”Like I’ve already stated , I cannot help you in anyway.”Tercio says with an angry look.
You convince Sander Bryton to send a force of Eagle Knights to assist the Mendev effort.
Diplomacy(Gather info) Knowledge local
Sander Bryton is a consul, one of the elected officials responsible for directing Andorans military.
Although the consul General Reginald Cormoth is the head of the Eagle Knights, Sander Bryton often assists the general directly in Eagle Knights action and policy.
The Bryton family—all successful military leaders going back four generations—has been prominent ever since the People’s Revolt. At no time has the elected national government not included a Bryton.
Immediately after Tercio Andares joined the People’s Council, Sander Bryton mysteriously reversed his position on an important trade agreement, clearing the way for the Andares family’s Sauerton Red wine to become the household name it is today throughout the Inner Sea region.

Obo sighs slightly at Tercio's stubbornness. As you wish, but for the sake of your daughter we will try and find her
Leaving the foolish noble Obo murmurs a quiet spell () before turning to the eagle knight and saying, As you must know our efforts to hold back the forces of the worldwound need more support. With the Eagle Knights with us surely others would rally around our combined banner. These demons represent a serious threat to the freedom of all of us
After the meeting Obo spends some time asking around town, seeking information. Before heading out he doses himself with some clear ear.

Truddig grumbles, remaining silent with Tercio as the others attempt to sway him, or at least to get assistance from the Eagle Knights. He stays with everyone as they try to learn more, periodically nudging and prodding with a question not otherwise thought of.
The reason those questions weren't thought of, though, was because they weren't helpful questions.

Jarat and Wolf continue their demonstration of how to remain stoic and basically lifeless. If one were not able to see their breathing, it might be suspected that they were statues or mannequins, perhaps taxidermy.
All this talking. No one ever asks about the land or the trees. They have lost sight of nature. A pity. They know only the loud city.
Tercio walks off without further words.
”I will send a dispatch of Eagle Knights at once.” Sander Bryton looks around at the group. ”If there is anything else you’d like to discuss I will be here.” Sander Bryton walks off.
Dorabeth pulls two of the group aside. ”I am terribly worried about Thalia. I will provide whatever aid I can to help.Thalia, unlike my father, has always been very excited about books such as those attributed to Lady Liberty. In fact, I recall seeing a fellow with a Galtan accent purchase just such a book in town.”
Dorabeth will sneak 2 Pathfinders into Thalia’s room for a short time.
If you go this way then RP this out as of you suggest this to her.
Dorabeth leads two Pathfinders upstairs.
Upon inspecting the room you notice hidden notes on a bookshelf. The notes indicate that her family—including her father Tercio—may have conspired with other powerful political families to form new dynasties within the ostensibly democratically elected seats of government around north and central Andoran. After a short time she ushers you out of the room, seemingly in a hurry.
She takes you back to the group.
While the two Pathfinders are investigating the bedroom Captain Demrick volunteers his insights into the groups investigation.
There is an abandoned villa you should look at.” He gives you accurate directions to it. ”Do not delay any more than necessary so as to avoid letting any conspirators know about your investigation or my involvement in it; I am concerned that I might face repercussions for ignoring the mayors orders. I will be at the guard station if you need me.” The Captain walks off.

"Ah-ah! More tyhan enough reason for someone to "disappear" the young lady..." Zathara considers within herself.
After she learns of the abandoned villa and is sure the group is out of earshot from the andorens she says:"What are we waiting for? This lead is as good any we've got... it's not like we have many clues to follow anyway!"
After finishing the groups goes to check out the villa.
This barren stretch of land is a sharp contrast to the surrounding fields of well-tended grapevines. At the center of the waste, at the end of an ill-kept path, sits a large stone villa in the old Chelish style that has partially collapsed as the result of fires long-since extinguished. Rotted timbers and soot flank scorched bone-white walls, and collapsed piles of blackened wood are all that remain of additions to the north and south ends of the main hall. Rain-slicked bare earth extends approximately three hundred feet away from the house in all directions.

Skirt swirling in the breeze, Laiashi strides up to the empty-looking building. This certainly isn't what I was expecting either. "I may not look it," she says, looking at the place, "but I'm good at getting around unseen. Maybe I should check it out first." She runs her hands down her sides, as though brushing off her outfit, and her clothing changes dramatically. Her cheerful skirt and blouse change into a tight black leotard, and a black hair tie appears on her head to hold her waving hair in place. "Wish me luck!" She moves to the front door.
As she goes, she draws a pair of previously-hidden daggers.
As Laiashi goes forward she stops in her tracks.
The root cellar of the Sauer manor once extended away from the house with well-maintained beams keeping the ceiling supported. These have since collapsed, and a sinkhole is about to form. Anyone who steps in one of the hazard squares denoted on the map collapses the entire sinkhole and must succeed at a DC 20 Reflex save or slide into a 20-foot-deep pit, taking 1d6 points of damage, 1d6 points of nonlethal damage, and landing mired in soil (giving the victim the entangled condition). A character can extricate himself from the soil as a standard action and can climb out of the sinkhole with a successful DC 15 Climb check. Once the sinkhole has caved in, the 12 squares adjacent to the hazard area become slanted and are treacherous to stand near. Anyone ending his turn in one of those squares must succeed at a DC 15 Reflex save or lose his footing and fall into the sinkhole, taking damage but avoiding the entanglement.
I’ve denoted the sinkhole with the white square on the map.
As she stops the group here’s the front doors swing open.
”Come and get her if you dare, hounds of the upper class!” You hear a yell from within the building.

Note that Hypnotic State has a range of 30 feet which could cause Zhatara to move in order to cover the distance. This would work better if Zhatara could react after those who won initiative did their move and could change depending on those actions

As Laiashi rushes forward, she feels the ground shift under her feet. She leaps backward just before the entire ground in front of her collapses. Whoa, that was close.
Shifting one of her daggers to her other hand as she closes the distance to her new assailants, she pulls out a vial of acid. "Why did you take her?"
The two bandits inside the house repeat themselves in unison.
”Come and get her if you dare!” as they ready themselves and show reluctance to come out.
The two bandits on the outside wait for the group to get closer. They pull out their swords while they wait.
