Your latest orders have sent you to Vellumis, the largest city and most important port in the crusader nation of Lastwall, on the shores of Lake Encarthan. The waterfront and city center boast impressive architecture, with many buildings marble- clad, domed, and colonnaded in the once-popular Chelish Old White style, characterized by whitewashed walls, ornately decorated eaves, and massive arched windows.

Though there are an exceptionally large number of soldiers, most wearing Iomedaean iconography, roaming the streets, most are civilians. Flags of a dozen nations, and churches of at least as many faiths, can be seen as you navigate the city streets, leaving the elegant city center and heading into a seedier neighborhood that greatly resembles the dockside areas of Absalom.

When you arrive at the address you were provided, you discover a busy gambling hall. Raucous conversation fills the room, as men and women gather around a number of tables, playing various card and dice games.

Hanging onto the padded handles of his saddle, a small, heavily tattooed wayang peers about. Verna'th, his "assistant" seemed to be lost, which had the summoner sigh. Tapping on her shoulder, he points towards the gambling hall. "I believe our meeting is there. Keep your wings closed, as from the looks of it, I don't think you would be welcomed warmly here," he whispered in her ear.

Adjusting the straps on her "backpack", a tall woman with skin of a reddish hue walks through the town. All the different people were different than what she was used to in the River Kingdoms and Absalom, and was slightly confused as where she was going until her master pointed her in the r8ght direction.

You see a halfling dressed in mithral shirt and carrying a silver elven curve blade, elven branch spear, and composite longbow. He has on a elegently made costume that is black with green accents. He also has peculiar ears for a halfling, pointy and almost elven looking, but it's hard to tell as his face is covered up with a mask that also goes over the ears. You can tell he has some kneepads underneath the costume.

"Wow, that wasn't a long journey to my next assignment. I just spent a long time in Arwyll Stead, a small town in Lastwall. You might even say I'm famous there by now." Got Renown in that town. :p

"The Tumbler's my name. The Tumbler tumbles is what I always say." He stretches his legs some in anticipation of some acrobatic feats.

Upon seeing Verna'th, The Tumbler is taken aback and reaches for his appropriately sized elven curve blade, not quite drawing it out. "Egads! Please tell me you're not a devil of some sort. I've had just about enough of those from Arwyll Stead. Downright infested with them, it is. In fact, it's the whole reason I decided to make my blade silver." He never seems truly at ease with Verna'th around.

"Also reminds me too much of Cheliax, and" The Tumbler grunts in disgust, "My hometown of Westcrown."

Taken aback by The Tumbler's response to her look, Verna'th shakers her head vehemently, "No, I'm not one of those. Though master here would like me to be." She smiles a toothy grin before kneeling on the ground. Now closer, the woman is wearing finely made traveling clothes, yet no armor. "I hope we don't go back to the starfall again. It was scary!"

"Ah, Westcrown! It's been years since I've been there, learning how be a proper barrister," came a voice from behind the tall woman. A bit of shuffling about came from the woman's backpack, before a small robed figure hopped out. Dressed in violet and crimson robes, stood a small wayang, covered in tattoos and piercings. Under the robes, flashed the telltale sheen of a chain shirt, and at his side a small Mace and a pouch. Around his neck, a pendant of Asmodeus hung. "Believe me, she is no devil, unless I ask. The name is Qualif, and hers is Verna'th. I am here to make sure this venture stays proper in the books, as to make sure the society doesn't look bad."

The Tumbler seems more at ease with Verna'th and now less at ease with Qualif. "I'm not fond of my hometown, even though my parents live there and I sometimes visit. I haven't been in a while, though..."

"Cheliax is no place for a free halfling."

"You are correct. Though, I have heard things from Kintargo. Something about ravens and whatnot, but going about it without any legality is an issue," the wayang sighs. Noticing the apprehensive look, he smiles and raises his hands. "Asmodeus is quite fine with running things legally, especially though contract. Unlike him, I try to not twist the terms, and keep everything legal, and precise."

A tall, slender man adjusts his spectacles before adjusting his haversack. He is well-dressed and speaks in a slightly stuffy tone.

"Well, I can't say I know too much about the goings-on in Cheliax. After a jaunt through the Hold of Belzken to locate a dwarven Sky Citadel, I've been back in Absalom. Had to sort out some things at the Blakros Museum. Quite the time, I must say. It is nice to be abroad again."

"Those things sound better than my last few weeks. Helping a village fight off a blue dragon. That boy was big and mean, all right. Thankfully the gods were shining down on us with their favor, and we all succeeded at ending it and walking away in one piece," pipes up the pretty aasimar, who snuck up on the gathered group.

Had some time...I'll jump in now.

