Yah, sometimes those second success conditions are very obscure... Looking back, it is even now hard to tell that this was a goal, but a few hints were there...I missed them, of course.

Zarina presses hard on Irith to bolster her resolve on her bid. "Just think of all the good you can do organizing new weapons to defeat undead. You want this property. You need this property. We need you to get this property and do the good deeds you intend to do!" Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"Well, the parties have been lovely. And I concur, there is no need to resort to violence here. The problem here, you see, is that I simply do not trust you to pay the gold you claim. No, maybe if you were willing to pay some up front, I could tell you about Passad's plan to take the wharf, but until you do, I am not saying anything!" Zarina grins as she looks to the others for nods of approval. Bluff: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

"Based on his bidding and my conversations with him, I think that Vayde Petronax will continue to bid on the Scriptum, and it sounds like Passad is entrenched. We should concentrate on the others at the next party, I think."

I think I mentioned I have that chronicle with Zurnzal. Zarina looks at the tentacles and decides it just isn't worth the risk. Instead, she takes the opportunity to get close to Vayde Petronax. [b]"I am fascinated by religion and religious ceremonies. Can you tell me a bit about your tenets, and how they would apply to a situation like this? And really, what sort of interests in trade would someone like you be interested in? Diplomacy to find trade interests: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Zarina tucks her tail between her legs and decides to go talk to a friend. Capitalizing on her previous good discussions with Temel, she tries to discover what are of trade most interests him. Knowledge: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 Having an off night!

Knowledge(Planes): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Zarina picks out a most unbecoming outfit, and tries to sing a little ditty to explain herself, but it is clearly not impressing anyone. She slinks away, and tries to find a different costume to disguise herself.

"As expected, Myrosype is looking to take it all. I think perhaps I can help get Temel to put his money behind a bid, but we need to figure out which property might best suite him. Now Irith, she is looking to get into the weapons that are effective against undead. Might be the wharf, or the storage facilities, could most interest her."

Sorry - I have had a bear of a week, and this scenario had SO muck to read and digest, I just haven't had time before now to catch up...took me over 2 hours! Knowledge(planes): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Zarina recognizes Vayde as the patriarch of the Petronax family, who have provided most of the soldiers and laborers who defend and upkeep Alabastrine since its founding. She asks around to see what more she can find about the man. Free discovery check

"Temel, your place is gorgeous! Classy, and so much of cultural and botanical interest! It is so kind of you to host these festivities today. Whatever happens, I do hope you make out well in the bargain." Knowledge(nobility): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 Missed

Zarina bats her eyelashes as she speaks top the band. "Yes, hello! We do enjoy a nice travel, but these folks seemed intent on doing us harm. We didn't enjoy that much, I'll tell you. If you would be so kind as to take care of them for us, we would appreciate it!" Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 "I hope we are not too late for the auctions."

"Looks like we will be the bandits this day," Zarina exclaims as she gathers up the gear. "These potions will come in handy, and I'll bet one of us can make use of this magic oil." --- Zarina looks over the map with interest until the soldiers are spotted. "Do we hide? Or simply present ourselves?"

Does inspired courage increase magic missile damage? Zarina continues to inspire the troops. As she does so, she moves into the fray, using her whip to provide Miriel aid with her target. Aid vs AC 10: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Zarina notes with mild interest the fact that some of their numbers are taken aside, but then pays it little mind after that. "Fine clothing... yes, that might be useful! My costumes may look the part for a performance, but anyone with a taste of the finer things in life would see through them in a moment!" Zarina will join Miriel, likewise spending 30gp on a courtier outfit and another 50 gold on various accessories.

Zarina hears Nerisiel singing, and jumps in with some harmony. Lovely! We can be a troupe! Zarina has olive skin and very colorful silks, with many bracelets and large hoop earrings, looking much like a miniature gypsy. "I am ready for a mission! My first seemed so lame, but in the end, it was very exciting! I, somehow, became the saving hero of the day! We were all quite surprised, but it happened just the same." Zarina has 2 prestige from her first scenario, so she will use it to acquire a wand of cure light wounds.

Sorry, I am out. I totally got confused between games, and just started Penumbral with a different core character. (I mark them down as I start, so didn't notice the overlap until I went to check in and the description was TOO familiar.) I suppose I could play for no credit, but if someone else wants the spot, they should have it.

I am going to be scarce for the next 3 days. I might check in from mobile, but my posts will be few and far between until Monday. Thank you for your patience!

Are you talking for this level 1 run? Shades of ice is going to take some time to complete yet. They are close to done with part 2, but he may want to continue with part 3. If not, that's ok - but I still think part 2 is a week or more to finish up, unless they get really lucky and the paizo boards stop failing so much...

If it helps any, Zarina is a halfling bard that uses a whip for aiding others. She has little offense herself - although her first mission (the Wounded Wisp), she was the last party member standing, and luckily the only opponent left was a mage who was out of spells. Took like 5 rounds for one of them to finally put the other down! It was rather sad... Still, I think she has promise!

Zarina, now realizing that becoming a bard is not just about telling stories, is still ready to tell a doozy! "Mr. Dreng, I don't know if you knew what we would find or not, but that bottle of wine contained a rare vintage - a story of loss and intrigue, and a treasure trove of information that the Society scholars are sure to find interesting. You may have sent some fresh recruits, but I tell you know, there are the makings of some exceptional heroes joining your ranks." She is beaming with pride. "The Wounded Wisp, it seems, is where it all began for the Society, but it also contains untold secrets! In a back room, no longer in use, there sits a bottle of some rare wine, which allows one to open a hidden chamber full of foul creatures (ok, so they were just bats - let's not dwell too much on our performance there) and voices from long ago." "Selmius Foster, a famous Pathfinder, documented many of his adventures - tales for another day - and also detailed an unfinished investigation he had been pursuing before he died: the lost records of a Society agent named Eylysia. Sure, we should have probably brought this straight to you, but being Pathfinders now, we were eager to investigate. Our leads took us many places throughout this grand city, including the house of a rather interesting illusionist, who left further clues for us to follow. And a magic coin, buried with a Pathfinder so that only a future Pathfinder would find it, contained another piece of the puzzle, and so on until we recovered these lost documents from Eylysia - hidden in a secret chamber within the Shrine of the failed Aspirants." Zarina barely takes a breath. "It was all ours, to review and recover lost secrets, when we were set upon by some bandits calling themselves the Asspiss Consortium - a rather unfortunate name, if you ask me. They were strong and deadly, but by working together, these great heroes to be," she motions to the party, "were able to escape certain death, and save the documents for the Society. I give you now, Ulena the Brave... Bryzagle the Sly... Dimira the Colorful, without whom we would have all certainly perished... and of course, Rendala the Zany! Her humor lifts other's spirits when they needed a boost, and her jokes... well, some of the material still needs some seasoning, but no less so than the rest of us!" "Really, I should write a song about this..." Suddenly she looks up, realizing no one may even still be listening to her. "Um, well... sorry, but we did fail to retrieve your bottle of wine..."

"Whew!" Zarina looks around, and finishes off the thugs with their own weapons. Then she searches her companions for a wand of CLW and proceeds to heal each of them.

Zarina stares in disbelief as she continues singing, wondering if there is anything she can do to stop this caster. With limited options, she simply fires another arrow. 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12 Darn it!
Sorry guys...
