A Matter of Reputation is a Greybor quest in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

Journal[]

“ Vices are the forces that set intelligent society into motion. Greed, indolence, lust, and anger are the horses that pull the cart of progress onward, and the passions that inspire minds to achieve their goals. Yet they all pale in comparison to the most powerful of such forces — vengeance.
The assassin Greybor has discovered that the individual responsible for damaging his reputation has been close this whole time. Is there any obstacle formidable enough to keep him and his comrades away from the path of vengeance? Anything that would prevent him from restoring his so-called "good" name? Whatever the answers to these questions, bloodshed seems inevitable. 		„

Rumors are currency, and anyone who wishes to become rich must handle them as deftly as gold coins. The assassin Greybor is an old hand at the rumor mill. He has obtained information that a certain individual is gathering a gang of cutthroats in order to send them after the demon Willodus. The dwarf has his own score to settle with that villainous demon, and he is particularly keen on having a little chat with Willodus before the assassins get to him. The demon's mansion is in the Upper City. It is called the House of Wicked Knowledge.

Willodus is dead, but it appears that he was not actually the treacherous client who set Greybor up. It seems that the Commander and Greybor were caught up in a web of intrigue and deceit designed to bring about Willodus's fall. It is a strange situation, but a demon claiming to be Horzalah, daughter of Baphomet, has promised the Commander that all of {his/her} questions will be answered at the Assassins' Guild.

An act of vengeance fills the heart with warmth and satisfaction. It is as dangerous as the most potent drug. Only once their bloodlust and desire for violence have been sated will the avenger put down their weapon and consider their grievance settled. The Commander must speak to Greybor, and find out if enough blood has now been spilled to restore his reputation.

“ The truth has been revealed. The disgrace of Greybor's failure was orchestrated not by Willodus, but by the treacherous Yozz, who decided to eliminate a dangerous enemy by proxy. Yozz has paid the full price for his deceit. „

      2. "I'll tell Nocticula that you're plotting against her." - will lead to combat segment.
      3. "I'm not interested." - refuse alliance.
    • Then you get to decide if Greybor should join the Assassins' Guild.
      1. [Join] "I advise you to accept the offer." / "It's your decision to make." [GrimborCounter +2].
      2. [Don't] "Don't even think about joining this scum." [GrimborCounter -2].

      2. Mythic Demon [Unleash your fury, and inflict truly agonizing pain on the demon] - would require you to select "You stole my victim from me! How dare you?!" to get Merciful Fate and Cruel Fate.
      3. [Kill him] "You can't buy me off!" - you kill him, you won't get Merciful Fate and Cruel Fate, however you will get some high tier accessories from his body.

The House of Wicked Knowledge[]

  • Every time you enter a room you get a choice to avoid it's trap or deal with it. Once the room is cleared sequent visits to the room will have no more skill checks or rewards.

  • The debuff condition in room 5 and 6 seem to be bugged as it requires failing two checks together rather than "at least one".
