Thank you for running this! much appreciated!

Zeldana will volunteer to be part of the interrogation team to find out who this 'ally' is. If authorities can muster truth-magic, she will muster the nonlethal pommel strikes.

"Don't worry Garsita... I just knocked her out for a few hours. Nothing lethal..."

Lasso her up tight and gag her so that no spellcasting is possible. Place her carefully belly first on Winnie's saddle and bring her back to the authorities...

@GM: please add +1 to all my rolls above due to bless; thx!

Zeldana works in tandem with Winnie, dismounting and then taking a 5-ft. step to flank Ouidda.

Zeldana grabs one of Ouiddda's letters and puts it to Winnie beak. "Smell Winnie. Find that smell!!!"

Handle Animal, Track by Scent DC 15, Free Action: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

She then casts air walk on Winnie and jumps on the owlbear's saddle. Standard and move action

Did we have a rest since the boat fight with the lily pads?

I'll be gone until the end of this week. I should be able to resume posting on Friday.

"What they say is true: I was with them the whole time..." adds Zeldana and nodding to a few locals she recognised.

diplo: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (8) - 2 = 6

Zeldana buys a long coat in the military style, with knee-high riding boots, jewelry and gets a hair and makeup appointment before the event. For Winnie, she has a stablemaster put bows and other decorations in her feathers, and braids, where the feathers become fur.

Equivalent of courtier outfit in price for Zeldana; if 'animal decorations' is also a thing in one of the sourcebooks, let me know and I'll buy a kit for Winnie.

"I can't make speeches. I can wait in the crowd and get ready if something goes south?"

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

"Sweet talking cuties like you cannot be trusted, in my experience. We shall hold you somewhere until that next ship arrives, for your own safety, of course... just talking to you now puts a target on your back from the Spider..."

Map?

"Dwarves and other agents graced with nightsight, please go first... Winnie and I will take the rear and only flood the passage with light if a battle breaks out..."

Arriving below, she hands the papers to the elf. "Igor, can you check these for any irregularities?"

Casting Light so that Igor can read

Disable Device: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

"Damned thing almost broke my nail... oh well. Foot method."

STR: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"This is embarrassing... WINNIE!"

Zeldana ties the creature up. "Nasty infiltrators... let's bring him to authorities and start building a case against the Spider. We need documentation... does he have a desk somewhere?"

Zeldana sidesteps to flank Senlokto, if he hasn't gone down yet, trying to add some nonlethal punishment to the mix in case they need him to talk later...

+1 keen scimitar 15-20/x2, power attack, one-handed, nonlethal takedown via Jaguar's Grace slayer talent, ST, Flanking, HASTE: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 15

Winnie probably took a move action to get on the stage, so one attack only even if hasted; however, I'll have Zeldana throw another swing!

+1 keen scimitar 15-20/x2, power attack, one-handed, nonlethal takedown via Jaguar's Grace slayer talent, ST, Flanking, HASTE: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 17

Zeldana flanks the caster with her pet.

Away from computer for next two days... please put my tokens west of the party. Thanks!

Thanks for the summary, which seems to indicate we need to investigate this Senlokto guy, as proposed by Piotr. 'Renovations at the theatre' sounds like he installed traps or locks, and Zeldana can help in that department. She advocates we investigate after hours and quietly break in if need be.

@GM: I'm similarly engaged this week so I'll wait for you to push the action forward when you are back from your conference. I don't 100% understand what's happening and why we need to bring the actors to a safehouse. To me it looks like we have saved these guys from slavery and concluded this part of the scenario. I'm not clear on our next steps going from here... Ttyl.

"Quick! those in heavy armor in the cart! anyone else who can walk normally follow behind on the lily pads!" says Zeldana, loading the dhampir prisoners into the cart and attaching said cart to Winnie's harness. She then hops on the owlbear's saddle, helping the actors climb down from the ship and join the party on the lily pads behind. To the actors, she adds, "Your acting troupe is officially registered somewhere yes? if not, do so promptly when we get to the docks, and I'll stand by you as a witness that this ship here belongs to you guys and was part of your acting plans... for your Cheliax acting tour of course. I can vouch for you with the dockmaster's paperwork and for any statement the city watch requires when we deliver those slavers to the authorities. What you do with the ship after: sell, actually use it for dockside performances, etc. is up to you guys and none of my concern. Understood?"

Zeldana drags the Captain back to the upper deck. "Who charmed these bards, dear Captain?"

Zel looks at Igor. "What's the deal with these bards?"

Zeldana nods to Garsita.

Seeing the Captain surrounded, Zeldana and Winnie begin the task of assembling the knocked out sailors all in one spot. She grabs a loose coil of rope on the way.

Zel and Winnie Out of Combat and tying up sailors.

