I am going to rule the building are only about 10 feet tall

A small cart emerges into the square. Two figures dressed in plain robes push the cart from behind. As the cart passes the fountain, the bearers give it a shove and send it hurtling toward Murdut’s home with a shout. Additional figures jump out of the back in a coordinated maneuver, brandishing wicked blades and wearing wayfinders.

At first, the house only creaks from the impact. After a quiet pause, a roar comes from the wagon as flames lick out of its sides. The building catches on fire soon after.

Lol, so not a good idea to be in the house.

Jaxon bursts out of the door to Murdut’s home, not really caring about the building burning. He rushes one of the thugs and launches a kick to his gut. That proves to be just a feint as he jabs him in the throat. "Get this one, Kaitlyn!"

◆ Cast a Spell, Shield

After Avery's attacks miss, Green starts groveling for his life: Please don't kill me. I don't know anything. They hired me off the street last week.

Red Also tries to surrender. I'm still bleeding and I don't want to die.

Bleed damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Flat check to stop bleeding, DC15: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Shandra steps next to Cole and strikes with both weapon!

+1 Striking cold iron sawtooth sabre: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 13 - 2 = 13
Damages, S (non lethal): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12
+1 Striking sawtooth sabre: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 - 2 = 15
Damages, S (non lethal): 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + 2 = 10

But she misses all her attacks.

That was your last warning, drop your weapon Cole. She says awkwardly.

Seeing that her immediate foe has surrendered, Kat slaps a battle dressing on Shandra's wound.

Medicine, Battle Med: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

She repeats the same process with Jaxon.

Medicine, Battle Med: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Healing: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 4) = 18

She then moves to the center of the square to assist her comrades if needed.

◆ Battle Med vs Shandra
◆ Battle Med vs Jaxon
◆ Stride

Thanks Kat!

Shandra makes a show of trying to hit Cole, but ends up missing him.

Kat starts using Battle Medicine on her allies.

Zenith steps towards the bleeding red ruffian and leader. "You, by the stars, my touch will heal you. And you, surrender now so we can talk about this. There is a better future ahead" Zenith says to the ruffian and the leader respectively. Zenith stretches out their free hand towards the ruffian, Desna, let them dream another day they think as light emits from their hand and begins healing red's wounds. Satisfied, Zenith quickly turns around and attempts to grab Cole.

If Red is a willing creature, Zenith heals for 18 hp.

Grapple vs Cole's Fort DC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Actions: ◆Step ◆Lay on Hands ◆Grapple
Reaction ↺ Opportune Riposte if enemy crit fails a strike against Zenith then Zenith melee strikes back!

Cole Farsen opens his hands and would take a knee if Zenith didn't have him grappled.

All your enemies have surrendered.

Locals quickly converge on the site and put out the fire before it spreads to adjacent buildings. It’s clear that Murdut is rather shaken by the event. I’m grateful for the Pathfinder Society protecting me, but I am also terrified that I was targeted due to the former affiliation. I do not blame you, but I will keep a cautious distance.

That's understandable Murdut. Take care of yourself, glad to have been able to help.

Says Shandra to the half-orc.

Turning to Cole she asks Who's your superior? Who gave you these wayfinders and asks you to do all these actions in the name of the Society?

Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

I, I only started working for the Ninth Army about three months ago. The person who recruited me has left town since then, and I get my instructions via a constantly moving set of dead drops. The organization is very decentralized, and most members won’t know any other members unless they have been on a mission with them. I have only heard some Ninth Army members refer to someone named “the Peddler,” who apparently was responsible for shifting the Ninth Army’s focus onto the Pathfinder Society.

Scratch keeps his hidden position on the roof, keeping a close eye on the area for any sneaks or incoming trouble. I'm sure they can ask all the right questions, that Shandra's got a mouth on 'er! Wonder where Mr Moos-ello or that woman is being held?

Can you tell us where Adamina is beeing held after her abduction?

We left her locked in an old warehouse. I'll give you the location.

After the attack on the Lionsgate market, you receive a summons to Lady Morilla’s manor for a debriefing.

On the way, you find out that Adamina was able to get a passerby’s attention by banging on the locked door to the warehouse. While she is deeply shaken by the events, she is otherwise unharmed.

When you arrive and are brought to her parlor, Lady Morilla is not alone. Venture-Captain Muesello sits uncomfortably in one of the chairs. Gloriana Morilla gives a wry smile and tells you that I’m interested in the result of the investigation, but I do have proof that Muesello is not behind this crime. Thanks to your investigations, I was able to track him down shortly before the attack. He was drinking tea with me while the attack happened. She turns to Muesello, her face becoming stern as she asks him: What’s going on? I think these Pathfinders deserve an explanation after all the work they did.

Muesello hangs his head and says with a voice filled with tension, “But it’s all true! You can’t deny it—I was behind everything, including the attack on Murdut. I’ve been plotting against the throne.”

Avery raises an eyebrow. "Why would you, a Pathfinder, meddle with their politics? Is that a new policy of the Society?" she questions him while trying to assess if there is something wrong with the man's statements. Sense Motive, Perception +11

Lady Morilla pulls you past a paper screen, which has been enchanted to prevent sound from traveling past.

While keeping an eye on Muesello, she says, “This clearly isn’t true. The venture-captain is not behind this, and the attempt to tie the Pathfinder Society to both anti-Eutropian sentiments and violent acts is concerning. Clearly, these actions are meant to harm the Society. I’m not sure if this investigation helped us get ahead of these unknown enemies or if we’ve stumbled into a trap.

We need to learn what’s happening, and why Muesello insists on taking the blame. I’ll stay in touch as I learn more.” She dismisses you with a furrowed brow and many unanswered questions. This Year of Shattered Sanctuaries story arc continues in Pathfinder Society Scenario #3-16: Escape from Oppara.

This concludes Scenario 3-11 No Time for Treason. If any of you want me to record downtime, go ahead and put it in the discussion. I will report and generate chronicle sheets in a couple of days, and start #3-16: Escape from Oppara a couple of days after that.

I assume everyone is continuing on, although anyone who needs to level can certainly do so between scenarios.

"We know he's not responsible for this. My brother in the monastery has met V-C Muesello. I trust his judgement. Something is going on here. Venture Captain Muesello is protecting someone. Don't worry, Lady Morilla. We'll get to the bottom of this."

Kat is continuing to the next one. The brother she's referring to is Loong Laonu, from Q09, which I think you ran many many many moons ago :)
