroidered on them in fancy lettering.

"My wife, Domitilla," Po says.

Domitilla nods politely. "Nice to meet you. Please, take a seat."

Once you're all seated, Domitilla offers you a fine spiced tea. Po takes a few sips before he speaks again:

"I bid you welcome to Ghenett Manor. I have been instructed by my employer to extend this courtesy. I would ask that you make an effort to respect the property," he states, casting a quick frown in the direction of the room to the east. "I will answer what questions I can."

Rowanna takes a polite sip of her tea before asking, "Could you please explain the rules of the contest? I understand we are not to damage the property if it can be helped, but is any other activity restricted to us while we look for the book? Can you tell us where the book is?"


"The rules are simple, you just go and find the book," Po replies to Rowanna.

He takes another sip before he adds, "One would assume it would be in the library, with the other books, west of here. There's some security, but please understand that I can hardly be specific about that. I'm afraid some of it may prove lethal, but the master did ask that your retrieval of the book not be easy."

Ragnorak sniffs at the tea before downing the whole cup in a single gulp. He places the tea cup back awkwardly onto the saucer obviously trying to be careful not to break the cup in his large hands.

Holman doesn't discover anything worrisome from sniffing the tea, but Elliot notices a hint of nervosity from Domitilla when Bunk decides to not drink the tea.

"Let's just say it's never come to this," Po answers Ragnorak.

Po smiles at Holman and says, "The layout of the villa is but a single story, built around a central atrium. The main entryway is to the east and the banquet hall directly to the west, along with guest rooms, the master’s suite and such."

"I'll inform you the guest rooms are currently vacant. I was instructed to house a certain person you may be interested in where his endless expertise would be most appreciated."

"And where is this person being housed now?"

Ragnorak eyes Po, unsure what to make of the man, and growing a bit tired of the banter, however he is eager to learn the location of the missing pathfinder if possible.

"He is housed where his endless expertise would be most appreciated. I can say no more."

Rowanna and Ragnorak begin to feel a bit woozy. All of a sudden, they collapse into a slumber.

"Fear not," Po tells those who are still awake. "They will wake in but half an hour. My master asks me to tell you that he looks forward to reading about their heroic nap in the next edition of the Pathfinder Chronicles."

Po then gets up and walks to the door leading to the messy room you came from. "I'm heading back to the gate, to greet anyone else who wants to take the challenge. Good luck, Pathfinders."

Domitilla nods politely, then takes her leave by passing through the double doors to the west. Before the doors close again, you catch a glimpse of a long table in the room to the west.

Bunk waves the couple away, in a mix of awe and rage. As soon as they are out...

"Motherf... Sneaky rat. So much for the master, the vallet and his wife.

Maybe they wanted us unconscious to slit our throats and steal our purses.

What did we do to wake his fury?"

Wow indeed. Since that adventure I never eat or drink unless I am paying for it. You can't trust people, can you?