Zeldana circles around, approaching Pinky from the east in order to flank him with the earth elemental.

+1 keen scimitar 15-20/x2, power attack, one-handed, nonlethal takedown via Jaguar's Grace slayer talent, ST, BS, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 17
magic nonlethal dmg, one-handed, power attack, ST, BS, sneak attack: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 2 + (1, 2) = 18

Zeldana works in tandem with Winnie to take down the orange-shirted sailor, trying to bruise his sword arm with quick repeated strike, using sheer strength and forcing him to block her hammering blows...

+1 keen scimitar 15-20/x2, power attack, one-handed, nonlethal takedown via Jaguar's Grace slayer talent, ST, BS, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 30

additional dmg if crit succeeds: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 17

PS: I've contacted the Garsita's player in Discord to let them know you're waiting for their actions.

Zeldana draws her quickdraw shield and goes over to assist Jilla with her assailant, rotating her weapon grip and trying to club him across the left shoulder with a strong swipe using the back of her scimitar.

+1 keen scimitar 15-20/x2, power attack, one-handed, nonlethal takedown via Jaguar's Grace slayer talent, BS: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 = 30

Additional nonlethal dmg if crit confirmed: 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13

Zeldana slowly crawls unto the ship, trying to avoid detection, and motioning for Winnie to follow.

Climb, BS: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 2 = 32
Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

She approaches the nearest worker and tries to do a silent take down with a quick strike of her scimitar's blunt hilt to the back of the head.

+1 keen scimitar 15-20/x2, power attack, two-handed, nonlethal takedown via Jaguar's Grace slayer talent, ST, BS: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 32 vs. FF AC

If green falls unconscious, she immediately pushes him down towards the party so they can catch him

Zeldana goes over the plan with the group and fits the wagon's harness unto Winnie's shoulders. She greases the wheels of the cart thoroughly with some of her armor ointment (using a good amount on her armor also). She nods as Eredur and Piotr volunteer to offer themselves as distraction on the docks to the south while some of the party will arrive by wagon and lily pads from the north. Whoever wants in on the lily pad train can place their tokens in the wagon; those who prefer the docks can join Eredur and Piotr. The choice is yours! ;)

On the way to the docks Zeldana barkskins, antitoxins and longstriders both Winnie and herself, and then applies feather step, greater magic fang and lily pad stride enchantments on the owlbear. Just as they are about to step onto the docks, she remains a brief moment behind the corner of a building to add bull's strength to both Winnie and herself, completing the magical preparations. Hopping unto Winnie's saddle, she heads down to the water, instructing Winnie to sneak up to the ship from below, using the north docks as cover to hide the approach, and then rounding the end of the docks to the east to return westward north of the Sailswift, using the ship's freeboard to hide their approach from the crew.

Free action to instruct Winnie to Sneak vs. DC 15: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Zeldana awaits the distraction by Eredur and Piotr, keeping the owlbear's head low and motioning for the wagon passengers to do the same. She slowly and quietly unbuckles Winnie's wagon harness...

Stealth, Armor Ointment: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 1 = 19

"Alright then, Eredur. I'll go pickup that cart, then settle for a long supper at the inn. Later in the evening I'll meditate for my spells and then rest before our mission. See you all in an hour. Anyone wanna come cart shopping with me. I've been known... yell at merchants..."

Spell selection:
4th-air walk
3rd-lily pad stride, magic fang (greater), water breathing
2nd-barkskin(2), bull's strength(2)
1st-cure light wounds(DC 14), longstrider(2), touch of the sea(2)
0th-create water, detect magic, know direction, light

It sounds like some in the party are not onboard (see what I did there ;) ) with the floating lily pad 400+ feet 70min self-building bridge. I get it, as Zeldana's acrobatics sucks too, but she evades those checks by way of riding Winnie.

I will therefore not have Zeldana memorize that spell and see to other personal options for Winnie and her. Don't worry about loading Winnie on a boat: she'll be self-propelled.

"In my opinion, it's slow, loud, and they'll shoot us out of the water. The bridge method allows for a quick arrival and perhaps added stealth if some of you can cloak us with illusions or invisibility. I'm also not sure about putting Winnie on a barge or boat. But Master Dwarf: it was merely a suggestion. If you prefer a boat, I'll pray the gods so that Winnie and me have a better swimming, and both of us will follow nearby by way of water..."

"That... or I can attach a cart that Winnie can tow. She's done it twice before while helping at a logging camp. You could all safely sit in the cart. Said cart can allow us to bring back evidence of whatever they were loading unto that ship at night... as long as the cart isn't heavier than Winnie, we're good: the magic will hold. Oh, and the spell will last seventy minutes or so... we cannot just relax while we're there, and we'd have to keep track of time."

