@Everyone: The four squares with the red jagged bursts are the squares with the fiery oil. If you move into or through one, you'll need to roll an Acrobatics check and you'll also take fire damage.
@GM: I guessed about the map; I'm in an AP where we had 'fire squares' in a burning building so I didn't have Trajan do any fire dancing here.

Trajan moves into the building and swings his sap at the Yellow Goon!
Sap, Power Attack, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 221d6 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 + 2 = 11

What would low-light vision do vs. the dim light? I'm not sure if Zeldana is in the front or at the back door; they haven't been on to post yet so I don't want to assume.
Trajan will nudge Hamish and use hand signals to point out number of people and side of the room they're at.

Hamish the Bard wrote: Hamish nods and whispers a reply, ”solid plan, I’m in. Let me try talking first. They may just surrender…”
He holds his shield high, not expecting a surrender at all.
If everyone agrees with the plan, he will go pound on the door after looking for obvious dangers (sniper in the window, pit trap under the welcome mat, etc…).
[dice=Perception + GH]d20+5+2
Trajan backs up Hamish and, mindful of the situation, has his sap drawn rather than his nodachi.

I appreciate the aesthetic of the smaller text but it's tough for my goony eyes to read so I'll have Trajan whispering in regular size text.
Trajan whispers to the others, "There's smoke coming from the building and a door around back. We need to split up and some of the group cover the back to make sure none escape. Who'd like to go in the back?"
#2: We should maybe have Jaakko, Zeldana, and Winnie go to the back door while the rest of us take the front? With his plate there's zero chance anyone isn't hearing Trajan short of a Silence spell.

No longer chuckling, Trajan is definitely laughing.

GM Jhaeman wrote: Found on the outskirts of Katheer, among the stench of slaughterhouses and tanneries, nothing about the 'Hall of Purifying Flame' suggests purity. Poorly patched cracks meander among the decaying brickwork, running up from the structure’s uneven foundation. The hall’s many windows have been bricked up or boarded over. Above the hall’s iron-shod door sags an illegible, weather-beaten sign.
We'll say it takes about half an hour to get to the building. Please adjust buff durations accordingly.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Trajan looks for any signs, including noise, of the building being occupied.

Zeldana Bordana wrote: "Judge, jury and executioner! how many other skills do you possess I wonder?" replies Zeldana, rolling her eyes with exaggerated indignation. She feeds Winnie a goodberry, before popping one herself. She passes the bowl to the rest of the party, even Trajan, adding "Eat one of these magic berries: it will fill you up. I'm guessing we no longer have time to attend the wedding's feast..." "I've been told I'm a graceful dancer for someone wearing plate armor. Of course I'll take a goodberry..."
Trajan briefly lifts his visor, pops the goodberry into his mouth, and then says, "This is quite tasty what's that afterta...coughs...I think she poisoned me!"
It's readily apparent from the shifting of his plate armor that Trajan is having a good chuckle.

Just remember, this may not be the mastermind of the whole deal.”
He heads out with the group towards the hideout.
He will activate Longstrider (1hr) and False Life (8hrs) as previously rolled. Anyone who can activate it and wants to use a charge of Longstrider is welcome to it. You need it on your spell list or to UMD it.
"I'm just venting. Ideally he'll confess to his crimes, name whomever directed this plot, and face the local authorities. I wouldn't expect the mastermind to get their hands dirty; they rarely do and often exploit others to carry out their foul agendas. I knew I shouldn't have paid attention to events, food, and such at the party; I'm mad at myself more than anything else."

GM Jhaeman wrote: The Pathfinders split up to look for clues, tracks, and ask questions. With so much chaos and confusion, the first two ideas don't turn up anything valuable, but the third route of inquiry hits the mark. One of the drovers recognizes the man who released the lions: Hakir Half-Ear, a pox-addled caravan guard believed to belong to an unsavory brotherhood of dervishes called the Fraternity of the Unforgiving Fire; the grim band meets at a location known as the Hall of Purifying Flame on the outskirts of Katheer. Trajan thanks those who provided the information on Hakir Half-Ear and the Hall of Purifying Flame.
"We should hurry before he and his other accomplices escape. Half-ear eh? He won't have a head when I'm done with him!"

Trajan sighs and mutters a prayer to Iomedae, "How helpful; are we sure he's a Pathfinder?" Shaking his head he continues, "Jaakko's idea has merit but which guests do we start with? Plus some have run away during the chaos. I'm at a loss."

Hamish the Bard wrote: Hamish puts his hand to his face, "Dammit, Trajan was right about the party going bad. That hurts more, really."
He calms himself with a deep breath and leans in to reply, "Ok, we can fix this. Maybe. We will get them back. Any idea who might have taken them? Someone who wanted to void the marriage maybe? Any places we can start looking?"
At Hamish's acknowledgement of Trajan's prediction, the large Hellknight shrugs his shoulders, "I'm starting to think it's me...Anyway, we need to find local sources of information who might have some leads. Obviously there's a significant number of suspects as there were no shortage of people and organizations who did not want to see this marriage; we need a way to narrow those choices down. It's unfortunate we weren't able to catch either of the accomplices." Turning to Farendir he says, "Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated."

