Summary
The PCs are dispatched to the Spice Markets of Sedeq in Qadira to aid Venture-Captain Yasmin Kal’al in obtaining four exotic Osirian artifacts—statues that give the wielder the power to summon and control swarms of vermin. They are given the name of the man, Chaim, who smuggled the artifacts out of Osirion and the necessary
information to track him down in Sedeq. When they catch up to the smuggler they find him already dead, felled by Grandmaster Torch’s half-orc henchmen. With
their one lead severed, the PCs must turn to Torch, who fortuitously has the information they need—the names of the four men who bought the statues:
Nasir Tandir, a cowardly merchant from the Overmarket who’s mostly paid up with the local protection racket;
Viraj Arpani, who leaves them with a giant centipede when his magical escape inadvertently activates the artifact he’s carrying;
Buri Buri-Ban, an invisible Gurundi monk who holes up in a flammable spice refinery;
Saldin Marafi, a wealthy merchant ensconced in the notorious Secure Market, nearly impossible to enter with weapons or magic.
Location: Games Garage
Pathfinders:
Lv 7 Tiefling Inquisitor - Anferno
Lv 6 Human Rogue - Venino der Flinke
Lv 6 Human Fighter - Theodore "Real Man" Rohan
Lv 4 Elven Wizard - Baiyun
Lv 6 Human Hexcrafter - Kalara
Lv 6 Dwarven Fighter - Gloin Greenbeard
Actions of note:
Baiyun the Sly - Attempted to trick Grandmaster Torch by claiming a normal dagger with an aura on it is magical. Unfortunately, the bodyguards with Torch knows that magical daggers must be masterwork weapons.
Anferno the Infiltrator - Successfully managed to convince Belal Al-Sarif that he is working for a rival gang and that the present territory is now under the joint banner of the 2 gangs. Unfortunately, Baiyun and Kalara require that Belal is hurt, hence spoiling the hard work of Anferno.
Real Man Rohan the Cleaner - Beat up a low-level enforcer who was attempting to take a piss at the corner of the building. Reason? Because he doesn't like people peeing on the streets.
Rohan the Rapid Grappler - Possesses the uncanny ability to tackle a particular target in the middle of the streets successfully.
Rohan the Slayer of Monstrous Centipedes - Slew the mother of all centipedes within 6 seconds, and the monstrous centipede is HUGE. Read: Gargantuan. Kudos to Real Man Rohan!
Gloin Greenbeard the Restrained - Restraint from killing anybody outright by using blunt arrows to "non-lethal their behind". Also subsequently take gloves out in what appears to be interests in cavity search in captured prisoners.
Party: The party successfully flanked Buri Buri-Ban by overtaking him after Baiyun successfully cast a Glitterdust spell on him just as he became invisible, thus causing him to be blinded. Buri Buri-Ban was bashed to unconsciousness after attempting to somersault past Theodore Rohan. Bad mistake, Buri!
Party: Party worked in excellent co-ordination by having Baiyun and Theodore distract the shopkeeper and his assistant while the sneaky Venino filched the Secure Market License. With excellent perception, Baiyun also spotted the statue that the Pathfinders are supposed to recover even though the statue is well hidden. Baiyun subsequently ran off with the statue and called the guards to assist the party which leads to...
An investigation of Theodore Rohan.
Theodore Rohan was investigated as the rest of the party fled, while the experienced monk guards at the Secure Market, arrived in 2 rounds. Knowing that the shop owners are legitimate, having a shop there for years, Theodore was finally interrogated under a Zone of Truth spell in which he managed to successfully answer the questions posed to him. Ultimately, he was released on bail for 500 gold pieces, which the cost was shared by the party.
Conclusion: This is indeed an adventure of Pathfinder villiany but one in which the party performed exceptionally well and with considerable restraint given that NO body died in the scenario. (Huge and Gargantuan Centipedes as well as Large Scorpions are not counted.)
