He enjoys writing a detailed report for this one. Finally a good result on a mission. And the wedding was a lot of fun, even with the issues near the end.
"I understand they are Sarenrites but perhaps they won't mind and Iomedae and the Godclaw will hear me and help protect their spirits and their remains. If only I knew of a worshipper of the Lady of Graves to ask for her assistance as well..."
Trajan shoots a completely innocent (yeah right!) look at Hamish.
"After all, your fine deeds and words have aided us immensely in this endeavor. Talking information out of the wedding guests to find the Hall of Purifying Flame, barging in and telling them their 'home warranty' was about to expire, bravely taking the damage from the trap, the deft way you handled Samara the Insightful, and all of the inspiration and good hope that you've provided us, the Gods will surely listen to you!"

Trajan advances into the room and goes to confront the non-enlarged person and smites him just for fun.
Double move, he'll provoke from the enlarged Trajan if he has Combat Reflexes or something similar. Swift action to Smite Fairhaven and I guess we'll find out if he has an evil alignment.

Sorry for the extra posting my brain doesn't work so well anymore.
Trajan pauses for a moment, hoping to utilize the local knowledge of Al’Jahar Abu-Targos, and asks, "Is it normal for someone like Samara the Insightful to stop the proceedings without revealing the source of the forged documents? I would've bet money the 'source' is either Raamiz ibn-Chadli or his blasted 'vizier.' Al'Jahar, given the shall we say 'intensity' of the justice system in Katheer, how much trouble would Raamiz ibn-Chadli be in for trying to frame us and, in the process, embarrassing someone like Lady Samara or even the Satrap himself?"

Trajan speaks with the merchant, "Greetings Al’Jahar Abu-Targos and well met. We are honored with the presence of the nephew of a Pathfinder as great as Venture-Captain Targos Min-Katheer. Thank you for the information and if you could provide us with a map or details on how to reach the Chapel of Ubaidah Abd-Hikmah, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm concerned the imposters might harm any guards, workers, or relatives visiting their honored ancestors."
@GM: Any Knowledge check for general information or maybe rumors/stories about what's in/at the Chapel?

@Hamish: The scenario explicitly provides that proving your innocence here can be done through role-playing or through a Diplomacy check, so if you want to save your reroll, you can.
As Hamish has the best collection of Knowledge skills, I'll rely on him and any other PCs to prove the letters are forged.
"I ask again, madam, where would the logic be in betraying someone who could provide insight, information, and contacts into even more relics and items of historical importance? For an organization intent on research and acquisition does it not make more sense for the Pathfinder Society to see to it that Master Bashir al-Mudaris is healthy and alive to assist us in our goals? And while I am no expert in information even I can prove these are forged as no Pathfinder would ever misspell these names and incorrectly identify and use these titles! And just who supplied the Court with these lies?"
#2: Since the executioner isn't actively trying to kill us I'm assuming we can take 10 on Knowledge checks. If so then Trajan would reach a 13 in Knowledge (Nobility) and (Religion) and 11 in Knowledge (Planes) to help identify some of the errors.

Trajan, while wearing his Hellknight Plate, will *NOT* be wearing his helm.
”Good morning ladies and gentlemen of the Satrap's Court. As my fellow Pathfinder Zeldana has so passionately spoken of the events surrounding the wedding, I would like to add my own statement. As a Paladin of Iomedae and a Hellknight of the Order of the Godclaw I cannot and will not lie to this assembly. In fact I would gladly accept any use of divine magic to prove the truth in my words. We were sent here to support the marriage of Farendir Faireven to the Lady of Silver and then to escort the gifts Master Bashir al-Mudaris gave to the Pathfinder Society back to Absalom. One should ask, since Master Bashir al-Mudaris gave the ancient relics to the Society, why would we need to steal them? It makes no sense; one steals items they cannot gain by other means. Similarly why would we plot to murder Master Bashir al-Mudaris? If he has, and is willing to donate, such valuable and ancient relics to the Society, would it not make sense for us to do everything within our power to make sure he remains alive and in good health? I will swear on my holy sword, which I willingly submitted to the Honorable Garahn Min-Omaha, I have never and would never consent to such a heinous act! As for the looting of graves I have not done that either and I am not even sure what graves the madam is referring to or where they are located. And murder? As Zeldana previously mentioned she, Hamish, and myself subdued or calmed some of the lions and the elephant. Because we did so, we missed out on the opportunity to pursue the two men who freed the animals. In fact it was our investigation into those criminals that led us to some interesting information and the recovery, not theft, of some of the relics.”
To avoid an even larger 'wall of text', Trajan will summarize the persons and places uncovered so far in the investigation. He will stress the presence of the Erinyes as proof of the evil-doing of those actually responsible for the theft of the relics.
”In closing it was the Erinyes itself who identified Raamiz ibn-Chadli and stated, and I quote, 'You busy-bodies should have let well-enough alone! My Master will have his revenge on the Pathfinders and the ignorant woman who spurned his affections!' I ask the Satrap, in all his wisdom, to see the truth of our words and recognize it is Raamiz ibn-Chadli and his 'vizier', who now sleeps in Hell, who are the real perpetrators of this crime!”

After speaking with Min-Omash, Trajan waits by the door. A servant brings him a small object wrapped in a towel. Trajan thanks the servant and then asks Hamish and Jaakko for assistance in removing his plate armor.
He rises early in the morning, probably before most of the other Pathfinders, and seeks an area furthest from the rest of the group. He begins the day with prayers and recitations from his copy of Acts of Iomedae, calling for divine guidance in the group's upcoming trial.
Self-violence:
He then turns to another text and prays over it, repeating phrases from the book concerning Order, Discipline, and Mercilessness and finishing each section with the phrase "Righteousness through obedience." When he is done praying he remove the item from the towel - a five-tailed lash. He strikes himself with it as he repeats the prayers until he is finished.

