The boy snatched up the copper piece and ran off, leaving Jin Feng to read his letter.<br/><br/>As it turned out, Heidmarch Manor was located in the Alabaster District of Magnimar, not far from the city's easternmost gate. Located atop the rise of the Seacleft, the three-hundred-foot tall cliff which cut the city in two, the Alabaster District was the richest and most prestigious district in the city. The manor grounds were surrounded by a stone wall, but the front gate hung open during the day, welcoming visitors to the first Pathfinder Lodge in Varisia.<br/><br/>Nothing seemed out of the ordinary as far as he could tell; it was a normal manor, lived-in and well maintained, with the usual complement of staff and guards one would expect for such a place. Shortly after he began his vigil, an attractive half-elven woman dressed in leather armor and armed with a distinctive-looking mithral-and-redwood aklys (a hooked club attached to a cord) and a bastard sword arrived at the manor and was granted entrance.<br/><br/>(https://i.imgur.com/wRor74p.png)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">DC 18 Knowledge (dungeoneering or local)</div><div class="spoiler_body">Jin Feng recognizes Koriah Azmeren, one of Varisia's most famous Pathfinders and a well-renowned expert on the Darklands.</div></div><br/><br/>A few minutes before the appointed hour, a second visitor arrived at the manor.<br/><br/>(https://i.imgur.com/DvxlOaM.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>It seemed like the real deal, and the gender ratio even appeared to favor him. When he entered the mansion himself, he was greeted by an impeccably and mannered butler in the foyer. "Welcome to Heidmarch Manor, sir. Lady Heidmarch is meeting an unexpected visitor at the moment. May I tempt you with a glass of wine while you wait?" Right on cue, a maid stepped out bearing a glass and a bottle of fine vintage.<br/><br/>The house's mistress was apparently meeting with the red-headed half-elf, because the blonde was waiting in the foyer too. She gave Jin Feng a curious look, appraising him. Finally she introduced herself, "Abigail Charos. I'm a Pathfinder from the Cheliax lodge."
