Nothing to see here. I think you're crazy if you're going to adventure with those on the outside.
And I was just kidding. I'm male. Even we can't tell each other apart. Used to drink cactus shots with a tengu fertility councilor. This was half of his day.
So you can't conceive? You've been trying?
Both tengu say "every night"
Have you tried it with the female on top?
Tengu 1 says "always"
Tengu 2 says "Never"

Heh.
But back to the topic at hand.
You don't have to wait for Maldris's seal of approval to go after slavers. You just have to get in and out before the guards show up.
I'm more of a sea borne gal when it comes to sending slavers to the boneyard. Funny, I always ran from the gray sails before and now I find myself working with them. Life sure is cruel some times. Let's just hope they still don't sail near Ilizmagorti.

THUNDERLIPS! AGREE WITH SHOT GLASS SIZED HALFLING! TUNDERNOTTER NEEDS NEW FACES TO SLAP AGAINST! NEED NEW HEADS TO BUST! NEED NEW BACKS TO BREAK!
MALDRIS WILL SING SONGS OF GLORY IN THUNDERLIPS!'S NAME!
THUNDERLIPS! gets more agitated. Soon, his eyes glaze over his long hair stands on its own accord, and otherwordly forms take shape around him.
THUNDERLIPS! picks up the nearest keg, punches off the tap, and proceeds tolift the vessel over his head. Surprisingly, he drinks more than he spills. what he doesn't drink, the ghostly creatures do. He throws the now empty keg through the wall into Skyreach's courtyard.
LET'S SEE CAYDENITE MOUTH-BREATHER MAXIMOMMY DO THAT!
LET'S GO KICK SOME ASS!

HAR! CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
G'Darm think Lumberhips need to calm down. Have some of G'Darm's turkey.
The massive half-orc pulls a turkey drumstick out of his pack and offers it. His brow furrows for a moment, as if he is trying to remember something.
G'Darm sorry! G'Darm forget manners. G'Darm have plenty of turkey for everybody!
A truly mind-blowing quantity of turkey is produced for all to share.

Ooh, bag turkey.
Mariah helps herself to a leg.
I've just always assumed killing slavers was kind of a standing order.
Wellllll... it is and it isn't.
It is, in that you get a free beer and a mark on the board for every slaver you kill.
Points to a chalkboard with several names written on it. Each name has a few tally marks beneath it.
It isn't, in the, uh, legal sense. According to the courts, killing slavers is still "murder" since they're technically "people."

I prefer a quiet flight of stirges (20 or so) sent in around midnight to send the foes to their merry rest. No muss, No fuss, No fingerprints very little blood to clean up afterwards as well.

Ah, but my friend, there is no glory involved in killing your opponent silently with stirges. How is one supposed to brag about killing an opponent in honorable combat if one uses bugs? In that same vein, have I told you about the time I single handedly slew a robot? I won much glory that day, Cayden would be proud.
Break into a long wided story that is obviously partly made up in order to make me seem the hero, take a long drought of ale from my mug,and then start singing rather loudly and off key a song in honor of Cayden Cailean.

"It's not about honor or glory. It's about getting the job done of protecting innocent people from evil. It doesn't matter who gets the credit, or if nobody does, as long as the evil's gone once the battle's over."
"Which isn't to say that I don't appreciate a good story. I'm a storyteller myself, and I frequently use stories of past Pathfinders' adventures to inspire my allies in battle. But there's as much good done in defeating evil quietly as there is in defeating it in front of an audience - as long as it gets defeated."

You take all the glory and the accompanying legal ramifications from the local constabulary. Slavery is tragically legal in many nations of Golarion, murder in most cases is not. My only hesitation is someday I'll have to step up and take the fall for one of my actual deeds, rather than some poor sap that gets sent to the gallows by mistake.
Until then, I'll be quiet. Get the job done and move onto the next job.

Maybe we oughtn'to keep the name board out in the meeting room. I know they're chelaxians but even then we don't want to make it TOO easy for them.
Wei sits up a bit from the inexpensive ale he's been nursing.
"This would probably be a wise suggestion. Perhaps we should take down the dart boards while we're at it, too?
A careful, measured path gets one to the end of a journey much more efficiently than a random charge. Given the magnitude of the task ahead of us, we should always consider the ripples of the stones we throw."
Having put in his two coppers, he sits back a bit and continues to sip, watching for any sort of reaction to his comment.

Ooh! G'Darm like throwing stones. Fun splashy noises! Wei Ji have stones to throw? Where biggest fountain for throwing?

"That is a very good question. Given that I'm new to this adventuring experience, perhaps you might know where one is, or perhaps a nice wide river for the skipping of stones?"

I agree, slavers should be dealt with quietly. Its a dirty job to take car of such beast, and dirty things should not be made public. So I will just keep my face out of it and continue to take them out from a distance with a little bit of freedom, which happens to at fly 400+ feet per second

WOW WOW WOW, MATE!
I'm down with killin' bloody chain rattle's as much as the nex' guy, but death itself is a form of prison. We can't kill 'em all, mate, we just gotta go be'ind their backs and cut their slaves free. Late', we take a bunch of their money, so they can't buy any mo'e.
Moreove', our biggest mission righ' now is to illegalize slavery in Absalom. Once we do that, we can use Absalom as yet anothe' base fo' our freedom fightin'. WHO'S WITH ME?!?

"The danger in such reasoning is rather simple. If one discovered that individuals that were opposed to the stance a loved one held had murdered and/or otherwise horrifically inconvenienced said loved one, then instead of eliminating one threat you create many more. I'm not that much of a talker, but we need a carefully balanced approach to this, and a bit wiser than 'kill 'em all, let the gods sort 'em out' or 'Shove them somewhere else so they aren't our problem'. Kicking this down the path doesn't help anyone in the long run. And engaging in murder sprees only hurts our cause locally. Who's going to trust someone who holds to the idea of killing everyone who may have ever been related to the ownership of another thinking being? Where does it end?"

It ends when no being is held in servitude to another.
I'm really not worried about reaching that goal before I reach my end.
"Would you put a death mark on a thousand people to free one person? I'd love to see all the slavers burn, and all their twisted gains from the practice. But... life isn't that simple and we have to look at the long haul. I'd really like to accomplish liberty for all in my lifetime. A bit ambitious? Prob'ly. But we have to balance it out and act with wisdom and intelligence and a bit of cunning. Otherwise, we're dooming folks to horrific ends with no hope of rescuing them."

"That's the balance, right there. Finding a way to educate people, and inspire them to learn. Once the urge to learn is lit in a mind, it never really goes out. There's always another question, always another lesson. Now, who's on for the next round?"
