Dr. Watson draws his rapier and moves a bit inside.
Dr. Watson moves into the room with sword in hand.
The fuchsia-tinged hyena lunges forward, snapping its jaws at Josheb in an attempt to drag him to the ground.

He draws his other axe as he slashes down at the hyena in front of him with Limbrender.
He is benefitting from his raging song this round.

Hakon stop singing, as he answers Josheb's question.
"We should verify for sure whether that's an illusion of the gnome or the gnome himself. Once we're ready to open the door be prepared, as I doubt the only trap he had set were those beasts that give us the warm welcome."

Yep... Barts follows the others to check in on the "gnome". He must have been a good illusionist for his tricks to last this long...if he is in fact dead...don't they tend to fade away when they die? I'm not sure how some of that magic works...

"It depends. He could have established a long-term spell in case he was going to be gone for extended periods of time to fool people and his spells were tied to something which has endured. Notice how the magical trap activated even though its been dormant for who knows how long."
@GM: I apologize again its been about a gazillion years since I've played an arcane caster with Spellcraft. Sombra would try a Spellcraft to learn what the summoning spell was:
If it is an illusion, which you definitely suspect it is, it would most likely be created with a programmed image spell.
The group decides to open the door to the study to check on the "Fimbrik" inside. As you step into the room, the gnome moves about, browsing his collection of books. However, no matter what you do to interact with him, he doesn't respond at all. It's clearly an illusory image—likely created to give the impression that Fimbrik still lives here.
You all automatically succeed at Will saves to disbelieve, since you all can deduce it is obviously an illusion.
Thoroughly searching the study, you don't find anything of interest. All of the books are mundane. No wizardly spell books or magic scrolls are found throughout the collection.

I think Sombra meant the spell that summoned the 3 hyena. ;-)

Then scans the main hall for coins as well.

"If he has such a coin do you think he would have hidden it away or hide it in plain sight? It seems you can never tell with illusionists."
No coins of any kind, or notes, or anything of importance can be found in the study or living room.
The group moves to the northeastern door.
You open the door...
And find it's not trapped.
This chamber contains enough chairs, pillows, and desks to accommodate at least six visitors. An examination of the table in the southwest corner reveals a neatly penned letter (Copied & Pasted in Campaign Info, also on slide 11, and spoilered below). Underneath the letter is a hastily scrawled note in similar handwriting, which simply contains the name Doulgonlir Caskmail.
Sitting on the windowsill is a long-forgotten potion of cure light wounds and a potion of lesser restoration.
FIMBRIK'S NOTE:
Well, you got me!
I’m not here anymore, and my house is filled with an incredible array of illusions to discourage the curious. But you just had to break in. I respect your gumption and assume you’re either a petty burglar or someone looking into Eylysia’s affairs. I’ve left Absalom to look for my friend, for she’s been missing for some time; however, I’ve attached the name of a particular Pathfinder you’ll want to investigate at the Wall of Names at the Society Grand Lodge. I assure you, it’s quite important, but I’ll leave you to figure out why. Oh, and the password. It’s ‘Wiffle.’ You’ll find it important, should you learn where to use it.
While you are all perusing the note and chatting, suddenly a figment of Fimbrik enters the meeting room and sits in a chair to read a newspaper. The illusory gnome responds to any attempts to get its attention by smiling and giving a tip of his hat towards the window before continuing to read.
Once again, auto Will saves to disbelieve.
The image lasts for about half an hour before disappearing. It appears sporadically throughout the day.

”I believe someone mentioned one of those was a potion of healing. I seem to be leaving plenty of blood behind here of late and could probably make good use of a healing potion. As to the letter, we need to take it. I’ve never been to the wall of names but I’m hoping it’s not so full that it takes us days to find the name. We should probably check the rest of the house. If he left two potions behind, why not three or four.” Josheb says as he walks back into the main hall.
You all decide to check the final room; the main bedroom...
A bed and desk occupy this room. A thorough search of the bedroom and main hall turns up nothing of interest.
Stay for a pillow fight? Lol. Jk.
If you want to know about the programmed illlusion in this room:
At night, a programmed image shows Fimbrik peacefully sleeping in his bed with two muscle-bound men standing watch. These illusions do not react to any actions.
With the house fully searched, and Fimbrik's notes in hand, the Pathfinders head out.

Created in 4330 AR, the Wall of Names stands as a solemn tribute on the western edge of the Grand Lodge’s grounds in Absalom. This sweeping monument of black glass curves like a crescent atop a quiet, tree-shaded hill—its reflective surface capturing both sunlight and sorrow. The trees offer a hush of privacy, a natural sanctuary for those who come to remember the fallen.
Etched into the obsidian-like glass are the names and dates of death of every Pathfinder lost in the line of duty since the wall’s creation. Most entries are accompanied by a brief inscription—either a proud record of the agent’s greatest triumph, or a stark account of how they met their end.
It takes nearly an hour of careful searching, tracing name after name with your eyes and fingers, before you find them—the three Pathfinders from Adolphus’ notes. Doulgonlir Caskmail, Hollis “Evil Grin” Thorne, and Karina Clamp. Beneath each name lies a short epitaph, carved in graceful script.