Taliesin Staccato walks up to the other Pathfinders. She is late, yet elegantly explains her tardiness.

She is impeccably well-maintained and clean. Beautiful beyond description, she wears a new, form-fitting mithral shirt and carries a mithral buckler carved in a flower motif. A flowing banner hangs from a finely-crafted longspear she holds nonchalantly.

She smiles, and it is like the lighting of a torch.

"We are about to embark on a courageous mission, fellow Pathfinders! We shall discover the villainous ne’er-do-wells, punish most justly the perpetrators of evil, and finally return home with valor to receive the cheer and adulation of all!"

As she finishes speaking, she unfurls a banner of the Pathfinder Society, then curtsies with a flourish.

"I haven't been on a mission in a while...I'm feeling a bit rusty, to be honest," she says.

Loud and raucous conversation filters through the door from the common room of the Uscalin Lodge, which doubles as the Ace of Dreams gambling house. You mingle around the room for a bit until you notice a man call you over to him. “I know it’s here. I had it just a moment ago.” Venture-Captain Shevar Besnik lifts piles of papers and numerous boxes off of his desk, stacking them on various side tables and chairs in his clean but overly cluttered office. The tall, Varisian man’s face parts in a toothy grin as he lifts up a solid oak box. “Found it!”
As if to punctuate his discovery, a crowd of players in the gambling hall erupts in cheers. Distracted for a moment, Besnik stares at the closed office door that leads to the common room. “Desna laughs. Well, she laughs at me, but she smiles on them.” The venture captain shrugs. “All they have is gold; what I have in here is far more valuable.” Besnik opens the box’s lid painstakingly slowly, careful to keep the contents out of sight. With reverence, he lifts a large tome from the box and gently sets it on the table.
“Careful, the binding hasn’t held up well. This is one of the few Tomes of Righteous Repose left in the world. I’m pretty sure there’s one in the library of the Sancta Iomedaea in Vigil, but I’m...well, let’s just say I’m no longer welcome there. That’s a story for another time. Up until today, I’ve only skimmed the pages. I didn’t want to damage it, but now that you’re here, I can’t wait any longer. Care to plumb the depths of this most ancient and wonderful storybook? Oh, the marvelous adventures we will soon read! This tome is a collection of tales describing how various crusaders died gloriously and honorably. I’m hoping to find some clues in the text that will lead us to an as-of-yet undiscovered site or relic. Maybe we can trade a bit of what we find with the Knights of Ozem and earn ourselves some goodwill. After what happened last time, we need it. Care to peruse the pages with me?”

you may ask questions as you like; will post Knowledge checks in a bit- lots of text

"Stories! I like stories! Like the one about the princess in the tower of ice, and the other one about, umm, the dunk man who became a god! Is it like those?" Verna'th asks, a giddiness in her eyes and a tremble in her wings, which almost unfurl indoors.

The venture captain looks at Reesa and says. “Well, early crusaders had amazing adventures fighting the Whispering Tyrant, orcs, and a whole host of other threats, but they don’t have very many records that aren’t as dry as an Iomedaean’s hip-flask. This tome gives us important insights into the crusaders’ adventures. Rellakarabee Fustbickle, the gnome author, interviewed dozens of crusaders and wrote about the most heroic and tragic deaths in this book. It wasn’t very widely published, so it’s been difficult to get my hands on it. The poetry is a bit purple, too. Not really my style—but perhaps it’s something you’d be able to interpret? Is that adventurous enough for you?” He then shakes his head at the remarks from the others in proximity unsure if they are mocking him and his eccentricity.
“Well, it’s a bit delicate; no telling how long the pages will last. I wanted to make sure we had multiple sets of eyes on it in case it gets damaged.”

Taliesin smiles and sidles up behind the others to look at the book.

"I love tales of adventure!" she says. "This should be fun! I have heard of this book."

Guilford coughs very quietly then speaks:

"It has been my experience that so-called "dry" histories at least lay the facts of the past bare. Popular stories make it more difficult to discern truth from embellishment. I suppose it is a good thing, then, that I am here. I would be glad to lend my scholarly expertise."

A raucous in the tavern draws the Venture Captain away from your group. "I'll be back. I just need to see what the fuss is about. Talk amongst yourselves for a bit."

info below refers to the author and Lastwall

DC 15 Diplomacy (gather information), Linguistics, or Knowledge (Local):

Rellakarabee Fustbickle was a gnome poet, today known mostly among literary scholars. His subject matter revolves around heroic figures and tragic deaths. His style is too melodramatic to gain significant acclaim, though he is popular in some circles.

