Ebiten lay before a giant scroll, his 'spellbook', going over his waza for the day. The bell rang, signifying the time of day, reminding the young prodigy of the coming event.
With a heave, Ebiten jumps to his feet and rolls the scroll up, slinging it over his shoulder. With a quick look in the mirror, he straightens his hair a bit and rushes off to meet the crew!

Is the map working for everyone?
Is the map working for everyone?
Looks like the URL code redirects to the wrong spot (goes to: https://paizo.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/DirectAction/map) -- or at least, it just goes to Paizo for me.
But also, if I copy the Google Docs link, I get a "page not found" error.
Let's see if this works
Yeah, sorry, same issue as before.
So, two things to suggest:
1) I note that the format code you have is "url=maps" and I think what you want is "url=https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bURS_9NVWxtah--P6TuItbAt4KbxlM gF_1f WwdNTU7U/edit?usp=sharing"
2) For the Google Slides, maybe Sharing needs to be set to "Anyone with the link" ?
I do have it to share with anyone with link.
Let me see if just posting it works.

Good catch!! I did not see that.
Yup, the link Aeshuura posted works
HANDOUT 1:
Pathfinders,
Thank you for serving in my stead at Ulthun II’s fundraiser for the Knights of Lastwall at Vigil’s Hope. The
Pathfinder Society has already made its donation to his cause through the purchase of the tickets for this dinner.
You may make additional financial contributions if you so desire, but do not feel pressured to do so.
From my understanding, other members of Absalom’s “upper crust” are in attendance as well, though the
contingency seems to be heirs from well-established houses and the primary members of houses attempting to rise
in status. Please attend and build a warm relationship with these representatives. My experience is that individuals
only become more important over time, so treat everyone with respect.
On a final note—at least one member of the Peacebuilders will attend. This organization has been critical of the
Pathfinder Society, on both valid and invalid grounds. I recommend you avoid interacting with them. Don’t escalate
any conflicts, even if they attempt to antagonize you. You don’t have to answer for every agent’s misbehavior and
many of their larger concerns are best addressed by the Decemvirate and venture-captain leadership.
I hope you enjoy your evening! Please write back with any dietary restrictions or other accommodations needed
to attend, so I may communicate them to Ulthun II and Lady Hesla Embersplitter in advance.
Yours,
Csilla
The adventure begins as the PCs prepare for a
fundraising dinner at the Lastwall Embassy, established
in the Precipice Quarter by Watcher-Lord Ulthun II
(male human paladin). Give the players Handout #1:
Letter from Csilla on page 49, which arrived at their PCs’
living quarters or lodgings yesterday.
The letter comes with a ticket for each PC, invitations for an “Evening Vigil’s Hope is a well-known landmark in the Precipice
Quarter, so the PCs can easily travel to it by foot or by
borrowing a carriage from the Grand Lodge. Before
departing, the players can attempt the following Recall
Knowledge checks before arriving at the party and make
any preparations accordingly.
Society, Warfare Lore,or another relevant lore check to
Recall Knowledge might know more about the Knights
of Lastwall.
If you would like to make a check.

'Long-Leg' Greg ("It's just Greg...") is a quiet, shabby, human teenager who's been slouching about the Grand Lodge, looking annoyed at everything (and, to the more observant, maybe a little bit lost).
Despite the epithet, Greg's only about 5'3, with the broad, square shoulders of a rugby player, and a large square head to match. He looks like someone you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley (and exactly like someone you would meet in a dark alley).
Greg glowers darkly at the invitation (or at anyone reading it aloud), muttering "Great..." in a tone oozing with sarcasm. Parties, nice clothes, and having a bath are not particularly high on Greg's list of priorities. Ditto leaving the house without a weapon.

Grunyar shakes his head as he looks over the invitation.
Ah just what we need
No weapons, just what we need
He goes through the process of cleaning up grooming his beard, and getting dressed in his best cloths. (not the highest quality, but good enough) and then heads over to the lodge to try and catch a carriage from there to the Embassy

"Knights of Lastwall... they don't seem important to me." Grigori says.
Greg lets out an exasperated sigh that drifts into a groan: "UuugghHH!!" Then, muttering: "Who even cares about these guys? Knights of Lastwall, Peacebuilders, friggin' Ulthun, and thrice-damned Csilla. What's the difference? It's always 'oh please' and 'only if you want to' but it's not like you can say 'no' is it?"
The Lastwall embassy of Vigil’s Hope is located within
the Precipice Quarter. An earthquake damaged the
neighborhood more than a quarter century prior, and that
destruction opened vaults that had prevented the undead
from rising. The damage created so many unstable docks,
half-collapsed buildings, and unsecured alchemical labs
that the Grand Council sealed it off to prevent further
damage. When Ulthun arrived in Absalom after the
destruction of Vigil in 4719 AR, Acting Primarch
Wynsal Starborn granted him one of the
more intact buildings as an embassy for
Lastwall. Ulthun named it Vigil’s Hope
and offered the newly sworn Knights of
Lastwall space within it.
As the heroes arrive at Vigil’s Hope, it has recently
undergone a series of renovations that restored its previous
moat and several secondary rooms on the castle’s upper
floors. Unless otherwise stated, its walls, floors, and ceilings
are stone structures, and its doors are made of wood.
As part of the evening, the Knights of Lastwall have
placed exhibits throughout Vigil’s Hope. A recreated
stable in the barbican includes a wooden cutout of a
brown-and-white Lastwall Jasper and informational
signage about the cost of feed, training, and tack, which
amounts to approximately 50 gold per year to care for a
knight’s mount. A donation box is attached to the cutout.

Greg slouches around Vigil's Hope, sticking close to the group. He affects a near constant frown and seeming indifference, while quietly taking in everything. "Hungry. When do we eat?"
When nobody's paying attention, he'll give that donation box a little shake to see how full it might be (or a tap on the side, if it doesn't move).

Since it is Absalom, there is fair mix of different ancestries here.
A diplomacy check might be helpful!
The goblin looks offended as it walks away from Long Leg.

Grunyar mingles, and listens to what people are talking about.
He makes no real effort to join in conversations, just hovers around the edges due to him being a dwarf, in a mostly human gathering.
He does however, take a drink or two over the course of the night.
But he doesn't hear anything worth noting.
