The characters travel to Mechitar to seek an audience with Geb, where he
appoints them as the nation’s newest Blood Lords and assigns them to serve
as honor guards for visiting ruler Kortash Khain. The characters are also
awarded a place in one of Mechitar’s aristocratic tetrahedrons, but must
ensure that the previous tenants didn’t leave any nasty surprises behind.

Chapter 3:
A Plot of Poison
CORNERING KEMNEBI
At the end of
Pathfinder Adventure
Path #183: Field of Maidens,
the
characters learned that Chancellor
Kemnebi, leader of the Blood
Lords, orchestrated the plot to ship
poison into Geb and other nations.
Unfortunately, the characters
don’t have any proof of Kemnebi’s
involvement and don’t know exactly
how far the chancellor plans to go.
The characters have come to Geb
with a summons from the ghost king
himself, and they might worry that
their investigation and Geb’s request
are connected. These events aren’t
related—Geb has simply identified the
characters as useful agents capable of
dealing with a visiting dignitary.
However, the characters’ newfound
stature provides them with a unique
opportunity to learn more about
Kemnebi’s plan. Their titles grant them
the freedom to move about the city
of Mechitar and uncover treacherous
secrets others might not be able to
learn. As their investigation concludes,
the characters face off against one
of Kemnebi’s most ruthless agents: a
Blood Lord named Hyrune Loxenna.
While this adventure takes place in
Mechitar, comprehensive descriptions
of the city have not been included
beyond presenting key details that
affect the plot significantly. If your
players wish to explore Mechitar
further, more information can be found
on pages 140–157 of
Pathfinder Lost
Omens Impossible Lands.
To provide
basic details, Mechitar’s stat block has
been reprinted in this book on page 75.

Kortash Khain sends the characters to the lair of exiled Kabriri cultists with
orders to excise the rot from his faith. The characters must travel to the
Tower of Gnawed Bones, a site once used to prepare skeletons for animation
that now houses a fractious cult with devastating plans for Mechitar.

As their fame as Blood Lords increases, the characters become embroiled
in a public scandal when a shipment of poisoned food results in violence
on the waterfront. The characters must investigate the source of the poison
to clear their names, culminating in a trip to an Urgathoan cathedral where
damning evidence awaits discovery.

The characters challenge fellow Blood Lord Hyrune to a contest of violence
in the Deathless Arena. After they win, Geb strips Hyrune of his title,
enabling the characters to track the vampire down in his secret lair and
discover where the trail of conspiracies leads next!
“The Ghouls Hunger” is designed for four characters. Players should