When the other Pathfinders awaken Trajan will again ask Hamish and Jaakko for assistance this time for putting on his Hellknight Plate.
He smiles to each and says, "I just bought this armor. If I am to die I may as well die wearing it. Praise be to Iomedae and the Godclaw for our victory today. Even though neither of you is Chelish I hope you don't mind if I share a common greeting before battle."
Trajan shakes each man's hand firmly and says, "Strength and Honor."

Having thought through the matter in silence, Tabar acquiesces as well. With all the Pathfinders having turned over their obvious weapons, they're escorted through the streets of Katheer and into what, in any other land, might be mistaken for a wealthy noble's extravagant compound. But actually, it's an extraordinarily opulent prison with "cells" that are elegantly appointed with beautiful rugs, colourful tapestries, and plush divans.
The only reminders you have of being prisoners rather than honoured guests is the heavy iron door and an arcane rune on the ceiling. "You will be brought before the Satrap's court in the morning," says Min-Omash. "Please refrain from violence or spellcasting, as doing so will arm the symbol of death on the ceiling. An evening repast will be brought to you shortly." With a respectful nod, he leaves.

Forgot to roll Perception; I was so shocked I rolled a 20 on Diplomacy I almost fell out of my chair. I'll follow Hamish's lead and aid Azelwarred's Perception check; Trajan has a +9 so he can't fail to aid.

Special Abilities:
Arcane Pool (Su) At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells.
At 1st level, a magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +5 at 17th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5. Multiple uses of this ability do not stack with themselves.
Fiendish Resistance Tieflings have cold resistance 5, electricity resistance 5, and fire resistance 5.
Magus Arcana As he gains levels, a magus learns arcane secrets tailored to his specific way of blending martial puissance and magical skill. Starting at 3rd level, a magus gains one magus arcana. He gains an additional magus arcana for every three levels of magus attained after 3rd level. Unless specifically noted in a magus arcana's description, a magus cannot select a particular magus arcana more than once. Magus arcana that affect spells can only be used to modify spells from the magus spell list unless otherwise noted.
Spell Shield (Su) The magus can expend a point from his arcane pool as an immediate action to grant himself a shield bonus to AC equal to his Intelligence bonus until the end of his next turn.
Prehensile Tail Many tieflings have tails, but some have long, flexible tails that can be used to carry items. While they cannot wield weapons with their tails, they can use them to retrieve small, stowed objects carried on their persons as a swift action. This racial trait replaces fiendish sorcery.
Spell Combat (Ex) At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.
Spellstrike (Su) At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. If the magus makes this attack in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. This attack uses the weapon's critical range (20, 19–20, or 18–20 and modified by the keen weapon property or similar effects), but the spell effect only deals ×2 damage on a successful critical hit, while the weapon damage uses its own critical modifier.
Vestigial Wings Some tieflings possess a pair of undersized, withered, or stunted wings like a mockery of those of their fiendish forbearer. Sometimes these wings are leathery, like those of a bat. Other times they are covered with a scattering of black, red, or violet feathers. Rare manifestations can take even more bizarre forms. These wings do not provide the lift required for actual flight, but do have enough power to aid flight attained by some other method, and grant a +4 racial bonus on Fly skill checks. This racial trait replaces skilled.
Traits:
Magical Lineage One of your parents was a gifted spellcaster who not only used metamagic often, but also developed many magical items and perhaps even a new spell or two—and you have inherited a fragment of this greatness. Pick one spell when you choose this trait. When you apply metamagic feats to this spell that add at least 1 level to the spell, treat its actual level as 1 lower for determining the spell's final adjusted level. shocking grasp
Seeker You are always on the lookout for reward and danger. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, and Perception is always a class skill for you.
Feats:
Dervish Dance When wielding a scimitar with one hand, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on melee attack and damage rolls. You treat the scimitar as a one-handed piercing weapon for all feats and class abilities that require such a weapon (such as a duelist’s precise strike ability). The scimitar must be for a creature of your size. You cannot use this feat if you are carrying a weapon or shield in your off hand.
Weapon FinesseWith a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.

Backstory:
A tiefling born to a prestigious Chelish family, Turp was hidden away for the majority of his childhood while his older, human brother was given every opportunity their family's wealth could afford. Turp had a number of private tutors, all of which were well paid for their silence. He might be hidden away, but he was still a Lucretius. Excellence was expected of him, even if the world could not know of it.
During his tutelage, Turp showed he had a natural talent with both magic and the blade. His father didn't particularly notice or care, but his brother did.
Turp's brother, four years his elder, attended a rather exclusive university. He and his classmates had taken up the hobby of underground tiefling fighting, which is exactly what it sounds like: tiefling would be pit against tiefling and fight until only one was left standing, while drunk students placed bets. When Turp was sixteen, he started fighting for his brother in the ring (though their familial relation was not made public). He dominated for a while, glad for the relationship with his brother at first, but the psychological toll weighed him down. These were HIS people he was fighting. He had a stronger connection to them than he did to his family.
One night, Turp was up to go up against an opponent that had cost his brother a fair bit of money in the past. His brother whispered to him before the match that this was to be a fight to the death. He could not go through with it, however, and in a fit of rage, he killed his brother and took off into the night.
Since then, Turp has been fighting for the oppressed tieflings within Cheliax, while also doing his best to avoid his father's wrath.
