context (such as in a specific room), you may assume
that PCs automatically succeed on further attempts

attempting a check would add to the tension of
the scene or the fun of the players. If the PCs

A3. KITCHEN TRIVIAL

In the kitchen, a wide variety of chopped herbs and ground
spices sits out in small bowls upon the table. Cookbooks lie
open on the table as well, and a dusting of flour coats the
21580187 724954
work surface. Everything seems in place for the cooking of

a delicious meal, and it appears that at least four dishes are
cooking simultaneously. Things are getting out of hand on
the large oven and cooktop along the western wall: Pots
are on the verge of boiling over, and hot oil sputters in
frying pans.
“I can smell food cooking, but where is it? The pots look
empty!” Geltra stands in the doorway and keeps a tight hold
on Ruffles, who is attempting to flutter into the room to scoop
up some caraway seeds.
“I think we should stay outside,” Hari replies. “We’re not
chefs. We don’t belong in here.”
“But how will we find the secret ingredient without going
in, Hari?” The kobold sighs, wracked with indecision.
Hazard: The cooking food has shifted out of phase

alongside the PCs. While it may splatter and burn the
PCs, the students are in no danger. The PCs can use their
culinary skills to finish cooking the meal and allow the
students access to the cookbooks in the kitchen. On their
turn, instead of attempting to disable the hazard, PCs can
encourage the students to stir or adjust the temperature
of dishes by successfully using Communicate from
Beyond, granting the next character to attempt to disable
the hazard a +1 circumstance bonus to their check, or a Hari
+2 circumstance bonus on a critical success.

with it.) For every successful disable attempt on the trap,
it loses an action.

Handout #1: Chaperone Information
Thank you for agreeing to accompany our class to the Woodsedge Lodge! Students have been preparing for this trip
for several weeks, so they should be very familiar with this information.
Field Trip Rules

• Students are guests at the Lodge and should show courtesy to Pathfinder agents and Venture-Captain Armeline
Jirneau.
• No horseplay except in the battleground, and then only under the supervision of chaperones.
• Students have full run of Woodsedge Lodge, other than the restricted section of the library, where sensitive
documents are kept. Remind students that the restricted section is off limits, and do not allow them access for
any reason.
• Under no circumstances are unaccompanied students allowed in the Maze of the Open Road.
Class Assignment
Students are to complete the following tasks as a group to show that they have gotten something educational out
of the trip:
• In the Main Hall: Identify an artifact with a significant tie to Taldan history.
• In the Kitchen: Speak with the chef to learn the secret ingredient in Woodsedge Pie.
• In the Battleground: Document three combat techniques frequently used by Pathfinder agents in the field.
• In the Library: Make note of the most common type of document in the Galtan library.
Reliable Students
While any student in the class should be happy to assist you, the following are particularly responsible:
• Alec Gracekin (he/him): A tall, dark-haired human from Ustalav. Alec is helpful and friendly. He often volunteers
to run errands for me!
21580205 724972
• Geltra (she/her): A kobold from the Sewer Dragon tribe. Geltra is quiet, but dependable. She has permission for
her pigeon familiar, Ruffles, to accompany her on the trip.
• Hari (they/them): A studious half-elf from Osirion. I’m sure they’ll be full of questions about the trip and about
you! Hari is very focused on their academics and is usually the first to volunteer during class discussions.
• Tels Olsen (he/him): A sturdy redheaded changeling human. Tels is the captain of our ruk team and a quiet leader.
He watches out for the younger students and often gives them good advice.
• Vim Moneymaker (she/her): A talkative Katapeshi goblin. Vim probably knows as much about the Pathfinder
Society as you or I! She writes letters to Ambrus Valsin once a week asking to start her training.

Handout #2: Scrambled Plaques
The following plaques are meant to label artifacts on display in the Main Hall, but they have been separated from
the artifacts.
Plaque 1:
I twinkle and gleam
Gentle light I supply
You’ll make a wish when
I streak down from the sky.
Starfall, 4350 ar
Plaque 2:
What could be lurking
Across the neighbor’s field?
Put me to your eye
It will soon be revealed
Skywatch, 4698 ar
Plaque 3:
I can’t make you honey
Or unlock a chest,
But I share the same name
As two from my nest.
Companion to Stavian I
Oppara, 4580 ar
21580206 724973
Plaque 4:
I have never galloped
Through glades or past trees
If I swish my white tail
I move through the seas
Whitethrone, 4713 ar
The following artifacts in the Main Hall have places on their display stands for plaques:
A. A yard-long spiral horn embellished with emeralds and rubies
B. A taxidermied owlbear posed threateningly by the door of the lodge
C. A polished bronze spyglass
D. A fist-sized lump of pitted metal

Handout #3: In Case of Planar Emergency
Reminder! Arcanists from the Grand Lodge have warded the entire grounds with a Material Failsafe ritual in order
to contain possible damage from extraplanar anomalies related to the Maze of the Open Road. Triggering the
protections of the ritual is a straightforward process, but requires the following focus items:
• A pitcher of water
• A steel shield
• A large lodestone
To achieve maximum ritual potency, bring the focus items as close as possible to the center of any extraplanar
disturbance. Grasping the focus item firmly, speak the activation word, “Narven.” To avoid accidental triggering
of the ritual, simultaneous activation of all three focus items is required, so please coordinate carefully with fellow
staff members. Focus items may need to be activated as many as three times to firmly re-anchor the area to the
Material Plane.
A handwritten scrawl in the margin notes: “I have stored the lodestone in my quarters so it will not be misplaced.
“~A.J.”
