Finally got the chance to do this myself. YAY!

And Abaal's initial second iterative attack roll (the dice expression before the just above the "THREAT" tag) should be +7 to attack (total of 26 to hit) and +2 damage (damage total for that roll = 23) thanks to backswing and power attack. The crit confirmation dice are correct. Just a copy/paste error, in my rush to post on break. And those should be attacks with his +2 adamantine falchion. I hate auto-incorrect.

Jang starts to summon (as well) as his mosquito tries to connect, but fails. Patros and Abaal draw and strike hard, their tandem blows cutting into their respective foes at nearly the same instant.

Nemesis' highly selective maelstrom of negative energy proves far too much for the Sczarni aggressor and his head simply caves in.

The restrained Pegasus clambers as best it can onto the hay bale to close with Claudia.

Strangely, all the pedestrians and livestock vendors hurry past or look on in distaste but don’t interfere in the fracas.

So Claudia simply infuses her tongue with electricity and zaps the thug, who convulses wildly before slumping to the ground. While you are dealing with Abaal's bleeding wounds, a man in merchant clothing walks close by and utters. "Time to return to the House of Common for your just rewards..." before disappearing back into the crowd.

After healing, you can return to the common house with your new prize.

At the Common House:
There the Freemen greet you with a hearty cheer and a round of drinks. Your arrival also coincides with the council members debating whether or not to send an emissary to Andoran — but that would only interest Liberty's Edge members, of which there sadly are none.

Your minds only slightly hazy from the celebratory rounds - you take to the streets once again. No more than a few hundred yards from the Common House, the thick crowds suddenly disperse, leaving only a half-dozen burly thugs and a wiry man leaning against a wagon. He smirks and hungrily spits out that “Dakar wants to speak with you, now.”

Stepping further into the clearing, he holds a half dozen black hoods. "You're going to need to wear these, though." A few of thugs muffle nervous laughter behind him.

Some in the crowd hold poses and expressions as if this has happened before but are curious to see your reaction.

"A wise decision. There is indeed no mightier ally, or deadlier enemy, than the Queen of the Inferno," Nemesis replies, indicating her heavy golden icon. "We're not normally a missionary faith, but if I've Sparked your interest, I can tell you about Her." She raises her glass eagerly. "Yes! To Queen Ymeri, AND the Society, and the kindling of a new friendship!"

__That Was Then___This Is Now__

Seeing Janus's assent, Nemesis grimly gives hers. "Allow me one precaution," she says stiffly as she pulls out what appears to be the femur of a wolf, which she dusts with a generous handful of natron while saying a prayer in Ignan before hurling it to her side...at which point it immediately begins orbiting around her.

@Nemesis The Freemen would listen politely but are bombarded by tales of a hundred gods in a day, and most favor Cailean on principle. But they toast Ymeri nonetheless!

Grudgingly allowing the weird floating bone, the thugs proceed to place the bags over your heads. You quickly realize they are under the effect of some sort of silence effect, but are otherwise comfortable.

You are guided into a wagon that winds and bounces its way through the streets for over an hour before the goons lead you on a short walk. When the bags are removed, you find yourselves in a room luxuriously appointed in the Tian style. Dakar (presumably), visible only as a large shapeless silhouette, addresses you from behind a large backlit paper screen decorated with images of imperial dragons.

In a clearly disguised but deep voice he intones. “You’ve been busy, Pathfinders, so I’ll get straight to the point. I’ve invested a lot of money in the Gaels. If you’re asking me to help you kill my investment, you’ll have to offer me something more valuable in return.”

"The Gaels have proven themselves untrustworthy and duplicitous, Dakar" Janus replies simply. "They have demonstrated this in their dealings with the Freemen. They will be the same with you. What return were you expecting from your investment?"

The silhouette moves slowly with laughter, as the guards tense slightly at your directness. "I know of the Gaels far better than you, newcomers. But my business dealings are my own. I will share my reasoning with you, perhaps... someday - as you need to know - provided of course you become valuable to me as well. But I am the one asking questions for now. So what do you have to offer me to betray the Gaels?"

Nemesis likewise tries being direct, but rather than simply interrogating their host, she tries stoking the embers of his desires.

"Surely you're familiar with the Pathfinder Society. What can these Gaels possibly offer that the Society cannot match?"

The silhouette calms. "I am quite familiar with your Society and their talents. Although I did hear a squad of them recently perished in the Halflight Path under this city. But that was not you. So you would pledge a sizeable future service for me to be named from your Society?"

Mechanically, he is asking if you would be willing to part with a total of 12 Prestige Points as a group, divided between the six of you however you wish.

Jang shakes his head.

”As a merchant this does not feel like a good deal to be honest! Do not forget that the society is not all about muscle … our mercantile network is almost impossible to circumvent and has reach. I am sad to admit that but the Pathfinder exchange encompasses the honest and dark sides of this world’s trade businesses so I’m sure you’ll find some other deal that we can make to secure your cooperation!!!“ Jang says with a little more energy than usual.

