The lizardman thinks for a long moment, taking in what Molly told him. Finally, he speaks in low tones, "Theesss iss ssstrange, no? All thee men gone, and only thee young and old remain...? What could cause ssuch a theeeng?"
Kasshyk seeks out the priestly woman.
Is she readily apparent?

"I don't know... Maybe... Someone or something must be forcing them to fight or work. Why else would they leave only children and elders?" says Molly with a worried look on her face. "They didn't seem o like me much... Maybe some sort of aquatic creatures?"
I uh, totally missed Kasshyk's post. I thought yall were just meandering about.
Kasshyk comes upon the Village Shrine and unless he is taking care to not be seen, a priestly woman and her followers block the way to the church up the stairs. The woman is rather plain, but her eyes hold a sharp focus.
"...You are?" She asks after perhaps a slightly too long of a stare before turning her eyes to the sea.

Kasshyk stops when the villagers block his path, and attempts to summon his rather meager tact. He bows slightly when he reaches the group, and does his best to appear non-threatening.
"Greetingsss. I am called Kasshyk. Please, do not be alarmed. I only sseek to ssspeak with one who might know of the troublesss here. I come with othersss, and we wissh to help. We have ssspoken to Nicolaius, but he would not tell usss much."

I don't think Golarion has a very good definition of what is a species and what isn't... Specially considering many different species can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. ;)
Kristeva takes a step forward the rest of the group, showing proudly the symbols of the hellknights.
A more important question is who you are and what do you know about the situation?, the sooner I get the information I need the sooner I will take care of the troubles
"The sea nurtures but is a jealous mother not to be refused when the debt comes due. Most folks have already gathered at the lighthouse for the meeting...I recommend you all to do the same."
She pauses at Kristeva's question before continuing. A flicker of emotion passing over an impassive face.
Sense Motive DC20:
She narrows her eyes at the symbol before glancing away.
"I go by Lira and serve this town as it's pastor. All we know will be presented at the congregation. Till then I see no reason to speak further of the subject."
Yes. Also the able-bodied folk are gone. The remaining citizens are mostly the elderly and children with exception of the village leaders.
"All the remaining residents are gathering for the congregation. With everyone's approval we shall decide this matter. In fact, I'm heading there right now. Feel free to join me."
As darkness descends on Blackcove, previously unseen villagers scurry from wrecked cottages toward the lighthouse, some slowly picking their way over the slippery rocks and rising tide, while the lighthouse keeper ferries others to the structure.
When Lira leads you inside you are confronted with the remnants of Blackcove.
Tightly packed into the cramped quarters of the lighthouse are all of the villagers who remain in Blackcove. Numbering less than forty, the bedraggled assembly exudes anxiety and dismay. Their kinship is obvious, and most display the same waxy and weathered skin, thinning hair that recedes sharply to either side of a pronounced widow’s peak, and disarmingly dark purple eyes. Phlegmatic coughs echo throughout the damp, crowded room and it seems as if the community members’ constitutions have grown weak because of degeneration following too many years of isolation.
A hush falls over those assembled when you all enter and the first to break the silence appears to be the Lighthouse's keeper.
"Well, it looks like Adler found help, and here's hoping they'll be our salvation. I suppose we should tell them our troubles." He says with an nervous laugh.
Diplomacy/Intimidation/Roleplaying. Their starting attitude is unfriendly.

Kasshyk looks about him at the sickly villagers, then ponders how to proceed for a moment. "These people do not seem to be too forthcoming, even though the lighthouse keeper just basically announced that we are here to help. Should I try and talk to them and assure them we really are here to help, or appeal to their more...basic instincts...?"
In the end, he decides to try and reason with the people before resorting to scaley intimidation. He puts on what he hopes is his least offensive expression and begins.
"Greetingsss, people of dee Black Cove. I am Kasshyk, and my companionss and I have heard of yooor troublesss. We wish to help, but theesss require eenformation. Please, allow the otherss with me to elaboorate."
Alright fellas, work your conversational magickes!
Kristeva was not quick enough and The lizard spoke first.
I'm here to take care of the threats that stalk this community. That's my mission and nothing will stop me for completing it - Kristeva moves so the resolution in her face is visible for everyone nothing. Speak quickly. -Intimidate 10 for 23

