Ok, so let's head back to the painting, because the last bit we got he said he couldn't talk more until we had the key, and also told us this:
"The sahkil carries Kishokish’s staff. Youcould slay it to free Kishokish, but Vithiz is powerful, and there is another way: if you can wrest Kishokish’s staff from Vithiz and touch the sahkil with the staff, Vithiz and Kishokish will swap places—imprisoning it within the staff and freeing the rightful master of Nine-Eaves."
So, that seems like a good plan, but let's think strategy for a sec. Obviously Red and will flank this Vithiz, Red will have challenger's gloves on so he can disarm w/o penalty, maybe have Willard try to grease the staff first? Of course that makes it hard for us to pick up too, even if the big bad failed the save. Any other thoughts?

wait, what do you mean about disarming without penalty? I didn't see anything about that in the description that was linked.

You are right. I hadn’t read it, just misremembered what they were. Thought they gave the improved disarm feat. I think bc of the swashbuckler connotation. Does pose a problem for getting the staff away then. The evil eye + grease might be our best bet. You should still slap the dude w the gloves regardless.
Weird. The GM notes for the item also suggest they let you avoid AoO's when making disarm checks, so maybe something changed at some point? Anyway, let's say they do give you that benefit.
I'll tally up the loot you were meant to get from raiding his place and give it to you as a gift. In the meantime, feel free to rest up and get ready for the next set of challenges.

I've been meaning to go back and see if there are any clues, but Tim I'm wondering if you're willing to spare me that task and just tell me if in any of the visions I had clues like K is referencing.
Racking your brain, you come up with a red tabard on which is a white flower of some kind. A lotus, perhaps? On top of the lotus is a sword, point up.
In another vision, the woman who's been appearing to you cries, "With me, Shrikes!"
Relaying this info to Kishokish, he rubs his chin and says, "Well, Shrikes is an obvious reference to the companions of Ervin Roslar, a famous crusader and one of the Knights of Ozem. The symbol you describe could be that of Arazni, who was a herald of Aroden before her subsequent lichdom."
Sorry, guys. I'll get a post up before the weekend.

Tim, please just let us know the deal with the traveling salesman. Obviously we could use another wand or two of CLW, and offloading some of the gear we have accumulated for more transportable bits would be nice. And a handy haversack or bag of holding might be good, but not sure we can afford those.

Seconded for a wand of cure light!
Matt, any thoughts on the key? I have a pretty high UMD, but if you take it you could use it on a wand of healing or something if we need more than one person healing.
When you ring the bell, you notice a mist gather on the road before you. A cool wind blows from it and slowly a shadow forms within the cloud. The shadow darkens and emerges from the mist in the form of an ancient tengu leading an equally decrepit donkey cart.
All manner of oddments clatter and jangle within the cart. After some initial pleasantries, the Peddler sighs and says, "Alas, positive energy magicks are not much welcome in this vale. But I do have something put away for just such a case as this."
The Peddler produces a wand.
"You ring the bell of one of the keepers of this road, so I will tell you true: this wand is not fresh and full. I will sell it to you for less than the full price. 700 gold pieces in cash or kind and it is yours."
The wand has 39 charges.

"Are you willing to barter for items instead of coin? We have an array of goods that might suit your other client's needs. And do you happen to have anything in the way of extradimensional carrying space? I've heard of such things. We could make use of some such. As a planar peddler, thought you might have the like you'd be willing to part with."
"Extradimensional carrying space, mmmm? Yes, I do have onesuch."
you can buy a standard bag of holding I for 2,500 gp and you can barter at the usual exchange rates.

After you make your purchases, the Peddler shuffles down the road, their goat's bell ringing mournfully. The cold fog dissipates.

OK, went through and traded stuff off, and came to total of 3523gp, so 323 gp left over. Any stray potions or other things we could buy just to make it clean?

question for you tim, you the gold tooth was described as a +1 protection bonus at one point and a +1 resistance bonus in the loot tracker. I just wanted to double check about it. Thanks!
ja, sorry. it should be a deflection bonus (basically a ring of protection but without the slot).

Just checking where we are and how things work with this wheel. New round?
Yes. I'm really sorry to have dropped the ball. But you guys have made the skill checks you need to realize how to close it properly. In the interests of advancing the story, let's just say that Mrs. Pedipalp is pleased with your efforts and agrees to give you the stamp without any further ado. Salighara is pleased to get her Scriptorium back and you can head back to Umble and Thoot, to get directions back to the land of the living.

Really enjoyed that first book and looking forward to what awaits us on the Material Plane. I've got most of my leveling done and will tweak the last bits and get it edited on here over the weekend.
Share the fun stuff you get at lvls 4 and 5.
Some things for me:
At 5th I get an "ectoplasmic pool" which lets me add weapon properties to my blade, like corrosive, merciful, keen etc.

OK think he's updated correctly. In addition to ecto pool for blade, took Defiant Luck which 1/day I can either reroll a save on a 1 or force a foe to reroll a crit (in either case flavored that my haunted blade is doing the saving).
