The stink of a burned out building clings to the air even now. Dakaars handywork was effective. The smoke, soot, and dust cover the 1st floor. You find assorted damaged tools of a clothier's trade and a badly burned tower shield bearing the symbol of Cheliax covers the opening into the tunnels below. The second floor is where Dakaar encountered the gambling teiflings the first night the party came here.
If there is nothing else in this building, then all you have left is the wood carvers house.
This door is finely made and built of a rich red-brown wood. Carved onto the surface is a nearly full-size picture of a man holding a piece of wood in one hand and a carving tool in the
other; the end of the piece of wood is starting to resemble the front part of a horse. Also cut into the door is a young child looking up eagerly at the emerging horse the man is carving.
I try to door.
After this is done or in conjunction i would like to try to get aya and Arael to use:
Make Whole: Repairs an object.
on the out buildings to get them in to bet condition... I assume the burnt building make whole will help but it may also need some more construction work.

This 15 by 1ndoubtedly leads back into the catacombs below. the second floor has a table, a chair, and a large bed with a wooden headboard carved to depict a 5 building has two floors, both of which show signs of recent habitation. The ground floor as two wooden tables and some chairs. In the pantry a hole in the floor is covered with loose boards. The opening leads to a set of stairs which uspring scene.

Dakaar gets you into the shop from a side entrance. The back room is in complete disarray. A place where equipments once must have stood is overturned. The stock that would have lined the shelves is missing. The chemicals and reagents that would have served as raw materials gone or spilled across the floor. A curtained doorway likely leads to the main room. and a narrow staircase leads up.

You look around the back room for a bit. The thing that you notice most is that will all the damage there doesn't seem to be any damaged equipment. It is almost as if the equipment has been moved and the broken and spilled components were an accident while someone was hastily gathering things up. In the front room you take a quick look around to make sure it is safe. This room was clearly where most of the business was done. There are numerous shelves lining the walls. A wooden and glass case lies overturned and broken on the floor. An additional set of shelves along the back wall have fallen down. Searching through the debris you find nothing of value but do notice signs of burning, both fire and acid. There is a hard resinous substance that might be the remains of a tangle foot bag. You also notice what looks like flecks of skin and flesh near a particularly acid marred section of floor. Noticeably absent is any kind of cash box.
Does it seem like the flecks of flesh could be someones remains or just from an injury?

It is hard to say. If the flesh are the remains, then a lot of "something" must have been used to destroy the body, either that or it was moved.
You open the door at the top of the stairs, pausing to check for signs of life. Hearing only silence, you open the door into a small kitchen. A large circular table sits in the middle of the room with a few simple chairs set around it. A stone fireplace sits cold in one corner of the room. This room is remarkably undisturbed compared to the lower level. An upturned stool and a few broken jars fallen from a panty by the wall. A door hangs open leading to another room.
I will then make a perception check for anything threatening in the next room

As you go to move into the next room you notice cards littered across the floor of what you now know is the bedroom. There doesn't appear to be anyone around and the room looks as if someone was packing in a hurry. There is a dark red squiggling stain on the linens. As you look at the cards you see they are part of a harrow deck (the Golarian equivalent of a Tarot deck). The whole deck is not there, only some of the cards. You find the following cards on the floor.
- The Uprising
- The fiend
- The cyclone
- The Rabbit Prince
- The Crows
- The Tangled Briar
- The Waxworks
- The Vision
- The Snakebite
- The Carnival
- The courtesan
- The Liar
Dakaar examines the acid and tries determine the likelyhood of what went down here.

It looks like someone went to down with a bunch of minor alchemical items, Alchemists Fire, Liquid Ice, Acid, and even a tanglefoot bag or two. Someone appears to have been exposed to the substances. Assessing the remaining alchemical goods there really isn't enough to make it worth the effort of gathering up whats left off the floor and putting whats usable into a container.
Do the cards looked to be laid out in a meaningful configuration. If so i will draw a picture and mark it (i will do this either way actually). I will then gather the cards.
I will go to the a shop that uses these things and explain the situation (minus breaking in) and see if i can get any information.
I will then start going shop to shop who we are returning the goods to and try to negotiate our deal.
Previous to this i tried to talk to Arael about my town guard idea what did think?

You don't know much a about harrowings but you know they arn't super common. You're also pretty sure that they arn't laid out in a specific pattern, they look more like they were scattered (52 pickup style), but the whole deck isn't there so there may be some kind of message here.
Previous to this i tried to talk to Arael about my town guard idea what did think?
You have brought Areal around to the idea. He thinks the others need a bit more training from the more experienced members. Perhaps some training and a few night patrols?
I will ask the people in the surrounding buildings if they heard a scuffle or know anything about the alchemist or if anyone strange was visiting the alchemist.

No one really remembers hearing a commotion, but the alchemist used to keep late hours in his shop. They are also accustomed to strange noises and smells coming from his area. Most people didn't give him much thought after dark what with the curfew and all.
I try to see if i can make out anything from the harrow deck. Either with a book or from my knowledge. I am not sure on what knowledge i need but ... Knowledge role
I also try to gather information to see if i can find an Harrow card expert to find out what those cards may mean if not as a whole at least indivually...

Harrow reading is a bit esoteric even for you. You do however find out about an old varisian woman living in the Ruins District.
** spoiler omitted **
Alright i will seek out the old varisian women. What do i know about varisians in general: Knowledge
I will seek out information on what houses might have such records (or lots of records in general) for some cloak and dagger work later... gather information Maybe an older family...

Varisians come from a continent far to the north. Cheliax colonized the continent before the fall of Aroden. Native varisians are considered an untrustworthy lot. Mostly regarded as little better then homeless vagrants. They are essentially gypsies. wondering the world in search of new sights an new songs.
You find a building that was once brightly colored, but now the paint has begun to fad and peel. It slouches against its neighbors giving the distinct impression that if the others where not there is would have long crashed to the ground. A stylized butterfly is scratched into the door.

There are several families from that time period, but if any have kept any record of others they dealt with during the time, they have kept the secret closely guarded.
I knock on the varisian women's door.
After or before probably not while doing this ... i gather information to see if there were any varsians who visited the alcehmist lately or visited him frequently... gather information
A day or two after all this business with the shop keepers. You awake in the temple one morning. Your mentor Janessa gently open the door to your cloister. "You have a visitor Aya."
I knock on the varisian women's door.

Me: I knock on the varisian women's door... the one who is a Harrow reader.. or if it is a business i go in. If i know and she answers i will explain i would like some information about harrow reading ... and if invited in enter.

You knock and the door creeps open. Stepping inside you see a simple sitting room lit by some natural light and numerous candles. The air is thick with incense. Near the back a curtained doorway leads to a smaller room where a wiry older man sits at a rough wooden table. He turns slightly but does not look in your direction. "What brings you to my home?"
Does he look verisian?
I replied, "I would like a harrow reading."
Does he look verisian?
I replied, "I would like a harrow reading."
Yes he does
Come and sit. He takes a small bundle from under the table. You notice a small wooden bowl on the table.
I will sit and put 2 silver in the bowl.
I will sit and put 2 silver in the bowl.
The man unfolds the bundle. It is only now that you notice his eyes are clouded over. He takes his cards from the cloth and fans them one the table. What question would you ask the cards? Ask and draw out one card so you're role in all will be clarified.
