Quinn stops and points out the trap, trying to discern through a cantrip whether it is a magical or mundane trap (Detect Magic). "Reiko, I forget, are you skilled in disabling devices any?"

I believe the chest has been put back, with its contents as it's not the book we're looking for.

I am going to assume, for the sake of brevity you send wreck in triggering the trap, I need FORT saves from everyone. In the wine cellar there is a man that is blindfolded, gagged, and tied to a wooden chair. He is garbed in a fine silk kimono of a decidedly feminine cut, patterned with lilies. The man is bald pate is fringed with disheveled brown hair. He is slight of build, and sports an odd mustache. He is naked but for the kimono.

Aww I thought we backed far enough away. Ah well.Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Lini, Iconic Druid |
Lini is still in small air elemental form wielding a cure moderate wand and hovers above Quinn with perfect flight maneuverability (grants darvision 60' too). She also looks into the room and casts Detect Magic beforehand.
Perception DC 33
Spellcraft DC 26
Do these actions yield any additional information in the room with the gagged man once the gas dissipates?

Lini nothing hear is magical save for the trap.
The man's gag is removed, You addled brained buffons, your inability to disarm even the simplest of traps. It took you long enough to reach me from Absalom did you have to make many stops along the way or was I just the last of your concern. Well stop staring and untie me.

"Calm yourself. We are here and came directly as we were sent. If you would like to place a complaint about the lack of expediency, take it up with the Venture Officers. We are but humble servants and court jesters."
Wreck |
Wreck was a bit ticked off
"Wreck fight and almost died. And you get angry at Wreck. Show some smiling face and be glad Wreck and Wrecks friends help man"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

I am going to assume that is an attempt to make friendly via intimidate.
Yes, yes. Your Half-Ork friend is quite right. Apologies. I am Harmido Besai. Have you secured the Mutani Manual?
Assuming you tell him and there is nothing else to take care of I will wrap up the scenario. Take care of any last minute things you want or need to.

The PCs should have no trouble hitching a ride with an
eastbound caravan on its way to Katapesh after securing
both the Mutani Manual and cantankerous scholar. If
they encounter the caretakers (assuming they didn’t
come to blows earlier in the adventure), Po congratulates
them and tells them, cryptically, that his master will be
very pleased.
The Pathfinders are closely questioned during their
debriefing to ascertain whether they took any forbidden
items from Ghenett Manor (note that items related to
faction missions are excluded). If they admit their guilt
and hand over the items, they are sternly reprimanded,
but are still awarded 1 PP provided they have met the
rest of the success conditions.
The PCs receive no gratitude from Besai, who
has nothing but petty and caustic criticism for the
Pathfinders’ skills and conduct no matter how delicately
they treated him. Yuul, however, reveals to the PCs that
an “unnamed benefactor” had offered a reward for Besai’s
safe return. This benefactor was none other than Temel
Passad, though even Venture-Captain Yuul isn’t aware
of this; similarly, the Aspis Consortium doesn’t know
that Passad was the anonymous client that hired them
to steal the book from his manor. What strange game
the Kalistocrat is playing is beyond the scope of this
adventure.

Quinn is suddenly glad we didn't take anything else from the house.
"Truly there are more things going on behind the curtain than we mere agents can know. Perhaps I was more accurate in calling us "court jesters" than I originally thought."
