Apparently, a portion of Manaket's sewer system is under construction and has been left covered by only a few planks of wood since the Godsrain. After two weeks of wear, they're ready to collapse.
Akame, Argoni and Deroff (I'm assuming Luci's kind of riding him) suddenly notice something odd with the sidewalk and step around some boards. Everyone else doesn't catch this in time.
With a crash, Miladistra, Johnny and Jun-Mei step on the rotting boards and drop 5 feet into a septic tank.

The party also gets 1 Awareness Point for not defeating the hazard

"Besides, we're making great time, and no one is noticing what we're doin'"
Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Deroff whines as Miladistra misses the obvious pitfall. She manages to catch herself, but it does call some attention to her.
"Ah, don't worry about me! I can take care of myself!"

"That was almost very unfortunate." June-Mei wrinkles her nose at the stench emerging from beneath the rotted boards.

With no smelly encounters, you make it to the laboratory. When one of you knocks on the door, you receive no reply, though you can hear shuffling and movement inside.
So how would you try to convince the occupants to open up for you?

Jun-Mei knocks softly. "We are expected, sent by the Mother of Medicine. Kindly open the door so we may enter."

Retcon
Venture Captain Obo hands you one half of a set of Slates of Distant Letters. In the event you manage to disable any members of the Pure Legion, you can send Captain Rufah a message and she will come pick them up.

"Look I understand that you're scared but we're not exactly inconspicuous here and if you don't open this door soon the pure legion is likely to notice us and you'll lose your chance to get everyone to safety."

The door is cracked open and an frazzled woman, who appears to be the leader of the group, answers the door.
"Finally, someone comes. I am Misgenia Rohzali." She introduces the other students to you (Art on Slide 3).
"I suppose thanks are in order, for being willing to do this. Sorry if we're not exactly good company right now, it's been a… hard few days." The young woman sniffs and wipes a cheek with her shawl before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "I'm afraid we're not ready to leave just yet. We, well, we haven't finished packing. It's hard, you know, to know what to take when you know you're… you're probably never coming back."
You need to ingratiate themselves with the students while helping them pack, as earning their trust will make the journey to the docks easier. This encounter lasts 4 rounds. Common skills to Discover what influences each student are Perception and Society. An additional Lore skill is also presented as an option. In general, the order of DCs are Lore, Perception, Society respectively.
Aymn has pure golden skin and solid red eyes, giving them the striking (and very noticeable) appearance of a golden statue set with rubies. Two additional sets of eyes, which only ever partially open, are set at tilted angles above and below their regular ones, one pair adorning their cheeks and the other on their forehead.
Discovery: Fiend Lore
Missi is a scrawny dark-haired trans woman who has chosen not to take a serum of sex shift. She wears a modest headscarf and shawl of similar style to her mentor.
Discovery: Golden Road / Rahadoumi Lore
Though he’s lived in Rahadoum most of his life, short-cropped hair and a beardless face betray Faarax’s M’beke heritage, as does his colorful clothing. His very dark chin is adorned with a blue henna tattoo in the same style often worn by Kassi Aziril.
Discovery: Academia Lore
Talha’s broad shoulders and army-strict posture give her the impression of having been carved from a single block of jade—she stands as strong and sturdy as a stone. There’s a distinct comfort to her strength and steadiness, an air of protection that helps the people who see her believe that everything’s going to be okay.
Discovery: Orc / Mwangi Expanse Lore
Zayyaan is a lean, wiry Shemtej catfolk wearing only loose pants and an open vest. He keeps his tawny mane long, brushed down, and braided with beads.
Discovery: Catfolk Lore
Yezza is a wide-set Shaikim lizardfolk with thick, rough scales in a mix of earthy grays and browns. Her head is crowned with a frill of spikey “horns,” and two paired rows of matching spikes run all the way down the length of her spine and tail.
Discovery: Iruxi Lore

Luciola tries to get to the nearest window. She taps softly attempting to get someone's attention.
I think the P.L. would not be using someone like me. She also turns her glow green.
GM Tiger |
If I make any mistakes with the Influence system, go ahead and correct me. This is the first time I'm running one.
Miladistra |
"Howdy, ya'll." Miladistra enters. "It's not easy leavin' home. But you can take a piece of home with ya."
She moves up to Yeeza. "I'm Miladistra. This is Deroff. He's pleased to meet ya." She pets him and he sits up and hangs out his tongue.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
"So what are you packin'? Focus on something you'll regret keepin' here."
There are often some skills we can always use to Influence, like Diplomacy. Miladistra will try to discover the skills we can use to calm them down.
GM Tiger |
I'll allow diplomacy as well. If your Diplomacy is higher you can change it, though that 2 won't do you any favors! :)
Miladistra |
Well, I rolled already to Discover. And yeah, I don't think I'll move the needle with that roll.
GM Tiger |
Luciola follows on Deroff, while still shining green. She too will Diplomatize.

Who are you diplomatizing?
GM Tiger |
Luci discovers the following about Misgenia:
Misgenia
Discovery (Lore): Golden Road / Rahadoumi
Influence:
* Diplomacy (easiest)
* Medicine to distract her with discussion of mortal healing
Resistance - She’s protective of her friends and doesn’t take kindly to people who are mean to them. Using Intimidation on anyone but Zayyaan will have negative consequences
