The Pathfinders have been summoned to Macridi, where Ambrus Valsin awaits their arrival at the spartan townhouse of Marivit Kopje, a Kalistocrat with extensive mining operations in the area. Marivit is a tall, androgynous human, wearing the austere white that characterizes the followers of the Prophesies, and they have a perpetually sour look etched on their thin features.

A ratfolk steps in, dressed in leather armor. "Oh.. I'm Nykor. Used to be in the depths and now come to the surface to do research and find out things! I can do various things and know a bit about mines!" You hear a squeak coming from somewhere, but he keeps the source hidden.

A grey-furred vanara with a rust colored face steps in carefully and eyes the Kalistocrat. He bears no obvious weapons, only a backpack and tightly cinched keiko'gi.
"My name is N'Aranav. I am Pathfinder magi." he states bluntly.
Mechanically, he is a laughing shadow magus, who bites and punches.

What appears to be a large, golden-scaled dragon squeezes into the townhouse, though on two legs most other Pathfinders. The others may have heard of this species - called dragonkin, they are said to hail from another planet entirely. This one at least has gear typical to Golarion, though - a breastplate, crossbow and adventurer's pack, all seeming a bit to small, adorn his frame.
However, while one might expect him to be majestic, he is more morose. "Good day," he begins with obviously forced cheer. "You can call me Zak. This is my first job after... well, after joining the Pathfinders, so I hope you'll all show me the ropes. My other half, Mark, will make an appearance when he sees fit, and not a moment before."

