working with him is the fastest way to get rich while
improving her own physical prowess. Now that Zurnzal
is away, the room serves as a holding area for Cetenna’s
pet weasels. When the PCs enter the room, Cetenna spits
at them, cracks her knuckles, and smiles confidently,
revealing a row of canine teeth. “Welcome, Pathfinders.

fight?” She laughs off any suggestion of parley. During
combat, she taunts the PCs, particularly when their

Creatures: Zurnzal’s disciple Cetenna waits here to
ambush the PCs. Her animal companion, Gyrlak, and
a family of giant weasels captured from the nearby
wilderness accompany her. Before the PCs arrive, Gyrlak
hides beneath the ground in room’s eastern archway. He
emerges from the ground in the first round of combat.
During combat, dozens of mundane weasels, stoats, and
other tiny-sized mustelids dart from the cages on the

nip at the PCs, though this has no mechanical effect in

PLAYER’S HANDOUT #1: GUARIL’S NOTE

Pathfinders,
My sources tell me that the individuals responsible for
stealing my cargo are bringing a shipment of my goods into
the city tonight. If we act quickly, we can take them by
surprise, and perhaps learn a thing or two about who’s
pulling their strings. Meet me on the northernmost pier an
hour before midnight, and we’ll discuss our plan of attack.

PLAYER HANDOUT #3: DRAFTED LETTER TO CAPTAIN VAYLORNE

Dear Captain Vaylorne,
After our conversation last week, I’ve come up with a plan that will allow both of us to
get what we want. I will get rid of the Pathfinders who are making themselves inconvenient
to both the Aspis Consortium and to the church of Razmir and make you a political and
religious hero.
First, you send me a list of secrets that would be damaging if they made it into Molthune’s
hands, while I make the substantial gold piece donation to the church of Razmir that we
discussed. After that, I will have a several people walk around town spreading rumors that
Pathfinders are working with Molthune.
With that in place, I’ll contact the people I have set up in Molthune, and have them come
down off of the blockade in the middle of the night. I’ll send some of my friends disguised
as Pathfinders and carrying the military secrets to meet them. Each of them will be
wearing a wayfinder and a glyph of the open road. I’ll dress up one of my halfling friends
as their local leader, Venture Captain Oraiah Tolal. At that point, you swoop in with a
large group of soldiers, kill the Molthuni, and capture the “Pathfinders”. I’ll tell them all
to surrender right away, and you can arrest them. At some point when you are not on duty,
I’ll break them out so there is more to blame on the Pathfinder Society.
Regards,
Zurnzal

Zurnzal,
Your plan shows promise, but it relies too heavily on theatrics over substance. An entire
group openly carrying wayfinders and wearing the Pathfinder’s symbol is suspicious in
and of itself—real Pathfinders rarely try so hard to proclaim their allegiance—to
say nothing of the considerable risk of discovery that you incur when disguising someone
as a known figure in the community. The Molthuni are unlikely to agree to come off
of the ships, even at night, without significant persuasion. Are you intending to have me
assist their journey? What are you planning to do with the real Oraiah Tolal?
As a general point of discourse—when referring to activities that some may
consider illegal, do not use plain language (particularly when you are signing your
name to the document). You impressed me greatly on your last mission involving the
Society, and I am certain you are capable of ironing out the details in this mission.
Send me your next draft for revision.
Your Friend,
MG

PLAYER HANDOUT #4: LETTER TO ZURNZAL

Dear Z,
I have recieved your donation. Blessed are those who open their coffers and their hearts to the
Living God. Those who are sufficiently generous succeed in all of their endeavors.
The information you requested will arrive tomorrow morning in a separate letter. I’ll alter
the patrols to meet your group at the designated time. I can’t guarantee that none of my guards
will be overzealous at the sight of Molthuni, so be sure that your group is quick to surrender and
drop arms.
