As you gather the papers Nuk seems very interested and begins to sniff at some of the pages.
Elska's search of the bedroom finds little other than the journal on the dresser. It belongs to someone named Makino Tokaji, who apparently betrayed the Pathfinder Society after meeting up with someone called “the Spider”, and decided to join the Aspis Consortium out of spite after a group of Pathfinders “chased him into the blade of a murderous madman”. His journal also reveals that if the Pathfinders ever find him, Tseka plans to pretend to trade him away in exchange for leaving her in peace, but asserts that she would never actually let the Pathfinders take him.

"I recently adventured in a museum dedicated to this Numerian junk, these are bars of Glaucite a special adamantine-alloy, not much we can do it with right now though,"
Bo'll shrug at the group, not really sure what more they want.
Hmm, I guess I learnt something from my time in that hellish museum nightmare
As you move on, a long hallway opens to a large chamber whose walls are covered with maps, documents, notes and missives. Pins and daggers jut out of the maps in different spots. A raised stage takes up the southeast corner of the room. Four pillars support its lofty ceiling.
A pile of furniture is stacked against a door to the north barricading it from within. Eight torches in this room are lit, bathing the room in light. The room’s ceiling is 20 feet high.
A haughty ratfolk speaks from a raised stage in the southeast corner of the room. “Welcome, Pathfinders. I can’t say I’m glad to see you. Are you more of Colson Maldris’s lackeys, here on another one of his murderous missions? Everyone’s heard about what you did to Ascalar Vruul. I assure you, no one here has bothered to blackmail that lout with evidence of his many indiscretions. Perhaps instead you are here to pledge your services to a far more lucrative organization? After all, you have shown some skill in locating this place.” She laughs. “It only took you, what, three years?”
A studious looking human stands with his back to the wall nearby.

Bo'll step forward, surveying the room(for traps), palms open,
Perception to look for traps:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
"The powers that be have sent us to trade for information, we've brought a number of black market goods to trade," He'll motion for Nuk to come forward, "Despite the recent attack on our Grand Lodge, that might as well be a world away for what concerns us here, Amara Li is still willing to work with you,"

Bo will lead Nuk and the Chest of goods walking slowly forward toward Tseka, presenting the chest for her to see.
"Determine the worth of our items first, then we can talk about what information you might have to offer,"
Just want to make sure we are all on the same page here, we are supposed to neutralize her right? Also I moved Nuk, I hope that is okay, if its not, I just picked up the chest off him and brought that forward instead.

I'm going to change my action a bit, sorry for the misunderstanding, instead of Nuk, I walk forward with Miyako. Maybe I throw an arm around her or something. That is of course all If she wants to accompany me into this perilous position. Otherwise I just walk forward with the chest myself. I am quite excited for what is coming next!
The ratfolk looks nervous as Beauregard and Miyako approach with the chest, set it down and open it. The human fidgets noticeably. The ratfolk leans over slightly to review the items remaining, a pistol from Alkenstar, a piece of bawdy artwork depicting a Gokan celebrity, and jade unholy symbols of Fumeiyoshi, Lady Nanbyo, and Lamashtu.
I see. Interesting.
GM Roll:
Sense Motive v. Kelson:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Listening to Kelson's words. More too...hum, let's say I'm interested. What information could I offer you?
Let's say I know this information. It would be betraying my own, so it would be worth far more than this chest of goods, as appealing as these items are...if the rest of the organization learn of my betrayal, well.
The ratfolk looks as though it's perhaps conflicted. The man is looking disgusted.
Miyako puts a finger on her chin and pretends to think hard. "Hmm..."
She then tries to mimic the ratfolk's enthusiasm while saying, "We don't have that much gold on us right now, but it sure sounds like a great deal to me! If you give us the info, we will fetch the gold for you directly after!"
A secret hatch in the stage flies open and a ratfolk jumps out and attacks Miyako with a dagger.
Attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 damage:1d3 ⇒ 3
The blade catches the surprised Miyako.
While a second ratfolk breaks it stealthy cover and steps into a flank with the other ratfolk on Miyako, this one is armed with has a gleaming short sword.
Free action intimidate with Enforcer if either hits, shaken for rounds=damage:
intimidate on First Hit:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 Intimidate on Second Hit:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
I incorrectly said it was a swift action earlier, sorry about that, I was just trying to get my AoO out of the way so combat can continue moving forward!
"Which one of you is the real Tseka! You're comin' with us, the Pathfinder's don't mess around and ya better believe this is payback for hittin' the lodge!"
For the time being Miyako ignores the fact she's being flanked, trusting Bo has her covered. She draws her rapier and attacks the ratfolk she's flanking with Mido.
Giltman's hammer smacks the ratfolk orator's knee causing it discomfort.
Beauregard switches his attack to the ratfolk that popped out from under the stage. His first punch misses, but his second one, even while pulling it to deal non lethal damage, knocks the ratfolk straight out.
Miyako draws her rapier but the ratfolk nimbly dodges her parry. Nuk also miss his attacks.
The white ratfolk (flanked by Mido and Miyako) seems to pause a moment; allowing the other rat to shift position to again flank Miyako. The clearly shaken ratfolk clearly wants to create some distance from Beaurgard, as she steps over her sister ratfolk, who he just dropped.
She positions herself to avoid attacks, and then attacks Miyako with her dagger. Fighting defensively
Oops, I don't think it was clear. I am attacking the one that Mido also attacked. I am using my longspear, so Mido benefits from flanking with me. (Mido wasn't there when I attacked, so I didn't get flanking.)