You see a buff kitsune walk in.
Greetings everyone. My name is Kaida. I have come over all the way from Tian Xia and have only been a Pathfinder for a very short amount of time. Oh, don't be surprised if I turn into a bear on ocassion either. It's just Kaida doing Kaida things, you know.
Bard 2 | Hero Points: 1/3 | Active Conditions: None | Speed: 25ft Human HP 24/24 | AC 18 | DC 18| Fort +4, Ref +7, Will +7 | Perc +7, Low-Light Vision |
A dirt-stained, but bright-eyed human walks into the room, followed closely by a lion cub.
"Oh hello friends. I am ever so excited to be here. I've never been to Druma before! I am Deosil and this is my companion Ruith"
Deosil points to the lion, beaming with pride.
"Before we joined the Pathfinders, we worked for a circus that burned down under mysterious circumstances. Lots of people said that we were cursed, so when you have nowhere else to go, the Pathfinders will always take you in, right?"
Deosil pauses for a moment, as if considering something for the first time.
"We aren't supposed to know things about mining to have signed up for this mission, were we?
"Ha!" Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin points at Deosil, clearly about to say something, but then forgets what it was. "How about everyone takes a seat first?"
He waits in the starkly furnished lower floor of the Macridi townhouse, standing next to an androgynous figure fully covered in crisp white. “I would like everyone to meet Marivit Kopje, our patron in this expedition. I’ll let them explain your mission, and if it involves mining."
Marivit perches at the edge of their chair, looking vaguely dismissive even as they assume control of the conversation. “In my research on optimizing our mining operations, I came across several mentions of a planar key connected to a rather specific demiplane. The logistics are unimportant to you but make a great deal of difference in efficiency with our mining concerns. I thought it was wishful thinking at best; this key seemed too good to be true. Especially since the extent of what I found mentioned Shimia Renveld.” Marivit’s characteristically sour look darkens. “Shimia. A disgrace to followers of the Prophesies even if she did meet the bare minimum of obligations. Nevertheless, I thought the rumors of her collection hidden away in a vault were merely that.” They brighten, becoming nearly animated as they talk about the discovery. “Shimia’s vault was a myth... until I heard what my miners found while they were excavating new exploratory tunnels, I would never have believed it existed, nor that the key was anything other than wishful thinking. Now I know—and naturally, my competition will know in short order, as well. Miners aren’t the best at keeping secrets.” Marivit’s expression once more hardens. “That’s why I’ve asked the Pathfinders to take care of this. You have a certain reputation.”
Ambrus nods in acceptance and adds, “The Society will also benefit. There may be cultural artifacts and a great deal to be learned from a long dead Kalistocrat’s collection, and Marivit has accepted our offer to preserve this knowledge. You will be mapping the extents of the vault to aid in that work. You’ll also be cataloging the contents, particularly anything unusual or noteworthy. The more, the better. I know the Grand Archive wants things as extensively cataloged as possible, and those in the Envoy’s Alliance want to make sure any threats have been dealt with before our scholars enter.”
Marivit quickly adds, “Time is of the essence. I need to stake my claim on this vault and find the key or someone else will.” They eye Ambrus. “But prepare yourselves well. It’s no good if you cannot complete your mission.”
You know rumors that Shimia's vault holds a diverse array of curiosities, but the key is most likely among similar gadgetry.
Nykor, Kaida Suki:
You heard rumors that there are quite a few items of real value buried within Shimia's vault; it is rumored that Shimia was shrewd enough to balance her desire to collect things with the demands of the Prophesies and to hide them behind items of lesser value.
"I hear there's some items really valuable inside..." Nykor says. "So... what do we get to keep? Anything in particular you're really looking for?"
"I want you to find the key." Marivit says. “I’m sure it’s there. Ambrus has assured me you will discover it, if it is there. My findings are crystal clear: if it isn’t in her vault, it doesn’t exist. As for where in the vault, I cannot say.” Ambrus adds, “Shimia seemed to have some kind of organization. It may be with other gadgets and similar curiosities. You’ll have to figure it out once you’re there.”
Marivit adds, “You can keep what other items you find. Such things are of no use to our operations. Ambrus has already arranged for the Pathfinder Society to catalog and house the excess. I’m sure he can tell you more.”
The stern venture-captain explains, “Most of what Shimia collected is of cultural interest to the scholars in the Society rather than helpful in your work as Pathfinders. However, the priority is to recover the key and map the vault. Whatever tools and items you find to be useful, take them. There’s no sense in tucking them away in a museum if they’re still practical. Take notes and map out the vault’s interior so we can send in the appropriate specialists.”
"Do any of your stories indicate what dangers we may face either in locating or infiltrating the vault?"
Marivit sniffs, “Oh, there’s the danger of excesses, of course. Too many frivolities in one place leads to disorder and instability. The miners like to spread rumors that it’s haunted, but I don’t believe that. Those who follow the Prophesies should leave no such thing behind.”
Everyone begins with two hero points each. If you wish to buy something, you have the chance before you leave. Also, don't forget to get your Pathfinder Provisions.
Ambrus produces a box that contains provisions. "Just get what you need and you can leave for the mission."
Moving on...
After preparations are completed, Marivit meets the party once more at their townhouse to start them on their journey. The guide, a gruff dwarf wearing a sour expression similar to Marivit’s, says just enough words to get her point across and only answers the most essential questions with anything more than a grunt.
The dwarven guide doesn’t introduce herself, nor does Marivit introduce her. She eyes the party skeptically. “Pathfinders? Let’s go.” Outside, a carriage waits, its dark curtains pulled shut. “Don’t open these. Strict orders.” The journey takes several days, possibly more time than is necessary due to the many twisting side roads. Breaks are monitored closely, and it seems like the guide wants to make sure the group isn’t being followed. When the carriage finally makes its last stop, the guide hurries to a nondescript mine entrance, barely waiting to catch a breath. “Don’t dawdle.”
The vault is deep within the mine, a few hundred feet down and well off the main shaft. It appears relatively disused, and the tunnel ends rather abruptly at a hole breaking into a hallway of worked stone. Thick, ominous webbing crosses the opening, making passage through even more difficult. Two miners guard the entrance. “Careful. There are definitely spiders in there—big ones, too. Glad they’ve got someone to clear this place out, so we can get back to actual work.”
The guide glares at the guard for chatting before handing off a lantern. “You’ll need this. Go on. Good luck.”
Who takes the lantern? And how others are handling the darkness inside before you enter?

