"Well, it is unusual, ain't it? Not too many people study revolutionary philosophy, and he asked for the essays of Alysande Benedict and Jarl Dubannich, which is something milady was asking about just days before her disappearance."

"What we ask for is actually in the best interest of all of us. I'm not sure how much you have heard, but things are not going well up in Mendev and should they fail to hold the demon hordes back. Well it would make things over in Cheliax look like a walk in the park. I'm not sure how much influence you have with the Andoran military, but I simply am asking that you do what you can to send aid to Mendev, nothing more. Is that agree able to you my good man?"
"Influence, I have. But I am not convinced that the risk is worth the reward, to be quite frank. You show me something that can change my mind, it may be enough to secure the help you seek. Find me again when you think you have something."
In game terms, the Diplomacy check here is rather high, and so you will need some circumstance bonuses in order to get you past the finish line.

"We shall do our best." Hinkle says as he excuses himself to find where his fellow Pathfinders have wandered off to. "Well I did my best to secure military aid for Medev, but the best I could do was just keep the door open for now." He looks over at Ēoswulf, "so what have you found out?"

"Thank you ma'am. I hope the girl is alright. Is there anything else you could tell me about her?"

Ēoswulf rejoins the party. "The housekeeper told me of a strange coincidence. A man with a Galtan accent, new in town, purchased some very specific and rarely-requested books that the lady Thalia had been asking about shortly before she disappeared."
check the spoilers and presume he relays all the information

unless anyone has an idea of how to track down this Galtan man (perhaps the book store?) I think our next destination is us being led to the burnt-out house that probably matches the divination. Hopefully.

"Interesting. If this Galtan man is involved then we should find him at the burned out building." Hinkle says as he thinks out loud. "This almost seems to easy."
This barren stretch of land is a sharp contrast to the surrounding fields of well-tended grapevines. At the center of the waste, at the end of an ill-kept path, sits a large stone villa in the old Chelish style that has partially collapsed as the result of fires long-since extinguished. Rotted timbers and soot flank scorched bone-white walls, and collapsed piles of blackened wood are all that remain of additions to the north and south ends of the main hall. Rain-slicked bare earth extends approximately three hundred feet away from the house in all directions.
Will do so since the party is fine with it.
Stealth like Darkwing Duck, complete with cloak 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Looking for trouble with Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Fillia approaches cautiously not knowing what really to expect, bow in hand with arrow nocked.
As you approach, you notice a large sinkhole is forming just in front of the house. A voice calls out “Come and get her if you dare, hounds of the upper class!”
Fillia feels insulted.
"Hound of the Upper Class? I'll have you know I'm a fine tracker and no hound! Besides who is this her and why would I want to get her?" also in a bid to let the others know she's being spotted and could do with some assitance.
Maximos scores a hit as Dunbar terrifies the man. Fillia misses her target. Hinkle, of course, is quite pleased with his magic, but the man behind the door distinctly less so.
Blue shoots an arrow at Dunbar, but his nervousness keeps him from shooting straight.
Green takes a shot at Fillia, but either this is the first time he has held a bow, or his fingers are greasy from dinner. The arrow barely leaves the bow, falling to the ground.

Ēoswulf makes a break for the archer on the right side of the building. "Fillia, the doorway!" He shouts as he runs, then lets out a mighty battle-cry.
Crunch:
Notes: (None)
Round 1 action: charge at green, activate rage during charge
She drops into a crouch, nocks and sprints all in a single movement, her feet barely grazing the soft ground as she spins to a stop and lets loose a shaft at her target.
Target Red. Add +2 for to hit and damage favored enemy (Human) if applicable.1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d8 ⇒ 2
Sorry - I don't know why, but I lost track of this game on my campaigns list and had to go searching for it.
The team moves forward, doing quite a bit of damage. Fillia, even though she is battling humans, still doesn't hit her target due to the cover provided by the door.
Round 2(bold may act) Eoswulf
Round 3(bold may act) Fillia, Dunbar, Maximos, Hinkle
Red (cover), Yellow(cover, 8 dmg), Blue (17 dmg, unconscious), Green (9 dmg)
Fillia nocks another arrow and continues engaging with the ones in cover.
Bow with favored enemy +2 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d8 ⇒ 2 <--- This looks to be a trend for all my games.

"I think that one has had enough Dunbar," Hinkle shouts as the dwarf swings his axe at the unconscious man in front of him. "Could definitely use some help here at the doors," the gnome adds before firing a ray of green energy at the front doors.
Ēoswulf smashes green with his armor spikes, knocking the wind out of him. He drops his weapon and holds his hands up to surrender. (Disabled at 0hp)
Fillia 50% Miss Chance:1d100 ⇒ 17
Fillia aims at a man behind the door, and puts an arrow in the door.
Maximos 50% Miss Chance:1d100 ⇒ 73
Maximos gets lucky, though, and hits yellow soundly. He drops his bow and shouts "That's it - I'm out!"
Dunbar misses, but is almost in the door. Seeing his companions surrendering left and right, though, he is no longer interested in fighting. "OK! You win - we give up!"

Dunbar will remove their weapons and begin to hobble the men, searching them for any exploitable intelligence.
"Why are ye attackin' us? Who are ye workin' for?"