Zeldana Bordana wrote: Zeldana looks back at Trajan with an annoyed expression, saying "Maybe you can just carry the lion ALL THE WAY to its cage, seeing that you clobbered it into unconsciousness already. I have no desire to CALM A LION when it wakes up hungry, bruised, and battered, if you don't mind me saying, Sir from Cheliax Sir!"
It was no secret at the Grand Lodge that Zeldana and many of her fellow freedom fighters from Varisia, Andoran's north, and the Verdurant forest had no desire to make friends with Hellknights, let alone take any orders from them...
She handed the elephant's reins back to its master, and instead turned to her own wounded friend, applying healing to her liberally.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
There goes the only 20 I'll roll...
Trajan's face is inscrutable since it's covered by the visor of his helm. "I'm not a 'Sir' in Cheliax; just a simple Paladin and Hellknight. Better the lion be bruised and battered than dead. I have no doubt the local authorities would have killed the lion rather than taking it alive."
If Zeldana looks closely she'll see the insignia of the Silver Crusade on Trajan's Wayfinder...

GM Jhaeman wrote: Trajan and Hamish rush out into the street. With their Pathfinder training, it's not long before they track down the wild lion and subdue it, ensuring the safety of nearby civilians!
We'll handle that narratively off-screen, and you don't need to expend any resources for it. (I completely support paladins needing to see things through. One time my Oathbound Against Fiends paladin was playing in a PFS scenario that had angels and demons fighting far to the distance in a scene. It was supposed to just be background colour to the (unrelated) main mission, but my character was duty-bound to intervene :)
After sapping the lion and carrying it back with Hamish's help, Trajan goes to Zeldana and says, "Perhaps you can calm it like you did the elephant - once it wakes up. Good Hamish is correct; the lions aren't evil, they're just hungry. The real criminals are those who unleashed the beasts on the guests."

Possibly but a vicious beast rampaging against unarmed innocents is the kind of things Paladins don't go, 'Ah sucks to be them' over. As I wrote earlier if the module says they get away (like the culprits), then they do.

@GM: As a Paladin, Trajan would be loathe to have the lion be 'someone else's problem.' If we're 'box texted' into that being the case just let me know; otherwise Trajan will be off into the streets to chase the thing down.

Trajan moves forward, drawing his sap into one hand while carrying his nodachi in the other and attempts to strike the mauling lion.
Sap, Power Attack, Inspire Courage, Flank: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 171d6 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 + 2 = 16

"Trajan! Do what you do best, bring some Order to this Chaos. That's why we brought you. Or it was your fancy armor. Either of which are imminently useful!"
Inspire Courage continued as a free action.
He casts a spell, holding the glowing energy in his hand and rushes over to help Tabar. With a flash of light the spell is released, mending some of the mauled ratfolk's injuries.
Cast CMW for 2d8+8, held charge, move, release charge healing Tabar.
"And for Pharasma's sake, someone stop at least ONE of those culprits!!!"
"I cannot leave Tabar to be eaten by the lions! Jaako, Azelwarred, stop him!"
Trajan gestures with his head towards the culprit nearest them Yellow Fellow and charges into the midst of the lions, drawing his nodachi along the way.

Apologies, sometimes my brain doesn't work correctly. I forgot you asked those not participating in the battle to make Perception and Sense Motive rolls.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
#2 And I didn't even check the 'GM Dice' spoiler to see you made the rolls for us - doh!
Trajan gently grabs Hamish and Jaako, the two Pathfinders he's familiar with, and gestures to the guard by the menagerie, "I'm in full plate and I'm not sweating that much; something is amiss."
As he finishes speaking he begins to head in the guard's direction while checking to see if Tabar and Azelwarred have noticed the same thing.

Handwaving to a servant Trajan spoke with earlier, the young lad presents Hamish with his exceptional quality drums!
A Paladin arranged for a 'theft'? Oh the horrors!
Nodding towards the warriors Trajan tells Hamish, "I believe they need some dramatic music to set the mood. Show em what you've got!"
He then starts encouraging the guests around them to cheer and goad Hamish into performing for the crowd!