Winnie is 1,500 pounds

Light Wagon: Wagons of this type are most commonly employed by farmers and craftsmen transporting their goods short distances or by venders in and around cities. A light wagon carries up to 1,000 pounds of cargo and requires two Medium creatures or one Large creature to pull it; price: 50 gp (Zeldana can buy it)

Zeldana was happy to be back in Almas. On a couple of occasions during the afternoon she stepped out of the inn to reconnect with some old friends in the city. She usually roamed the northern border of Andoran, helping the Eagle Knights with scouting and fighting brigands, but she wasn't without friends and perhaps one ex-boyfriend here in Almas. Also on good terms with the druidic circles of the Verduran Forest, she was also familiar with the Treaty of the Wildwood and had traveled those parts throughout, crossing the borders of Andoran, Taldor and Galt on numerous occasions. Her animal trainer's skills had been prized by many logging camps, border outposts and merchant caravans in the region, as she counted herself as a proud member of the Liberty's Edge organization. It wasn't the first time she brought Winnie to Almas though, but the previous time she did, the owlbear had been just a pup then, and not the now-horse-sized version she had become. It was understandable that some eyes would turn in her wake, but Zeldana made it a point to stop and educate and reconnect with all those who had met with Winnie when the beast was still juvenile.

On her way back to the inn, she thought of something and decided to share with the others.

"I've developed a trick or two with Winnie along the years, and one of them is the ability to share spells with her, and cast things on her that would normally only work on humans, or just myself, and such. I don't think we need to spread the news about us checking that boat in the harbor. I can cast a spell on Winnie that will let her walk on water and create a path of giant lily pads in her wake. As long as you don't stray too far behind, you can all follow on the path of lily pads. They'll support anything that's as big and heavy as Winnie. The path can be a bit unstable, and for those in armor balance can be a problem though... I'd be riding Winnie on her saddle, but some of you who need to be lighter on their feet could probably use an Elixir of Tumbling to make the trip a bit safer. I know, I know... this can be a bit pricy compared to just rent or buy a boat, but unless some of you can make a merchant forget a transaction with some trickster-type memory altering magic, the approach I propose would help us save our anonymity... what say you all?"

"Checking in would be wise, and would allow us to rest until nightfall. I can then meditate on a spell that would allow us not to bother with hiring ferry services..." Zeldana says, smiling and patting Winnie's head.

"We should check out the docks and pay extra attention for any buildings burdened with an overabundance of carriages..."

"If we're talking healing, I got a wand right at my belt here for the deep cuts, and this pouch on the left is filled with berries that you can eat to get rid of minor scrapes.."

Wand of Cure Light Wounds; Goodberry x11

"I heard tales of the wolfkin, and I must say I'm relieved he's not a werewolf," answers Zeldana to Brunhilde, trying to hide her reddening cheeks with the semblance of a professional reply. "Rumors in the northern parts of Andoran say the proud wolfkin sometimes unfairly reap the fruits of the werewolf's bad reputation. That's too bad... and unfair."

Out loud, she addresses Piotr, "You look better now that you've adopted your true form. Don't feel like forcing yourself into a human when we're around. We have your back, and the Andoren folk are an understanding lot."

Zeldana seems taken aback by Piotr's transformation, and asks, "I hope your lycanthropy is not the kind that's catching, or that this will bite us back in the ass... literally..." She pauses for a nod or answer, then continues, "and to answer your question, apparently that Spider's web covers the entire city, BUT the Venture-Captain here is unable to give us the simplest of leads... back to basics, I guess, so let's hit the taverns, ask for information there, and make ourselves gods-damned targets..."

She storms off, not expecting more information from Moldreserva, which she seems to have very little patience for as a sudden.

Diplomacy to assist someone that's asking question when we get to the inns or taverns, trying actively not to punch that someone: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 = 15

"Any intel on where she resides or operates? Who are her known associates?"

"Slavers' market? in ALMAS? if there's such a thing, and you know where it is, then I'm not sure I want to be near you..." says Zeldana, frowning, and her hand subconsciously moving closer to her scimitar's hilt...

Downtime, Militia Leader, Earn a Title, Loyalty Check DC 8: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 (Pass)

"No worries about not meeting at the lodge, Venture-Captain. I completely understand under these circumstances. Winnie and I are more at ease outside, to be completely honest. Say, that's a lot of efforts from that Dorianna to discredit our work here. You're probably right that slavery is providing her with the motivation to oppose us in honest lands like these. Thing is, I think she picked the wrong place to try this, and when the hammer falls, it will fall hard. She must be extra crafty and sneaky to even attempt this here. Say... you don't mind Winnie taking up your scent now do you? in case we later deal with Ouidda trying to impersonate you or using clever illusions? she sounds like someone who would love to turn us against each other..."

Zeldana awaits the Venture-Captain's permission before bringing Winnie close to her to take up her scent.
