Evarice watches the Aspis members retreat. "Fools. Always ready for blood."
She looks back to the mansion. "Was the dead man we found in the safe room... him? I am unsure."

The dead man in the room was decidedly NOT the Pathfinder you were looking for - you can easily enough sneak back to where you started and
Rechecks module - the only encounter you had not yet triggered was another trap and given your party composition and MO I am just gonna fast forward a bit.
There are actually no remaining obstacles to your recovering the missing pathfinder - he is bound and gagged older man tied up to a chair - you are easily able to free him and disarm the trap on the chair.

Once he has been healed he wakes up. Hrm what...are you....pathfinders? Oh thank goodness they sent a body recovery team! I am Harmidio Besai, the pathfinder agent He shifts his kimono that he has so shamelessly culturally appropriated and struggles against his bonds

The Venture-Captain is overjoyed to see your success and happy you managed to save her foolish agent and allows each of you some time to study the manual before sending it off to the Goka for use by the Pathfinder team entering the Ruby Phoenix Tournament.
