A cocky-looking Taldane man in armor strides along, playing absent mindedly with his mustache and looking somewhat like this.
A wonderful day indeed!" he exclaims in a rather strident, nasal voice. "Aldebert Dunitee, of the Highlands Dunitees, late of the Taldane Phalanx, 7th Legion, 3rd Cohort. A pleasure working with society agents such as yourselves.
When would be a good time to mention purchases made before the scenario began?
Wyrgan greets all of his upcoming companions in a friendly manner. "Good day to you all. My name is Wyrgan Goodheart, warrior for Ragathiel, The Empyreal Hound of Battle. It will be a pleasure to serve alongside you all in this upcoming mission."
Earlier you recieved a letter from Venture-Captain Bakten Shengrab. He wants to meet with you in the Sanctuary of the Unbound Knot in New Oppara.
please see the handout linked above
and once you get to the Sanctuary
A flurry of cherry blossoms paints the air above the Sanctuary of the Unbound Knot. A chill wind brings the last gasps of winter down from the Zi Ha Mountains, which legends claim to be the cradle of samsaran civilization. Now, in New Oppara, one of their living legends lies dying within his sanctuary. Soon, the sages say, Bakten Shengrah is to transcend to the Great Beyond, taking with him all the wisdom of twelve lifetimes and two millennia of lore beheld firsthand.
For Pathfinders, an audience with the reclusive Bakten is a privilege indeed. As the gust of wind subsides, a gray rabbit quietly lopes down the sanctuary steps and across the courtyard.
When the rabbit reaches you, its face elongates to a human girl’s. "Walk-lookers! You! Now! Come! Bakten, friend, good news, dying soon. But woe! Worry and fear. A veiled life. Come!" the rabbit says.

Chaul reaches out to gently lift the rabbit.
"We are coming, here, let me carry you. What is your name? And what is a veiled life? A 13th one maybe?"
"Bah!" exclaims a dismissive Aldebert, fingering nervously at his newest purchases, as if somehow afraid that the creature intends to rob him. "More nonsensical pseudo-mystical mumbo-jumbo, in the same ludricrous vein as our Venture-Captain's missive or this ... bunny... thing... woman. At least she has the decency to speak Taldane like the rest of the Inner Sea region and not that atrocious patois they flaunt about in the rest of this continent."
He hoists his crossbow across both shoulders before continuing, addressing the creature as if it were simple-minded; slowly and loudly:"Is Venture-Captain Bakten dying right now? Is he in his bed dying? Are you taking us to him?"
Aldebert would have liked to further enchant his breastplate with a +1 enhancement bonus back in Absalom. Since New Oppara is a rather large town at first glance, Aldebert would make the following purchases:
+1 mithral buckler
Belt of Incredible Dexterity +2
Headband of Inspired Wisdom +2

"Name Twig, cannot provide answers. Come now! Fast!" the rabbit answers and leads you up the stairs. This tranquil sanctuary’s architecture shows a strong influence of Minkaian styles. A prominent, gently curved, moss-covered roof soars over 30 feet into the sky above the single-story building. At the front of the sanctuary, wide stone steps ascend to the outer courtyard, which features a pristine copper bell decorated with intricate knotwork and several pieces of statuary. A pair of staircases on the east and west of the courtyard leads to the interior of the sanctuary, which is modestly furnished.
The earthen floor of this tranquil courtyard is perfectly flat and clear of debris. A 20-foot-diameter circle occupies the center of the courtyard, filled with a sand painting depicting intricate, endless knotwork. To the southeast, four fir trees grow in an orderly row, and to the southwest, a small rock garden peeks out from behind a layer of tall bushes.

