Alexei can hear the distant sloshing of water and a low, muscular howl. The hole itself drops further down than a simple light source will show him. K. Nature DC 18:
It's hard to be sure, but that howl could be a bunyip - a magical creature that is a cross between a seal and a shark. They like to congregate around shores, shallows and sea caves. They are very dangerous predators. -Posted with Wayfinder
The thistle tunnel opens into a large cavelike chamber. Above, the thorny canopy grows thin enough that tiny slivers of the sky above can be see, while below, the ground consists of trampled dirt. To the west, the distant sound of sloshing waves echo up from a hole. -Posted with Wayfinder

The 4-foot high tunnel winds through the dense briars and nettles. The floor is hard-packed earth, with patches of wiry plants growing stubbornly here and there. While the ceilings and tunnels consist of tangled, thorny vines. Even Beromar must stoop low and move cautiously in order to avoid being shredded by the hideously sharp spines. He comes across 3 branching tunnels. Survival DC 12:
A large object was recently dragged along the tunnel to the right.

A series of vicious attacks from the Band is enough to drastically reduce the numbers of the Ubashki. Despite this the remainng cats seem eager to continue fighting but are cowed by Koshukhep's growl. The few remaining cats disperse and run past the Band to exit the tomb.

The sheriff stands and bows stiffly. "I shall leave you to your preparations then. In the meantime, I have duties to attend to." He turns to walk out, but Ameiko, stops him dead in his tracks by saying, "Sheriff, do please be a dear and tell Kaye I won't be able to make it to the poker game this week." The Sheriff stiffens as he says, "I am not your courier." "Of course, I only meant if you should happen to run into her," she said with a playful smirk and a wink. The Sheriff says nothing as he walks out. K. Local DC 15:
"Kaye" could refer to Kaye Tesarani, the owner of Sandpoint's brothel, the Pixie's Kitten. -Posted with Wayfinder

"I kept to the roads. I was attacked by bandits, but nothing else. I expect Shalelu to return soon. She likely could better inform you about giants. I can tell you that generally they are more often found in the north." -Posted with Wayfinder
The Sheriff's face twists into a disgusted grimace. "No. The authorities in Magnimar were -- sympathetic," he says, spitting out the last word. "But they said they could not spare any guards for a few weeks. In short, we are on our own." "I have spoken to the mayor already. She has informed me of your plan to defeat Nualia and her Goblins at Thistletop. If I had the guards to spare, I would send them with you or go myself. But -- my hands are tied." Ameiko came in with a large mug of water, and the Sheriff drank it down in a single heft. "What I can do is pay you for your troubles." The sheriff pulls out a hefty sack from his belt and drops it heavily on the table. The familiar clink of coins is unmistakable. "For your actions in town while I was gone. And for your expedition tomorrow."

Kwin meanwhile manages to trace the mechanics of the torch switch back to the staircase.

Djehuti recognizes the bronze urns as the type used by priests during mummification. They are made of brass and probably weigh about 200 pounds each. But they are devoid of any symbols. In fact this room itself seems a bit unfinished. -Posted with Wayfinder
Ameiko happily sets food and drinks before the Heroes. But unlike the times she usually leaves you to your business, she takes a seat at your table with her own glass of wine. "Hope you don't mind. I just had a visit from my father's lawyer. It has me a bit on edge." "It's good to hear that you boys took care of that well you mentioned last night. The idea of something that evil sitting underneath the town was upsetting to say the least." -Posted with Wayfinder

The room is unfortunately devoid of any valuables. And so the Heroes descend further down the crypt, taking the southern staircase. Perception DC 25:
A rather ingenious trap is built into this staircase. The trigger is at the top step, but the trap is set at the bottom. Meaning it would hit a would be thief as they left the tomb. Spikes would emerge from the walls at the top of the stairs, trapping the thieves in the tomb. -Posted with Wayfinder
Emboldened by the heat of her mate, Suri attacks the Adherer with her claws. But this time, they find purchase and rip the beast's neck to tatters. It gurgles and moans and then slides slowly down the wall - dead.

I was informed by Paizo a long while ago that they had already changed it for you, Zen. Are you sure you can't modify it already? -Posted with Wayfinder
When Viroleth stumbles into the well water, the other heroes brace themselves for his screams of pain. But the rogue is perfectly fine. The we'll must indeed be drained of its sinful magic.

I agree. But I would wait until you guys hit level 3. Which should be soonish, actually. -Posted with Wayfinder

Suri claws the beast dealing a little more damage. Enraged, the Adherer strikes her back. One of its blows strikes her in the face, purpling her jaw.

Loges senses magic comimg from the entire room. But he focuses on the wand and feels the familiar tingle of evocation magic. He studies the aura for a moment and concludes it is ripe with lightning magic.

"Just a scratch," says Viro mildly as he clutches a vicious gash in his arm.
Loges doesn't detect any magical signatures in the room. And Viroleth doesn't find anything of worth in the room. Listening in on the southern doors doesn't reveal much either. -Posted with Wayfinder

By the way, did you guys ever figure out what to do with with that haunted ring of prorection? -Posted with Wayfinder
Izra and Djehuti discover the remnants of guard uniforms on the corpses and theorize that they are the source of the haunt. They believe that giving them a respectful burial should let them rest. -Posted with Wayfinder
Alexei finds a flight of stairs that leads to another door. He goes through this door as well, but only to find a circular stairwell that leads up and up. But the way forward is blocked by rubble. Narrow fissures provide air, which proves that this stairway must eventually lead to the surface somehow. -Posted with Wayfinder
Djehuti figures out that in order to destroy the haunt on the gate, the gate itself must be sprinkled with holy water, repaired and secured.
Haunt of the Foyer, K. Religion DC 25:
The skeletons in the Foyer require a proper burial. -Posted with Wayfinder
The crafty rogue dives underneath, slicing the fiendish head a new smile. Then Beromar stomps down on the creature, and it explodes like an overripe melon.
