Venture-Captain Drandle Dreng's pinched face is hard to see from behind the stack of books that divide the front of his office from the space behind his desk.
A shockingly old man with white hair and slightly milky eyes, he is surprised by the appearance of outsiders in his office, and looks up, half startled and half relieved.
“Thank you for coming on such short notice.
I'd been meaning to give this assignment to you at a later date, and with less pressing time constraints,
but it seems that time has conspired against us."

A golden furred kitsune walks into the Venture-Captain's office. She is wearing a frilly red, knee length dress and white blouse over a leather jerkin. Stopping next to Dreng's desk, the kitsune hangs her head in shame.
"I'm sorry about not bringing you that package, last time," the fox-woman says. "I know VC Valsin told you all about what we found and why we followed up on it without checking in. But we totally should have given you the stuff you asked for first. I told the rest of my team that you were waiting - all alone in the cold and rain, but we had a bunch of paladins on that team. You know how they can get, 'Justice waits for no...'"
The kitsune's voice trails off as she notices the other Pathfinders in the room. "Oh, this isn't about that..." Her demeanor instantly perks up and she greets her fellows. "Hi! I'm Sylvianna Sakuraba, but you can call me Sylvie."

Greetings, you must be my new employer. My name is Aisling
the white haired girl, stares at the new arrival, in a moments notice putting up a fake smile. over her frosty persona. her current attire, a dark purple cloak and a simple black dress over a leather tunic.
Hello, my name is Aisling, i'm a mercenary. Here to assist in your current mission. You may call me Ash if you wish.
"Ok, for expressing this mission details now. look at that ... "
Dreng lightly taps a bony finger on a map, on which can be seen a section of Absalom with a small corner townhouse circled in deep red.
"This townhouse is a facade for an underground vault.
The vault belonged to an old noble family of Absalom that was expelled a decade ago - the Decklands.
The family was forced out when their patriarch - a man known as Orias - was discovered to have written documents detailing the city's
defenses, documents he intended to hand over to hostile forces loyal to Cheliax.
The Chronicle indicates that a copy of these documents exist within the vault."
"A Pathfinder looking into the Decklands and their Chronicle references in Cheliax was attacked and killed ten days ago.
The thugs made off with a copy of his notes - fortunately, he’d already sent us another.
We have reason to believe it was the work of the Decklands' oldest child, a young woman named Celeena, and she’s the reason this assignment is now urgent.
The fact that Celeena and her forces were willing to kill a Pathfinder for this information shows how desperate they are to retrieve the documents.
If she were able to get these documents and return them to Cheliax, it would undermine the defenses of the whole city, as well as cause the Society undue headaches. Find Celeena, find the documents in her vault, and prevent this situation from turning into one big mess for the Society.”

Slyvianna forces herself to stay still as the carnivorous dinosaur sniffs her. "Uh... Hello, there. Gotta warn you, I might bite back," she tells the creature with a smile. Yeah, if there's enough of me left to bite, she admits to herself.
"So, why do we think Celeena Deckland's the one behind the Pathfinder's murder?" Sylvianna asks Dreng. "It's not like Cheliax lacks Aspis agents, deranged cultists, and random demons."
Dreng, is blinking his eyes, responses to Ailing and Slyvianna.
"The agents in Cheliax report that Celeena hired mercenaries from the Devil’s Claw Company, a mercenary organization of failed Hellknights.
We should to catch her and get more informations of them."

"sorry about being late there were unfortunately many obstacles in my way to this meeting. What will we need to break into the vault? and information as far as defenses?"

Do you have a location for the failed Hellknights? or a base of operation?

Aisling stayed quiet as her teammates asked the questions...it's not her job to ask questions, just to do.
Devils are just as bad as demons... demons are insane, they break everything. Devils are more intelligent, they seek to claim a persons soul for eternal damnation more than just the petty destruction and chaos that demons seek. The hell knights modeled the strictness and rigidness of their group after the devils.
As for breaking into the vault i should be able to handle that, either with some sort of key, or just unlocking the mechanism keeping it shut, should be simple.
Dreng says to Aisling and Shen.
"I don't know that location. but when the asking to her, it maybe become clear."
"We need to break the vault where she is probably."
"if possible, I want that you capture her to get more information later."
the MAP is HERE
The party arrive at the Eastgate district in the Absalom.
Sitting on the corner of a quiet street, the red brick Deckland townhouse melds in with the middle class buildings in this portion of Absalom.
A small, flickering candle can be seen through a barred window on the building's west side and a single door can be seen on the building's south face.
Aisling hears from a back room that the two men is arguing about a card game.
She also finds that the trap of a alarm is set on the window.
The alarm device is inside a room at the window.
Aisling's finger isn't able to put into the window.
Look closely, The window is barred by simple metal bars.
While unlocking, Asiling finds out a string at the door's top.
This string is connected to the bell inside the door.
The door and This trap are unlocked easily by her technique.
The party enter at the townhouse and soon meet to three man in a room where furniture scatter.
Two man say party in surprise: "Who are you!?"
At a moment, a man slides a particular floor at the room's corner and jump in there.
The man avoided Kontha's clow, and his face came out a cold sweat.
but Aisling's dagger strikes him deeply.
"Curse you!"

Assuming that we are actually hurting enemies and that we haven't just broken into somewhere and are whole-sale slaughtering people that have not given violence or provocation to us.
I will quickly draw my bow, and while having two arrows on the string in a calm voice ask Do not Move, who are you and why are you here
*Delay until after Kontha for trying to talk*
as i say this though everyone around me takes action.
in surprise shen mutters an oh well i guess the fight is joined.
Ill fire both arrows.
Top guy
Bottom if i have a shot guy
DM please add any -'s for Kontha (i think hes a medium creature if i remember correctly)(any sort of cover that he gives)
Many arrows fired by sylvianna and shen go to men as a rain, but an arrow by her hits a man hits shallowly.
Two man faced in anger attack Dulomak's Kontha and Aisling with short swords. "Down!!"
Top man:
Bottom man:
I must apoologize to you that this game is stoping because one member said to drop out by the Pathfinder Society Rule.
If you find out that member, I wish to you to not blame him so the part of problem is my fault.
At a later date, I make a other session of a other scenario as GM and send the invite message to you if you wish it.
Excuse me.
- regards