DC 20 Diplomacy (gather information), Linguistics, or Knowledge (Local):

Fustbickle based his poems on true stories from the Shining Crusade. However, the finer details are ambiguous at best. Rumors suggest he was on speaking terms with the mortal Iomedae.

DC 10 Knowledge (History or Religion):

Lastwall was established in 3828 AR, when it seceded from Taldor. It is a benevolent military dictatorship, primary focused on keeping the Whispering Tyrant locked away and the orc hordes of Belkzen at bay.

DC 15 Knowledge (History or Religion):

Lastwall originated from the remnants of crusaders living in the area after the conclusion of the Shining Crusade, the great war against the evil wizard-king Tar-Baphon (also known as the Whispering Tyrant, who rose after his death as a lich).

DC 20 Knowledge (History or Religion):

Lately, Lastwall has had to recruit less pious individuals to fill its ranks. On the borders, followers of Gorum and Kurgess are more common than paladins of Iomedae and Sarenrae.

Diplomacy 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Reesa asked around and was able to come up with just a bit of information about the author. "The gnome was a bit of a poet. Lot of heroes, and a lot of tragic deaths. He was quite melodramatic, so he never received huge acclaim. He used stories from the Shining Crusad as the basis for most of his works. More importantly, rumor has it that he actually knew Iomedae. Not sure if it's true or not, but that's what I've heard."

Taliesin smiles at the others.

"I was born pretty and smart, she winks. "I know all kinds of stuff both about Fustbickle and Lastwall." The bard goes on to tell what she knows about both, in detail.

While Besnik is out you all discuss what you know of the eccentric author and of Lastall. As you puruse the book you come across a curious poem...Player Handout linked at top of page The poem is damaged a bit from smeared ink that is so old and tough not even mending or make whole can repair.

You all take a turn to read it

Besnik returns and sees you all hovering over the poem. He scratches his chin and then says to you reassuringly "We may not be able to read every word of this poem, but what we can read is more than enough to tell us that we need to investigate this site. What is clear to me is that the poem references some sort of protection against the Whispering Tyrant. The Knights of Ozem have always been secretive about the many and varied ways they keep that old lich locked away in Gallowspire, even among themselves. It’s possible that they have no idea this particular protection exists. Whatever Gydular is, it must be important.”

KNOWLEDGE Arcana, History, Religion

10+:
: Virlych is a desolate, mountainous county of Ustalav where nothing natural lives. The weather is punishing and the ground rocky. Travelers do sometimes pass through the accursed land, though.

15+:
: Gallowspire is the Whispering Tyrant’s former fortress. When the Knights of Ozem imprisoned him there in 3827 ar, it marked the end of the Shining Crusade. They placed numerous secret wards and protections over his prison so that he could never escape.

20+:
: The forces of Lastwall no longer have a direct presence there, having been expelled by cultists and the unholy presence of the Whispering Tyrant, even in dormancy.

KNOWLEDGE HISTORY, LOCAL OR RELIGION

15+:
: To keep the Whispering Tyrant locked away, the Shining Crusade implemented a layered defense. Even if one line of defenses fails, there are several others keeping his immortal powers at bay.

20+:
: The Knights of Ozem have compartmentalized knowledge of the locks on Tar-Baphon’s magical prison. This removes the threat of any one Knight becoming compromised and allowing an enemy to gain knowledge of all the prison’s safeguards.

25+:
Compartmentalized protection comes at a cost; if secrets are not passed down, then future generations will not know how to keep the lich imprisoned. Multiple layers of protection have been lost during the centuries following the Shining Crusade.

KNOWLEDGE GEOGRAPHY, SURVIVAL OR PROFESSION MAPMAKER

DC22:

A thorough analysis of the poem reveals the following information, which is sufficient to pinpoint the location. Gydular’s Point was once a famous peak in the Hungry Mountains, as the view if provided of the surrounding area was both majestic and militarily strategic. In 4187 AR, a powerful earthquake crumbled the peak, leaving massive
slabs of jagged rock that locals renamed the Greyshards.

"While I may not have the looks of our fair companion, I am knowledgeable in these subjects."

Take 10 on Knowledge Religion for a 25. I can do Arcana at 24 if you require different skills for 1 and 2. If this works, I'll also ask that each person read the appropriate spoilers.

The short wayang looks at the group, fingers tapping at the table as he pipes up. "It seems that the area has nothing natural growing in it and is quite bitter concerning the weather, enough so that most travelers avoid the lands altoghether. Gallowspire was the Whispering Tyrant's former fortress, which was besieged at the end of the Shining Crusade, ending in the entrapment of the master, and protective warding as to keep him from escaping." Pleased with himself, Qualif sets back into his immensly cushioned chair.

