You head back to the corner where you met Venture-Captain Dreng earlier this morning. He is nowhere to be found.
No one recalls seeing Dreng recently, although one patron at the tavern across the street does remember seeing a beggar earlier.
Heading across town leaves you dripping wet again, as the rain shows no sign of letting up. The tomb of Arkath the Stonemason is in a large cemetery overseen by the Church of Abadar, and is apparently located very near the front gate. Behind the tomb (off the map to the west) the cemetery stretches off into the distance. Due to the bad weather, there are few mourners visible, and none near the gate.
After only a few minutes' search, you locate the tomb of Arkath. The stone tomb is decorated with Gothic-style arches and grotesques, with cunningly-carved gargoyles standing watch on each corner. The workmanship is superb, as befits a master stonemason. However, you see nothing on the exterior of the tomb which seems to pertain to your task. The tomb's heavy stone door has no outward-facing means of opening. (Door indicated by black outline)
EDIT: It says +0 in your stat block at the top, but +4 in your "Skills" spoiler.
The cemetery appears as you would expect. The tombs and grave markers are fairly elaborate, about what you would expect for worshipers of Abadar, who tend to be money-oriented. Arkath's tomb itself seems even grander, likely ornamented in tribute to his rank as a master mason. There is a small barred window on the south end of the tomb, only a foot square, near the roofline.
Thinking back to the notes, it was claimed that Arkath would "take his secrets with him to his grave"... likely any clues you need will be inside the tomb.
Nothing magic is within range, either inside or outside the tomb. (I assume you look through the window mentioned above.)
It looks like the door will open if you can get some leverage... a crowbar or similar implement would make it merely a matter of brute strength. Or you could break it down.
The stone door slowly pulls open to reveal a small tomb. IN the center is a stone sarcophagus, beautifully engraved with bas reliefs and runes. Two stone statues stand guard near the wall, each capturing a stonemason in the pursuit of his craft.
As you examine the now-open tomb, you hear a voice from behind you. "You choose a rainy day to defile Arkath's tomb... I wonder why?"
Standing near the next tomb is a broad-shouldered Mwangi man, wearing the robes of a priest of Abadar. He carries a heavy mace, and wears a breastplate and a stern look.

I knew this would happen...Abadar, the god of cities, wealth, merchants and the law...Anything specific about this man I would recognize?
"Hello good sir. My name is Jiggo Maelerant. I assure you, we aren't graverobbers. We are currently investigating a mystery within the Pathfinder Society, and the clues led us to Arkath's tomb. He had mentioned leaving some secrets in his grave, and we hoped to take a closer look and solve a mystery involving an incredible blacksmith and businessman."
Jiggo walks toward the man, hand outstretched for a handshake. The other hand remains on his quarterstaff.
Traflet smiles helpfully, Please sir, I promise we won't be in the way!
The cleric of Abadar considers your words for several seconds, looking at Jiggo's outstretched hand thoughtfully. "It is my task to ensure the sanctity of Arkath's tomb, among others... a task I have failed at this day. If your intentions are honorable, why come under cover of weather and disturb his tomb without seeking permission?" He seems to be speaking mostly to himself, as he does not pause for an answer. "And is it not a man's right to take his own secrets to his own grave?"
"And now the Church will be forced to pay for the resealing of the tomb, whether I allow you to search for your secrets or not. What to do..."

"Hmm. Not really interested in discovering secrets and solving mysteries, eh? I understand, it's not for everyone. How about this, though: Give us an estimate on resealing this, and you or I can make a tidy donation to the temple Abadar to pay for this."
Jiggo looks back at the now open masoleum. "Admittedly, the damage has already been done, no?"
|
"Sir, we did not know we need permission. In hindsight, well, it is obvious, but we just had a very dangerous encounter with an evil ... something and we were curious to find the truth. We do not want glory, we do not want secrets for their sake, actually the opposite, we just want to find the truth! To know the truth and tell everybody. And about the secrets, well Sir, secrets are somewhat ... special. I would not mind if someone wants his gold in his afterlive, but if said secret is to spoil another mans name and honor... then I think it is diffrent! In any casem please tell me what we owe the church of abadar, as we did the damage, it is our duty to undamage it!"
"Hmm, you speak wisely," the man says ponderously. "As you say, the damage is already done, and a donation to the Church would take care of that... a generous donation of 20gp will take care of the costs." He strokes his chin thoughtfully.
"You speak of secrets that may spoil another man's honor. Can you be more plain?" he asks, turning to Dailung.

Very silent Dailung answers"Whose honor? Mine and everyones who dedicated our live to an idea, to a society where we would share our findings.
Showing the notes, Dailung starts to speak:
"You see, in the beginning the pathfinder society was a dream, a dream of some men, who dreamt that our past my guide our future. Who dreamt that they might find answers our ancesters found for problems we have now!. Not for personal power, not for gain or money. They had rules and the rules was find, report and cooperate. Report. And cooperate. So when one of the founders found that someone betrayed that rules, rules who were the cornerstones of a society, he had to find the truth. So that those who followed in his footsteps, could do so with a clean concousness!
I believe in this dream, I believe in this society. But I need to know, that whenever I do something dangerous, I have to do it, because I trust my superiors. Trust them that the ideals of the society are pure. I know there is a bad apple here and there, but if the first were rotten, all of those that followed were rotten. And if we clean this stain on our history, do not hide it but bring it to the light, then we can again hold our heads high, go to the most dangerous places and return home, to be a proud member of a society of explorers and wisdom seekers, not power hungry thiefs!"
"Your words convince me of the importance of your task. I will allow you to examine the tomb, under my supervision, to find your "secret". The cleric motions you towards the tomb's entrance and allows you inside. He remains just outside the door.
"Damage nothing further, if you please," he chides as you enter.
The tomb itself is empty save for the statues in the corners, each depicting a master stonemason at work. The sarcophagus is a stone affair with runes and bas-reliefs carved into it. The lid appears to be held in place only by its own weight. Given Arkath's promise to take his secrets with him to the grave, any clues are probably hidden inside the coffin itself.
