“

After the incident in Sarkoris, Hesla has returned to Absalom seeking refuge and support from her friends in her time of frustration and fury. Meanwhile, the Pathfinder Society leadership has been able to piece together her ultimate plan, as well as her unwilling, tangled history with the Deskaran Cult of the Screaming Grub. In order to ensure the safety of Absalom and Golarion at large, Zarta Dralneen has researched a ritual to ultimately destroy Riftcarver, Deskari's scythe, and sends the PCs out into the city for assistance. However, while finishing up, they're confronted by Hesla, who demands that they stay out of her way of putting down every last demonic cultist.