As Guilford tells you what he remembers of Lastwall, the Knights of Ozem and of the Whispering Tyrant you all come across a significant piece of art next to the poem in the Tome of Righteous Repose. The piece depicts three samurai in a Minkai art style. Venture- Captain Besnik reacts strongly to this piece.

The Venture-Captain jolts upright. “Minkai art! Let’s see, the Minkai Empire was founded in 3619, and the empire’s first explorers didn’t reach the west coast of the continent until at least 3691 ar, which leaves only sixty years before the beginning of the Shining Crusade itself. These women could have been among the first Minkai citizens to reach the Inner Sea! Let’s see, what secrets does the poem on this page tell us about the location?”

just need to find the location to travel to. Does someone have geography, survival or mapmaking skills to make the check?

Qualif, being the resourceful wayang that he is, could see if there are any cartographer in town. Never be afraid to throw money at adventure!

Taliesin smiles, her reservoir of obscure knowledge being very deep.

"Though Verna'th may find this incredibly boring, I eat it for breakfast. A thorough analysis of the poem reveals that Gydular’s Point was once a famous peak in the Hungry Mountains, as the view it provided of the surrounding area was both majestic and militarily strategic. In 4187 AR, a powerful earthquake crumbled the peak, leaving massive slabs of jagged rock that locals renamed the Greyshards. I believe we can pinpoint the location!"

"Glad to be among such knowledgeable people." Despite saying this, The Tumbler looks rather bored.

all spoilers found- go ahead and read up, and location discovered.

"You all must depart at once." Besnik says and starts rummaging around his office..."Here.. take this... and this... and this too.." he says shoving the items into your hands.

he gives you a Travelers any-tool, a wand of Cure Moderate Wounds (5 charges) and a Wand of Protection from Evil (7 charges), six flasks of holy water, one scroll of lesser restoration, two potions of lesser
restoration and one soul stimulant

"Go...go...find it and come back and report!"

unless you have any more questions he shoos you out the door

Reesa grabs a vial of holy water and a potion of lesser restoration. "These are for anyone's use, obviously. Might as well each of us be prepared for whatever's out there."

"I might be able to use the wand. But it's better for a priest. Should we be off"

Taliesin holds her hand out. "I can take the wand. I'll probably be toward the back, anyway," she says.

"Is everyone ready to do this?" she asks cheerfully.

The journey takes 7 days as the group adjusts to each others movement habits. Halfway through your trek, you pass by the closest major settlement, the fortress of Hammer Rock on the border of Lastwall. Spending the night near the fortress you are disturbed with some eerie sounds coming from the area but nothing disturbs you.

As you travel through the lifeless Hungry Mountains in Virlych toward your destination, a drizzle transforms into an ever more aggressive snowstorm, as if the weather itself were keeping you away, and strange whispers fill the air. As a small consolation, the tedious climb is shallow enough that you are not exposed to the dangers of altitude sickness. Eventually, you all find a toppled obelisk on a peak marking the entrance to the underground fortress. A staircase descends 30 feet into the mountainside.

feel free to discuss any team tactics as you begin your descent. I acknowledge holiday activities will supersede posting and it should. I will stop posting this Friday night until the 26th, and spotty afterwards until the 1st, since I will have my children for the holidays.

Before the journey

"If you don't mind, I'd like to hold one of the Potions of Lesser Restoration." The Tumbler looks around. "In this party, it looks like I will be towards the front. A position I'm comfortable with, for the record."

"I'll take one of the flasks of Holy Water too. I'm quite adept at throwing things." If people don't want them, he'll take what's remaining of them.

After the journey

The Tumbler arches his back, stretching it. "That was a loooooong journey. I'm ready for some excitement!"

"Since Pathfinder missions always involve inevitable conflict, especially in delving situations like this, I will talk briefly about my abilities. I usually stand up front or near the front and try to set up flanking positions for others. I'm quite adept at slipping between the legs of the opponents to the other side before they even knew what happened."

Guilford will take the wand of protection from evil, if that's OK. At least it's on his spell list!

"Those are impressive talents to have, sir. My own agility can't match yours, I'm sure, but I have more than a few magical tricks up my sleeve. I can both hasten and strengthen my allies for combat. I'm also decent at countering another mage's spells, though I'd like to be better at it. Let me show you my spellbook and I invite you to let me know where I can be of assistance."

If you're interested, please follow the link to Guilford's profile and look at his spellbook. I usually keep a variety of useful things prepped, but if we need a bit more focus, I can leave slots open or double up on spells that would help the party best. I can also afford to scribe and copy a coupel of 2nd or 3rd level spells if you kinow of any you'd like to have ready. Gil is meant to be a support mage, but he's also the first wizard I've played in any form of D&D or its derivatives.
