During the Year of Unfettered Exploration, the reappearance of the planes of metal and wood destabilized the Maze of the Open Road, the extradimensional maze the Pathfinder Society uses to transport personel and good across vast distances. In trying to stabilize itself, new entrances and exits appeared, one in a Tanuki village in Minkai. The tanuki had some fun pranking travelers in the maze until some Pathfinder agents defeated them at their own games. Now the village is on good terms with the Society, but the Pathfinders would like to have a lodge in the village to oversee this new exit. The tanuki are amenable, but only if the Pathfinders do some favors for them first. Of course the PCs are the ones tasked with these favors.
