Please accept my condolences and sympathies.
Ren: are you ok if other PCs do the talking? (assuming your week will be busy as you said)
All: normally, when this module is played face to face, this is a timed event where the players have 5min or less with each NPC. To simulate that in PbP, you all have until Tue night (tomorrow night, Eastern time) to make your posts. At 11:59 PM Tue night, I will move the game to the next part of this adventure. Use this time wisely! ;)
GLORIANA MORILLA : all your characters have heard of her, even those without Knowledge Nobility - she is the leader of the Sovereign Court faction of the Pathfinder Society and she is at home in the complex political landscape of Taldor. You only see the back of her now as she's talking to someone that looks smaller than her right now...
DOMINICUS RELL knowledge nobility req'd - he looks serious and very important
FATHER BASRI you met him before in this adventure - you recovered the Aroden relics for his church from the ratfolk... he smiles at you all and looks happy to see you all!
INKA HELDOTOR she doesn't look like a noble; wears armor with weapons at her belt; looks bored and out of place here
CAPTAIN SEFERI looks like a pirate; inappropriately dressed for the occasion; often looks at the Princess awkwardly
SOLMON MENANDER knowledge nobility req'd - looks slightly annoyed to be there... not many people talking to him
THEON CENABRI his last name indicate he's from House Cenabri; you haven't met him yet because he wasn't there when you brought back the owl and his ancestor's remains to his mansion...

Jotting down some of the evidence we have.

CONCLUSION - QUEST 1
Although the tree had many fine things to say about Honaria, its testimony alone would not be enough to pass muster in the courts of Oppara. However, the broken equipment of her enemies adds weight to the story, particularly because the unit it belonged to was disbanded for treason.
We found: A quick dig reveals several split helms and broken swords, each bearing the fox insignia of a unit in the ancient Taldan army.

CONCLUSION - QUEST 2
Now that you’ve defeated the ratfolk, you find a shiny bust in the boss’ backpack. Its allies carry the other stolen relics, which include a set of embossed bronze offering bowls, a string of prayer beads made of silver, and a collection of holy symbols of Aroden from different regions of Golarion.

CONCLUSION - QUEST 3
You all convince Glory to present evidence supporting Remaio’s claim to nobility, but the sword reserves the right to change its decision after she meets the man. Some of you understand that Glory still cares deeply about Honaria Alcasti. Glory graces you all with an account of how, after defeating an enemy battalion in the Conquest, Honaria turned opponents to her cause by treating her prisoners with dignity. The blade believes that Taldor only lost the war because insufficient resources prevented Honaria from implementing her masterful tactics.
---
CONCLUSION - QUEST 4
The records found in Vereena’s house provide detailed information about Honaria’s leadership, depicting her as a skillful leader with a brilliant command of tactics, and also reference her repeated inability to receive sufficient resources during some of her campaigns.

CONCLUSION - QUEST 5
Amantius's speech and Wand from its body.:
"S-S-Syagra was one of Honaria's followers. After Honaria died in public ignominy, S-S-Syagra cast the blame on my mistress, Italice Cenabri, w-w-w-which was a prominent adviser to the crown. In truth, many factors led to Honaria's disgrace, but Italice served as a convenient scapegoat for Syagra’s rage and sorrow. I failed to notice Syagra's growing rage thus I failed my m-m-m-mistress...
After years of preparations, S-S-Syagra carried out her plan to assassinate Italice, fleeing from justice and escaping into the wilderness. Again I was out and not by my mistress' side when this happened... I am an extremely bad familiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar...
Syagra eventually made her way here where the Alcasti family had given Honaria a hero’s burial in the family tomb. In her single-minded devotion, Syagra broke into the tomb, planning to leave Italice’s head as an offering to Honaria’s memory.
Ironically, in her attempts to honor her friend, Syagra was forced to smash apart the tomb guardians and vandalize most of the magical wards, a-a-a-as you have witnessed in coming here.
However, as she was about to leave this place I caught up with her and attempted to stop her and reason with her, great hero me... She struck me down and left me as another twisted offering to Honaria’s memory.
First I blamed Honaria for Italice’s death but centuries of reflection in her tomb have changed my opinion. Despite my bitterness and despair,
I must admit that Honaria was innocent in all this, and I do not believe any of this to be something she would have wanted.
Now, will you do the honorable and please arrange for Italice’s remains to be returned to her family?"
Please find the chronicles and verify that all the player information is accurate. I had a great time GMing you all throughout this amazing scenario! Enjoy Outpost!
Regards,
GM PDK
