Investigate My Death is a quest in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Journal[ | ]

It turns out that Jaethal, our undead companion, doesn't know who killed her before she rose from the dead. It's unclear if it was even murder at all! All she knows for certain is this: her dagger, which disappeared on the day of her death, has now resurfaced — in the barony's capital, and under strange circumstances. Surely, our {baron/baroness} can solve this mystery. Let's begin the investigation!
Find the boar carcass near the Old Sycamore +112xp 001_FindBoarCarcass (628257174dbe0f7469bbb23c4bc727d3)
The traveling merchant, Enneo, claims that he found Jaethal's dagger in a dead boar's carcass near the Old Sycamore. We should examine the area. It might lead to Jaethal's murderer!
Follow the trail to the bank of the Thorn River +135xp 002_FollowTrace (4c192a7eea38ad44cb6383d2da59b855)
Having examined the wild boar's carcass closely, we found out that the animal was indeed wounded by Jaethal's dagger. But it happened somewhere else, not where we found the carcass, but presumably by the bank of the Thorn River. We must go there and search for more clues!
  • The wounds on the boar's carcass looked strange. The dagger might have been stuck into it after the animal's death.

Repel the attack! +180xp 003_DefendYourself (2b8af03148ea8d147a2d0502f9651b52)
As soon as we got to the river bank, some crazy elves attacked us! We'll have to fight for our lives!
Decide the fate of an elven girl +225xp 004_DecideGirlFate (d78230193f8987c48b71412f12133c4a)
We repelled the attack, but then suddenly Jaethal learned to raise the dead. — And she 'revived' an elven girl! Now it's up to the {baron/baroness} to decide what to do.
  • Some half-elf, calling himself the Wanderer, convinced the elves that Jaethal was tracking them down to kill them all!
    Addendum_WandererBlackmail (6a6f905966307f14ca9313fce61a8e6f)
  • The elven girl claims that they did not attack us with evil intent, but only to defend themselves. And of course, they weren't involved in Jaethal's murder.
    Addendum_ElvesNotGuilty (adc496c618da8ef4b9d62dc5c993e733)
Return to the capital and talk to Enneo +750xp 005_ConfrontEnneoAtCapital (64ab66256cb16c649b341feaf9ff19a2)
It seems it was Enneo, the merchant who had the dagger, who drew both us and the elves into this story. We should return to the capital and have a little chat with him!
Request canceled No exp Obj00_JaethalQ1_TimeFail (91ca6e3654778854ba3e790e6e4b5d50)
We ignored our companion's request for far too long — and now it is too late. Oh well, that's just too bad.
- No exp JaethalQ1_HiddenFinish (5cf551bc167753e4b936b63910eff67b)

This story turned out to be so confusing! Enneo, the half-elf merchant, with whom our investigation began, turned out to be a follower of Pharasma — the kind who devote their lives to hunting down the undead and followers of Urgathoa. It seems that he was Jaethal's original murderer, and tried to do it again — by the hands of those unfortunate elven travelers. So we've found the murderer. But what next?