There is a distinct groaning from behind the screen. "Yes, I know of the Society's reach, I even count some of your Decemvirate as personal friends, and they know of my stature as well. Alas, empty platitudes will not feed me."

The silhouette repositions.

“So if you have nothing to offer me, then I have a job for you. Imelda Gael is using her cousin Orphyro as a bit of a shield. The boy has been a member in good standing for many years now and always paid his dues on time. Of course, I realize the kind of mishaps that occur in your line of work, but I would be disappointed to hear he was dead. Spare Orphyro’s life, and tell him he lives courtesy of Dakar.”

"Being contracted not to kill someone is unusual, but it will not be the first time. Such terms are agreeable to us, but the rest must give their view also." Janus nods towards their associates.

Growing annoyed at the doublespeak, Abaal says "'Job' implies payment, but before you answer I will warn you, though you should already know, that there are a number of competing factions within the Society the largest of which might be the so-called 'Murder Hobos'.

“You’ll find your payment - the Gaels themselves hiding in Orphyro’s store, Pallbearers. It’s on the ground level of Ankar-Te, at the corner of Blackstone Shamble and Three Eel Alley.”

He pauses before adding, with a strangely calm air.

“You should be aware that Imelda Gael is an accomplished alchemist, and she sells the drug called flayleaf that can induce a pathetic state of fatigue or inebriation. She’s also benefited from combat training with the Freemen for several months. Her cousin Orphyro is a necromancer, as I’m sure you guessed. Just yesterday he purchased the bodies of some deceased Brothers of the Seal—a bit excessive for creating household servants if you ask me.

"That is useful information, Dakar. We thank you."

Later, as the Pathfinders prepare for a showdown:

"Undead are an abomination unto the Green. We have scrolls with a spell that will hide two of us from their perception for ten minutes, though the magic is broken as soon as any recipient attacks anyone or touches an undead."

Hide from Undead. Janus also recommends Communal Resist Energy (hi Jang!) and antitoxin or delay poison.

Dakar snickers at Jang's persistence. "Yes, master dwarf, it would be regrettable to lose out on such a potential investment, especially one with such connections to exotic goods as the disgraced Sczarni. Perhaps I will prepare a preliminary mercantile contract for you to present to your Trade Prince for when you return from your meeting with the Gaels."

--------------------------------------------

Quickly moving to the bizarre sights of the Ankar-Te district, the group detects spices from Tian Xia and Vudra that mingle with the muted scent of death on the busy streets. The wealthy ride litters carried by teams of undead that slowly push their way through the press of pedestrians.

The directions from Dakar were quite clear, and you find the Pallbearers shop. The front doors look unlocked as if opened for business. Through the dusty windows you can see a glass display case along the west wall that presents a row of mindless undead standing motionless within. A pair of human staff stand idly behind a counter beyond.

New map. Position yourself as you wish to enter and make any last preparations needed.

Nemesis looks around in genuine interest at the Ankar-Te lifestyle before stopping at their destination; she stands before it, sword shield, and icon at the ready, when a thought occurs to her.

She breaks out a wand she's only used on one occasion before: What looks like a long, thick stylus of brass, etched in silver and gold with tiny, spiraling runes and tipped with a cube-cut fire opal. She points it at (almost) everyone in turn, each of whom experiences a strange, subtle sensation as they peer into the opal's face and discern within its depths a different numeral....

Today's lucky numbers are...:

Claudia: 1d20 ⇒ 14
Abaal: 1d20 ⇒ 19 <- We have a LOSER!!!
Janus: 1d20 ⇒ 3 {-- Oh, lookie, Janus...
Patros: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Jangafzaar: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Magas: 1d20 ⇒ 18
myself: 1d20 ⇒ 3 {-- ...it's your favorite: Twins!

Better luck next time, Abaal; otherwise, not too shabby!

"They should not be expecting us, but they may be expecting trouble. A request to meet with the owner to discuss urgent and lucrative business may be appropriate. In the meantime, let us ready ourselves for a confrontation."

Janus casts Shield of Faith and Fallback Strategy on themself, and swallows an antitoxin. They apply a charge of Heightened Awareness from a wand and will expend the spell for +4 initiative if combat breaks out. If anyone wants it, Janus will happily cast Hide from Undead on them from a scroll can do this for up to two persons, duration 10 minutes.

And if anyone wants a sap - turns out Janus isn't proficient, so please take one!

"We were not asked to end Imelda Gael specifically, but to end the threat that the Gael family represent to Karela. Sending this woman on her Journey is an expedient solution, but we are open to others if you have suggestions."

Can anyone think of a diplomatic solution to Karela's problem?

don't need a sap..i can do better with my falcata flat bladed...

We could just try to persuade them to give up their pursuit of Karela...that he is protected under the auspices of the Society. Might be worth a shot at least... Patros says with a shrug.

Well, if she wants to get up close and personal, I'll oblige her. And a necromancer...joyous...

Abaal cocks an eyebrow in Patros, then shrugs.

Currently.

"We could ask them to see reason." Abaal says with all seriousness.

“Sorry, the boss ain’t in right now. I can take your order, though. Just step right up to the counter here.” the man says.