Hamish the Bard wrote: The bard, on the other hand, is moderately comfortable with the wedding. It was a beautiful service and the reception is amazing. He enjoys himself quite a bit, and after trying to drag Trajan into a good mood*, flits about dancing and socializing quite a bit.
*"Hey Trajan, come on. Lighten up. What are the odds that TWO parties in a row end horribly? Why don't we just aim for a hangover and worry about the stuff in the morning. They probably just want us to keep it safe from bandits on the way home. I'm sure nothing will go wrong here at all, so lighten up and enjoy yourself!"
Having adequately performed a few of the ones he knows, Hamish heads off to chat everyone he can up and gather random intel.
He also looks to catch the priest who officiated for a chat.
Trajan silently intoned blessings and prayers from Iomedae and the others composing the Godclaw during the ceremony, hoping to bestow even more divine assistance upon the happy couple. The only outward symbol Trajan is doing anything are his fingers moving from one 'claw' to the next on the large symbol engraved in the breastplate of his armor.
Once the ceremony is complete he attempts to remain with the other Pathfinders mindful that, while it is a party, they have duties to attend as well.
Listening closely to Hamish he replies, "Bear in mind I'm Chelish from the losing side of the Civil War: we have trouble believing things will go well." as he chuckles. Still he does enjoy some of the food and drink as he doesn't know when, or if, he will ever be in Qadira again.
He also attempts to help Hamish with his information gathering:

After reading the missive, Trajan folds it up and tucks it into his gauntlet.
"Good catch Hamish; we might've had to supply you as a wedding present for your bardic abilities!" as he nudges Hamish.
"I need to find an armorer capable of putting a shine so bright the heavens will see it."
Trajan will look for a temple of Iomedae in hopes they may know of someone qualified for the job.

"Pardon me Venture-Captain Cassomiran but I have never met or even heard of Farendir Faireven. Are we supposed to meet him before the wedding? As for attire I was hoping to represent not only the Society but also my Hellknight Order - the Order of the Godclaw - and wear my armor. Would that be allowed? If it isn't I do have clothing and jewelry I bought to attend an opera in Taldor although that event devolved into a rather gruesome battle..."
Trajan frowns in thought of all the social events he's attended for the Society that turned into a desperate fight...
Turning to Hamish, "It's a wedding with political overtones. It's a given someone won't be happy the bride isn't marrying their son, brother, nephew, or someone else close to them."
sounding more Hellknight than Paladin
"Eternal vigilance is the price of order..."

“You are also for equal rights for all races and beings, right?!? Right!? All power for humans is not your slogan, right?!?“
The scrawny Ratfolk with dark brown hair and black eyes sits on a riding dog with a military saddle. The dog looks like a mixture of a black wolfhound and a mastiff.
Around Tabar’s neck a pendant with the holy symbol of Chaldira Zuzaristan is clearly visible.
”This dog of mine is ‘Sag’ ... " Tabar says very fast with a friendly smile on his face that suddenly fades away.
Trajan nods at Tabar's speech, "Indeed all creatures shall be judged equally under the law."

Speaking to Hamish he says, "Sir Damian did promise us a fine meal while we were at his estate so no stealing of food and wine was required."
Turning to Jaakko, Trajan says, "And well met to you again Jaakko! Our last mission was quite the desperate one; that Shoggti quipploth was a strong enemy. But we prevailed over the fiend in the end."

Heard long before he is seen the clangor of an individual in full plate armor 'introduces' the next individual to enter the room. Perhaps alarmingly to some - it's a Hellknight! Few in the Inner Sea would fail to recognize the distinctive and menacing armor: gleaming, black, with curves and spikes everywhere. The Hellknight lifts his arm to point at the elf in the silver breastplate, "YOU! You're the one I've been looking for! Did you really think your crimes would escape our notice? Your theft of...one cigar! shall be punished!"
Lifting the visor of the helmet, Hamish recognizes the face of the Paladin/Hellknight with whom he dined at the manor of Damian Blakros!
Trajan shakes Hamish's hand, grins, and tells him, "Sorry if I startled you but I thought I'd try out the new armor."

Freaking awesome and can't wait to try them out when I'm of level... if that happens :) Anyone else here have any of the level 3 to 7 Year 5 modules left to play?

Trajan will thank VC Jorsal for his kind words, "Indeed we must remember the fallen and keep not just their names but their words and deeds in our memories. I will endeavor to become stronger in my faith, repent for my weakness, and not fail our comrades next time."

Dexter and Salazar wrote: Dexter will help bury or carry the dead, putting off concerns about Salazar’s body until then.
When it is time to finally go he answers Trajan’s offer, ”There is a sacred place to us. A hidden glade near our home that we would often take the day off to just go relax. He would root for mushrooms and we would forage in the woods for food. I think… I think that would be a nice place to lay him to rest. I would be happy for the assistance getting him home though, thank you.”
"I would be honored to accompany you to take Salazar home."
Kneeling by Salazar, Trajan says more prayers for him. Then, in a move that would likely shock many crusaders, Trajan removes his tabard bearing the insignias of the Hellknights and the Order of the Godclaw, and gently places it over Salazar. Perhaps more shocking is when he draws a cold iron longsword and lays it across the tabard.
"Even without a sword he was a warrior; I salute his loyalty and courage."
