Female Human Rogue (Scout/Poisoner)6 / Red Mantis Assassin 2

You approach closer and realize it is Synthia "Blood Scythe". She is a newly appointed member of the Vernai. She takes you through the cavern until it stops at what appears to be an opening and a dead end, though you know better than to assume the path stops here. These caverns are filled with hidden passages.

In the opening stands nine other members of the Vernai. All cloaked in ceremonial red hooded robes. In the center is a man bound and gagged and appears to have been beaten. You recognize him as a local go-between for contracts.

"This man conspired against us. After some torture and magical compulsions, we have learned his secrets. It appears our services are no longer appreciated by the local cult of Nethys. We will send them a message." She stands the man up then steps back.

There is chanting in the room from the Vernai that echoes, and builds. Then suddenly the chamber is filled with large red preying mantids. They swarm fill the chamber in a swirl of red death. The man's screams can be heard through his gag as they leave only bones and fatty bits on his corpse.

"We will take his body to their temple. Their priests will be able to see what we did and know our anger. They will taste fear knowing we are coming for them, but it will make your job a bit more difficult. " Synthia looks at you intently.

"But if you truly are favored by He Who Walks In Blood, than it will just be a routine contract. It so happens that the priests of Sarenrae also have an issue with the local cult of Nethys. The church would never hire us directly, but a zealous follower of Sarenrae has had enough. "

She sleeps you a piece of paper with the mark's name on it and where and when he can be found. Father Dado. Bazaar during the day, hut behind the main church of Nethys in the center of town at night. Make a display, but do not be caught. Give him the Red Blessing.

You understand that you are now dismissed and have your task ahead of you.

Hmm, could be. The Sczarni have gained in influence lately, rumor has it they have even infiltrated the Pathfinder Society. However, I happen to have an idea on why they wanted to speak with you. The dwarves you conversed with have been infiltrated by the Bloody Barbers. I believe their missing Captain is their doing. Samuel offered you a job, I bet they wanted to see if you were in with them or with Samuel and the loyalists. Milax finishes her drink, then calls Synthia over with a look. I had Synthia follow you, I wasn't sure how determined the Barbers would be for vengeance and I wanted someone to have your back. Synthia here has worked for us on many of an occasion, but she is part of another...guild.

The woman dressed in red and flaunting her affiliation with the notorious Red Mantis assassins offers a simple nod to the group, then looks at Aeadon. I do believe that is a fine weapon you have there, it looks familiar to me. May I see it?

Aeadon:
Don't you dare! I have a bad feeling about her. She wants to damage me or worse! Io yells in your mind and seems to be affixed to your hip tightly.

Synthia is sitting at the bar. She seems to be looking at Aeadon as he sits down.

Aeadon:
Once again Io speaks to you in your mind. Now there is someone I could have gone without seeing again. I hope you are on her good side. She disarmed me from my previous partner, not an easy task, and I have not seen him since. I think it is fair to assume I will not see Xander again.

Keep it in the Arena Noro The very large giant humanoid growls from across the room.

A woman dressed in red eyes Noro from across the room. She approaches the party sharing drinks. As she stands you can see two wicked sawtooth sabres crossed on her back and a pair of daggers at her hips.
Not bad, maybe I will see you in the ring before too long. She nods to Noro. She turns to Gerrik. Can I buy you a drink? I like my men bruised.

Knowledge Local DC 15:
This is Synthia "Blood Scythe". She represents the Red Mantis in fighting events all over Golarion.

Hana, Gurney and the Troops leave. You all decide to go look for the others. You only make it a few blocks when you find them engaged in combat with a woman in Red Hair, wearing a Mask of a Mantis, and wielding a wicked looking Sawtooth Sabre.

Greysov:
Not yet, you can ask for more specific directions once you reach the surface. I am wanting to reunit everyone so I will assume you are doing that

After a bit of dilly dally with Venrich and the mutant corpse you all finally catch up to Karrick. You finally get to the Surface, and the word on the street is there is a large troop of riflemen camped outside the doors to the ruins. Everyone except Greysov hurries to get there, but attempts to remain hidden. As you approach the troop up ahead behind their formation, you see three woman with redhair and skin tight red suits, two of them have masks on that look like a mantis, and all three of them have swords like the one Venrich gave you.You over hear part of a conversation as they quickly stroll by He wasn't with them, it sounds like he tricked them and left. We need to get there first

Attempting to whisper, but failing due to madness, Venrich says quieter than usuall, but still loud enough to hear a block away That is them. I KNOW ITS WHAT I SAID THEM IN THE RED HAIR THE FIERCE WOMAN!

Looking at Venrich the woman with out a mask says Take care of them, we need to catch up with him.

A fierce woman eh? AH yes I remember you, survived the fall did we? Well how fortunate, I'll take back that sword now. The woman crouches with a Sawtooth Sabre in one hand and a curved dagger in the other.

Greysov:
You ask for directions to the Tavern, and you find Samuel Reidford. When you give him the Star, he immediatly begins barking orders and leaves the Tavern. You leave to meet back up with the others.


No problem I understand hesitance to going with an Evil character. If it's any consulation I do not intend to play overtly so and will attempt to hide my true nature when ever possible.