"Wow, someone has lots of time to make a drawing like that in the sand" notes Chaul as he takes in the sites.
Aldebert raises an appreciative eyebrow as he looks about. "I suppose this isn't too shabbily done" he remarks in that selfsame strident voice "although I would have hoped they stay true to the style of mighty Taldor. This..." he continues, gesturing emphatically at their surroundings "...is all... Well. Calling it pagan rubbish would be a disservice to anyone who tries to mimic that style using good old fashion Taldane know-how, but still. I suppose this entire trip will be an exercise in masking my disappointment."
"You seem to be concerned over glories of the past my friend, release that thought and concern yourself with making your future a better place." Wyrgan tells the crossbowman as they follow their guide...
Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
When you enter the courtyard and see a man, his skin is blue and his eyes are white. But before you can speak to him mayhem strikes. Chaul and Opal spot two Ninjas at the roof above the stairs and Opal spots two more hiding behind the bushes in the south west corner of the courtyard. The Ninjas immediately attack the pale blue skinned man while Pooka tries to hide somewhere.

"What seems to be the matter, my buttock-smelling friend?" asks Aldebert genially, oblivious to the blade wielding locals that seem to have taken issue with the Venture-Captain. Male or Female? Do dwarves even have a gender? he ponders as combat is joined, without him being any wiser for it.

Sorry, busy day at work
Chaul says a quick prayer.
"Saeraen protect us all, and smite your foes while you are at it."
Prayer, +1 to hit and damage for everyone. Blue and red will be at -1 to hit, damage and rolls
Chaul prays while moving closer to the blueish man. The ninjas behind teh bushes spread out of their hiding places while the two on the roof throw shuriken at Susan and Wyrgan.

And with that Opal will draw her bow and attach a shock bomb to it and fire at green.

Everyone, remember the prayer effect, +1 to hit and damage
"Saeraen smite your enemies" calls out the priest.
Casts spiritual weapon, we'll start with green or if it drops, move on to yellow
Aldebert looks about, realizing that the party, or possibly the Venture Captain, is pretty surely under attack. With a throaty chuckle and a rather disturbing smile, he aims his crossbow at the thing facing Susan.
"GREETINGS, LOCAL PEASANTRY! ON THIS LAST DAY OF YOUR LIVES, ALLOW ME TO PRESENT TO YOU THE PRIDE OF THE 3rd COHORT! BEHOLD, MATHILDA!"
Aldebert shoots three bolts at the ninja in front of Susan and hits twice. The ninja is injured badly, but is still standing. Suddenly Bakten casts a spell while pointing on the roof to the east. Two ninjas drop from the roof and hit the ground falling unconscious.
While one of the ninjas approaches Bakten with a niginata in her hands, another one tries to hit Susan, but misses. The second ninja on the roof to the north throws a shuriken at Opal.
Naginata vs. Susan:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Shuriken vs. Opal:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27Crit confirm:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12Damage:1d2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Vile beast! And she'll shoot another Shock Bomb Explosive Missile:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 at the blue ninja, but is so furious at being hit, her aim is way off.

Chaul steps up to intercept the yellow ninja with his scimitar, and redirects the spiritual weapon to the same target.
While Wyrgan climbs the building to the right Susan and Chaul attack ninjas with weapons. Chaul hits, but Susan's attempt is not successful. Opal's explosive missile misses its target.
The ninja on the right side roof draws her naginata and waits for Wyrgan to reach the top. ready attack

"Agent Chaul, you unfortunately waste your breath; these elves have clearly taken leave of their senses and anything else that matters in this world, considering their garb!" yells a conceited Aldebert as he continues firing on the ninja facing Susan.

"Breathe is never wasted where there is a chance for Redemption" chides the priest.
"We have our orders." one of the ninjas finally says.
Aldebert shoots at the ninja in green and hits. The elf drops after the first shot so Aldebert shoots two more arrows at the ninja on the roof.
The other ninja on the roof hurls another shuriken at Opal while the ninja in yellow strikes at Chaul with her naginata.

"How unfortunate for you" replies Chaul. "And what were they exactly? To die needlessly?"
The spiritual weapon continues to harry the ninja
spiritual weapon attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 damage:1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
While his own scimitar lashes out at the elf(?)

Opal shoots another shock bomb missile at the ninja on the roof. The missile explodes in the ninja's face. Wyrgan climbs further up to the top and the ninja takes an attempt to knock him out but fails before taking another attempt and missing again.

"Ahhh, soldiers then eh? Well then, my apologies for having a pajama obsessed commander. A delusional one at that!" shouts Aldebert, with a nod that wants to be respectful yet brief, but ends up looking as a spasm.
