Darven stands up and swings at the leader as he gets up, but misses. The follow up swing is more than enough to end the leader's life. All of the thugs visibly gulp.
Well, except for the Yellow guy, he screams as Kavor flanks with him and bypasses his shield with a well-aimed swing. "I knew this wasn't worth the money! I'm gettin' out of here!"
Carini tries to trip another thug, but he stands firm.

Hortensia tries to calm the men down but they are having none of it. The thug with the Yellow gloves, severely wounded, tries to flee. He is withdrawing, so he only Provokes AoOs from Kavor.
The thug with the White bandana steps carefully and flanks against Kovar, and the duo attack the dwarf.

@Darven - non-casters can try Perception checks I think.
@Loni - since you have it prepared, it's often a good idea to cast Guidance before making a skill check if it could reasonably be done in character (i.e., an active rather than a passive check). Or before a party member tries a skill check. Costs you nothing to do so.

The notes provide some answers, but not enough. You decide to ask around town.
In the town of Trollheim, everyone keeps to themselves. They don't like outsiders, especially nosy outsiders. The Pathfinders realize they'll need to tread lightly and ask careful questions about Hjort and Runa.
Roll Diplomacy or Knowledge(Local) checks to investigate. I'll need a total of 5 rolls from each of you.
If any of you are of Ulfen origin, you get a bonus to your checks. If you're from their rival region Irrisen and you mention this, you'll suffer a huge penalty instead.

Hours: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 1, 3) = 14
The party canvases the town, getting to know the locals and eventually getting some good results.
Kavor meets a comely Ulfen guard and she challenges him to an arm wrestling contest. She's quite impressed with his strength, and talks about these outsiders.
“I heard about an Ulfen warrior named Hjort—don’t know his family name—who came here a while back after his entire village was slaughtered on the Arcadian coast. People say his rage toward the Pathfinder Society burns bright, as they were the ones who slaughtered his people—a people, I heard, that he was destined to be the jarl of. Those traditional warriors from the coast are serious brutes—I wouldn’t want to be one of their targets.”
Darven talks to a muscular Ulfen warrior and is straight and to the point. The woman respects your determination and tells you what she knows.
“A dark-haired Chelish woman, family name of White, has been seen about the market recently. She’s hiring mercenaries and low-life thugs for Gorum-knows- what. If you’re looking for her to right some wrong, I’d bring a dozen more of you—she was cornered in one of the market’s darkest corners by some of Trollheim’s biggest miscreants, and just when they thought they had gotten the drop on her, she called to her god and blasted them with holy fire. She’s tough, that one, and not someone I’d mess with.”
An old swordsmith travels around the town during his days. Hortensia manages to talk his ear off about the smith's impressive weapon collection. He soon strikes up a conversation, and you get a few juicy tidbits.
“Yeah, I know those two. They approached my friends and me and offered us a ridiculous sum to work for them. No way was I going to work for a washed-up Ulfen warrior and a foreign she-devil from the south. Hjort’s eyes told all the story I needed to know: he wasn’t doing whatever he was doing for profit—he was doing it for revenge. That business has only one path, and it leads straight to Pharasma’s ample bosom. And Runa? Well, she’s a foreigner, ain’t she?”
Loni speaks to a destitute Gnome in Trollheim and converse with him without talking about his stench.
“Can’t say as I remember the name of the place, but when they tried to hire my cousin, they told him to meet them at some hole in the market. You’d best do your poking around there and stop pestering the peaceful folk of Trollheim before they decide to yank your entrails out from your mouth and strangle you with them.”
You meet a tall, lanky woman at an inn. She claims to be in the middle of writing the world's greatest saga, but all she seems to have done all day is drink. Carini entertains her by buying another drink. At least she won't run away from the Half-elf. Hannar manages to convince her to talk about something besides her saga.
“Hjort and Runa, you say? Yeah, I know ‘em. I drink a beer and punch a guy in the face every night down at the Horned Helm, and they’ve been there for weeks—months maybe. I tell ya, that Hjort can throw a punch, and don’t get Runa started about religion—she’s likely to talk about it long enough it starts a fight and the way she ends fights ain’t fair, ain’t right, and just ain’t normal. Runa is a dark-haired woman from Cheliax, and Hjort is a large brute with red hair, a red beard, and a scar across his left cheek.”
This takes most of the day and at this point it's time for bed. I'll assume you guys find an inn and discuss your results then.

Kavor Doan, having shared his story, agrees with Hortensia. "Yes, slaughtering villages on the Arcadian coast is not our way. We have been framed. I think Hortensia is our best negotiator, though I can back her up. Like all dwarves, I am naturally gifted with blades, spells, and words."
You get the sense that last sentence was at least partly in jest.

It took you about 14 hours to complete the investigation, so you would have had to wait for the next day to visit the bar.
You have heard many stories about the Horned Helm. Even the roughest and toughest of Trollheim consider it to be one of the worst dives in town. At least once a week, someone has a knife sticking out or their brains bashed against the wall.
The Horned Helm is a low-slung, two-story building of questionable construction leaning heavily over a shoddy corner of mud and brick in the dankest, filthiest parcel of land in all of the market. It has no windows, as they’ve all been broken and boarded over; its only door looks like a simple plank of wood covered in scratches, burns, and probably blood stains. Noise, heat, and smoke pour out from under that door and rise to a staggering crescendo of laughter as the door swings lazily open and two bodies are unceremoniously dumped into the rutted, frozen mud streets outside. A battered sign hangs above the door, swinging on two chains, one shorter than the other. It bears the faded image of an Ulfen helm with two ridiculously large horns.
Two bodies are lying slumped outside the walls. The bodies are bruised, alive and unconscious. As you enter the insults begin almost immediately. The bartender, a one-armed bearded man is the loudest and most vile of them all. He laughs at the scrawny wimps and their Ulfen chaperone who came into his bar.
The other thing you notice is the intense heat, blazing off of two iron furnaces full of coal. Eventually the insults cease, and the heat is a bit more comfortable.
Imagine the bar is mostly full of patrons.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Hortensia looks around the bar as she enters, making challlenging eye contact wth the patrons and making it clear she will brook no nonsense.
Over there she mutters to the rest of the group, nodding towards where Hjort is seated and she heads over.
