Very carefully try to get the coin... of course :P
Yelek moves near the skeleton and slowly and steadily tries to get the coin without disturbing the bones...

Noting that Yelek is going for the coin, and knowing that the Pharasmin priestess will be a problem if she spots that, Esmeralda goes to talk with her, in hopes of distracting her away from Yelek's actions.
Not sure what you'd want me to roll for that.

Sorry about not posting this weekend. I had an opportunity to go out of town and had no internet access. Esme we can just say that you get her to look away. Also if anyone casts detect magic, the coin is magic.

Hrm...
Detect magic...

That is a pathfinder coin. Its a way that original members of the society would send messages to each other. If you place it in a wayfinder you can see the message.

Anyain have a wayfinder?" Terros asks, his own still being inscribed.

"Yessss... the one I got after confirmation..." hisses Yelek offering his wayfinder to Brother Max

Esmeralda finishes 'chatting' with the Phrasmin, and with a glance at the others, she adds loud enough for the others to get the hint, "I think we're done here, Priestess. Would you like for us to assist in sealing this up again before we leave?"

Terros offers to put the coin into the wayfinder, in case it contains a message.
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
Working together you manage to replace the cover and she closes the tomb with a touch. When you place the coin in the wayfinder the message reads, The path and chamber are complete, hidden behind the nameplate of the requested aspirant and guarded by the word you requested. Fimbrik will add more.
The only thing that makes any sort of sense is the word, "aspirant". An uncommon word, in Absalom it most often refers to those who aspire to the Test of the Starstone - in other words, people who wish to become gods. Only three aspirants have ever succeeded (Iomedae, Norberger, and Cayden Caillean), but there are hundreds of failed aspirants, who are memorialized in the Shrine of the Failed, a temple near the Starstone Cathedral.
Where too now?

"Assspirant? Who might this be? Maybe we ssshould go to the cathedral of the ssstarstone... They might have sssome information there" hisses Yelek

"Yelek, I think you could be on to something there. But we did say we wanted to talk with this Fimbrik character, and perhaps he can shed some light for us?"
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
Remember this is all from like 400 years ago. Most everyone mentioned is probably dead.

"Unless he's an elf, talking to this Fimbrik will likely be similar to talking to Arkath. Is he also interred here?" Ellie shrugs.
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
"No one by that name no." The priestess says.

Thank you for letting us see the tomb. Nuo bows.

"Dead end." Ellie shrugs. "Uh, no pun intended," she tacks on with a smirk. She glances at Nuo, Esme, Yelek, Terros, and Max in turn, seeing if anyone reacts. "Hall of the Aspirants, then?"
Female CN Human(Varisian) Warpriest of Calistria 4 | HP:11/31 | AC: 18( 11Tch, 17 Fl) | CMB: +5, CMD: 16 | F: +6, R: +2, W: +6(+7 vs. Charm/Compulsion) | Init: +1 | Perc: +2, SM: +8 | Speed 20ft | Spells 1st: 4/4 2nd:2/2 |Blessings 2/5| Fervor: 3/4|Active conditions:
As she leads the group away from the cemetery, Esmeralda shakes her head. "No, if the message is accurate, we need to know which aspirant in the Shrine of the Failed to search around, as well as a password. Though, I'm betting that Fimbrik had the password, since the message said he'd add more. Maybe if we search the mad gnome's place, we'll find out more from his papers or something. And our mysterious Eylysia also left some sort of clue at the Wall of Names at the Lodge. We should check that out too. "

"Sssemssss like a good plan. The gnome it isss then" says Yelek following Esmeralda
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
You head to the home. As you ask around you find out that the gnome is in fact still alive and the Arcanamirium allows the gnome a sizable residence on its campus in Absalom’s Wise Quarter. When you get to his house you notice stacks of newspapers—roughly 2 years’ worth of monthly copies—are piled around the door and crammed into a thin slot at its base. Each rounded corner of the building has a large window, allowing creatures to look into the structure without difficulty. Also the door is locked.
What do you do?

"Well, he may not be expecting us, but I think he will see us."
Max goes up to the front door and knocks.
Dwarf Kineticist 2 | HP 28/28 | AC 16; Tch 13; FF 16 | F +9; R +6; W +1 | CMB+0; CMD 13 | Speed 20 ft | Init +5 | Kinetic Blade: +4 (1d6+6) | Perc +8
Terros nods, and despite his limited interaction with other races, thinks knocking is what he also would have done.

Nuo waits patiently. It's not polite to start casting spells at someone's doorstep.
That's sure a lot of newspapers.
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
You wait a few minutes but there is no answer.
Female CG Juggler 3 | HP: 18/18 | AC: 18 (14 Tch, 14 Fl) | CMB: +3, CMD: 17 | F: +1, R: +7, W: +3 | Init: +4 | Perc: +6, SM: +4 | Speed 30ft | Performance(4/10) Used | 1st-Lvl Spells (0/4) Used | Active conditions: None
"Let's see if there's a key," Ellie remarks, looking for a brick or a large rock or anything else she can break a window with. Or, maybe even a key.

I could unlock it from the inside if there's a latch there.
He'll go through the door and check real quick. If so, he'll unlock it and open it. Otherwise, he'll come back.
Oh, spiritualist's phantoms...

"Consssidering the amount of newssspapers here I think the gnome may not be among the living anymore..." considers Yelek.
Female CN Human(Varisian) Warpriest of Calistria 4 | HP:11/31 | AC: 18( 11Tch, 17 Fl) | CMB: +5, CMD: 16 | F: +6, R: +2, W: +6(+7 vs. Charm/Compulsion) | Init: +1 | Perc: +2, SM: +8 | Speed 20ft | Spells 1st: 4/4 2nd:2/2 |Blessings 2/5| Fervor: 3/4|Active conditions:
Esmeralda watchs at Qiang lets himself in, and whistles. "Well, that's one way to ignore locks. Qiang, can you look around for papers or problems? "
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
It doesnt say theres a latch but we will assume there is because logic and rule of cool.
A large sofa sits awkwardly near the entrance, facing toward the center of the room. Sets of chairs and tables are arranged throughout, and statues of grandiose gnomes occupy the corners of the room. A set of stairs at the northern edge of the chamber leads to an unused basement filled with stacked newspapers. A second set of stairs leads up to an unfinished second floor.
Perception or survival checks please.

While examining the room you note that despite the lack of dust on many surfaces, no one has been here for years. The carpet and sofa show virtually no wear.

"Doesn't have much of a 'lived in' look to it, huh?" Ellie quips. "Well, either way, there's a message here, we think. Let's see if we can't uncover it."
Ellie begins searching for clues. (Will take 20 if there's no rush.)
"You guys see anything out of order?"

"So we are just walking in then, are we?"
Max looks around the outside to see if anyone is noticing.

"No one'sss been here in yearsss" comments Yelek while scanning the room.
"Sssstrange there's no dust though"

"Well, this guy's a wizard of some sort, right?" Esmeralda finally adds. "It wouldn't surprise me if he has some cleaning cantrips set up. Let's just find the paperwork that has the password on it, and just bugger out." And with that, she goes to look in the first door on the right.

Agreed, Esmeralda. I don't really like breaking and entering, even if the person is long gone.
Nuo follows Esmeralda to the door.
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
I hope everyone had a great fourth and now back to the action!
You enter the room and spread out. Around the room, small black globes appear hanging in mid-air about a foot off the ground and expand to about two feet in diameter. The interior of the globe appears black, but is dotted with stars in unfamiliar patterns. From within each globe a multi-legged insect with glowing red eyes pulls itself free of the globe and lands on the floor, mandibles clacking!