Zak is willing to hold the lantern, since he hopes to not be fighting hand to hand, though it may be less helpful from his spot at the back of the line.

Deosil will stick close to Zaxy, as he has no natural ability to see in the dark.
"I do have the ability to summon magical light if people would like a second source of vision"
He takes a scroll of runic weapon as his provision.
Once the group has decided their preparations, the Pathfinders enter the vault through the entrance.
Thick strands of spider silk cover the walls and cross the opening of the hallway, obscuring the view inward and slowing down exploration. Past this veil, the carapaces of various insects, small animal bones, and molted spider husks litter the floor. It’s eerily quiet, with only an occasional skittering betraying the presence of large spiders within.

Immobilized :
You are incapable of movement. You can't use any actions that have the move trait. If you're immobilized by something holding you in place and an external force would move you out of your space, the force must succeed at a check against either the DC of the effect holding you in place or the relevant defense (usually Fortitude DC) of the monster holding you in place.
◆ Escape (attack) :
You attempt to escape from being grabbed, immobilized, or restrained. Choose one creature, object, spell effect, hazard, or other impediment imposing any of those conditions on you. Attempt a check using your unarmed attack modifier against the DC of the effect. This is typically the Athletics DC of a creature grabbing you, the Thievery DC of a creature who tied you up, the spell DC for a spell effect, or the listed Escape DC of an object, hazard, or other impediment. You can attempt an Acrobatics or Athletics check instead of using your attack modifier if you choose (but this action still has the attack trait). Critical Success You get free and remove the grabbed, immobilized, and restrained conditions imposed by your chosen target. You can then Stride up to 5 feet. Success You get free and remove the grabbed, immobilized, and restrained conditions imposed by your chosen target. Critical Failure You don't get free, and you can't attempt to Escape again until your next turn.

Apologies, was very sick very suddenly yesterday
Deosil will begins by singing an Courageous Anthem And then will attempt to make it linger
Performance:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15. Failing to do that, he commands Ruith to move over to flank black and attack
I forgot to include in the combat tracker the saves from Yellow's Swarming Bites
Deosil sings but the effect to encourage will not linger that much. Ruith flanks and bites Black, tearing its head off its body. Black outRedirecting the arrow... to Red, he shoots but the arrow sticks to the crack of the stone column next to it.
Delaying Kaida...

Once cleared, this room enables access to the rest of the vault. They can see a juncture ahead of them. This juncture is the center of the vault, from which paths branched off in the four cardinal directions: the entrance to the east, where the Pathfinders first entered, perhaps more rooms to the north, another behind some doors to the west, and the south is now blocked off by rubble after about 15 feet. A bronze statue of a male human points north; the hall is otherwise unadorned. It’s very quiet, with only a few faint sounds coming from portions of the inner rooms.
You will have enough time to heal/refocus before you continue. While you are doing that, where would you like to go next: North to check more rooms, or West to check what is behind the door? Two votes to go. See MAP.

Deosil looks anxiously at the door in front of them, and then peers down the hall.
"I don't like how that door is looking at me, we should open it, but quietly"
As they walk in the eastern hallway approaching the central hub to reach the door, a figure appears after with a shout.
“Thieves! Leave this place!” echoes thunderously within the stone halls. The figure seems to be not attacking the Pathfinders but his weapon is ready.
You must convince him otherwise with some options below:
DC 17 Diplomacy check to Make an Impression to convince him that you are here to save and protect Shimia’s collection
DC 15 Deception check to Lie to make a convincing case that you are somehow related to Shimia or otherwise legally entitled to the spoils within
DC 19 Intimidation check to Coerce to shock him out of his assumptions
Other skills are allowed as long as appropriate to the situation at DC 17, or DC 15 if you are creative.
You may attempt any check more than once, but you cannot critically fail, and must succeed at 3 such checks before failing 5 for him to be completely convinced. A critical success counts as two successes for these purposes. Everyone is up!

All my related skills are the old knowledges. Is there some way to determine who or what he is (i.e. would Nature, Occultism or Religion be more likely to sway him?).