Kasshyk listens to the conflicting explanations of the villagers, but cannot make out their individual statements with the sheer number of them speaking coupled with his own tenuous grasp of their language. He decides to look around the lighthouse while his companions gather the information they all need.
Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
"People, people, please. The way you're squawking over one another makes you all sound like you're part seagull. Though hey, living on the coast, all those lonely nights...who knows?"
Kasshyk takes a stroll around the Lighthouse and learns that for the most part it appears the remaining villagers which are approximately three dozen have been shacking up in the admittedly huge lighthouse. The second floor is strewn with blankets, cots and other makeshift beds.
Molly observes the raging weather outdoors and to the untrained eye, most would be unaware of the growing danger outside. The merfolk notices that the water level appears to be steadily rising.
Dorian's words have great effect on the crowd and enables him to piece through all the information the folk are giving.
Gerlach is a gillman born with the sea's gift and is an accomplished sorcerer and alchemist who, in the past, aided the town with his brews. They say his discoveries on the island drove him mad.
The island ruins are remnants of an ancient Azlanti outpost. The villagers claim the ruins are full of old dark magic and that they themselves are descended from those who used to dwell there.
Many villagers are gillmen like Gerlach and live beneath the waves, but they were the first to disappear when the attacks began. Several claim that Gerlach might be manipulating his people.
Lastly the villagers, clearly won over by Dorian's charming wit, gather a small collection of treasures they've found from the sea in hopes of buying your help. The collective value is approximately 2,000 gp.

Huh... I missed Scavion's post.
Molly calls one of her companions, never taking her eyes from the storm outside.
"You see that? The water is rising very fast. That is usually bad news for legged-folk. We should tell the villagers to move on to higher ground. This place is not safe."
Male Lizardfolk Barbarian(Flesheater) 6 - 84/84 HP; AC 24 [22](touch 14, ff 22); CMD 23[25]; Fort +10[13], Ref +7, Will +6[8], (+3 saves vs magic); Init +4; Perception +9
Kasshyk comes to the merfolk at her beckoning, and listens to her words. He looks out to the rising waters and nods.
"You may be right..." he says after a moment.
One of the villagers goes to investigate the rising waters and immediately panics.
"It's hit the nine foot mark!" The villagers whip into a panic and form a crowd difficult to pass through.
Molly spots out in the waters a massive tentacle rising up and dragging a screaming fisherman under the waves. Waves wrack the shore and lighthouse as sea spray flies through the window ports.
For the purposes of this encounter, Diplomacy, Intimidate or some other clever means could potentially dispel the crowd...for now.

Kasshyk looks to see what Molly has shot at, and lingers a moment as he struggles to grasp the implications of what he is seeing.
"Iss...isss dat...?", is all he can manage to hiss before he shakes himself back to his senses. He finds the giant tentacle terrifying and unwholesome, but steels himself once more. Then the lizardman looks for some way to block the frigid waters coming through the windows, as he can see no way of striking the thing from this distance, even with his shortbow.
Blackcove's citizenry cry out for absolution and the panicked crowd are thrown about.
"Seas forgive us for whatever transgression we have caused!" Lira cries out sobbing in a impromptu prayer circle, joined in arms by her acolytes.
Molly's arrows flew out across the waters but the distance makes it difficult to tell if they had any effect on whatever colossal beast still hidden beneath the waves is wreaking havoc on Blackcove.
A feeling of dread hangs in the air as the survivors cower in fear of the next attack.
To paint the scene a bit better, there is a raging storm outside going. The party and survivors are currently on the second floor of the Lighthouse with the first floor having already flooded with water. Oh! And colossal tentacles are attacking the Lighthouse.
Molly's Turn! As I assume Kasshyk was searching for materials when it was his turn since he posted slightly out of order. The rest of this encounter will get more interactive with the next attack I promise!
Suddenly, three tentacles come writhing into the Lighthouse. One from the stairwell and two from windows across from each other. The survivors break into a panic once again and might act unexpectedly.
One tentacles appears to have been previously wounded from an arrow planted in it.
Tentacle Targets:3d20 ⇒ (18, 6, 13) = 37
One of the tentacles grabs a villager and the other tentacles attempts to snatch Kasshyk!

Kasshyk does crazy things:
Spoiler:
The lizardman weighs his options a moment, then seems to come to a decision. He closes his reptilian eyes and summons his inner reserves of power, mentally reaching out to touch upon his innate spiritual connection to his Prey. He opens his eyes again suddenly while touching his magical shirt, willing it to give him the speed to move quicker,then rushes to a lighthouse window, looking back once before leaping out into the maelstrom.
As he falls, he is pelted by cold rain from both below and above, and his vision improves and lightens with the channeled sight of a predatory avian. More bizarre, however, are the sinewy draconic wings covered in soft green scales that sprout from between his shoulders!
He flaps several times, taking in the scene below from his new height, letting the pouring rain wash over him and drawing his massive axe.
I activate my quickrunner's shirt and jump out the window, while also instantly beginning to rage. Then I summon my meal's abilities: low-light vision and flight! I assume that's all I can do, so I look around. What do my bird eyes see?
But the flailing tentacle finds no purchase on the Lizardfolk.
Outside, Kasshyk sees little more than rain, lightning, and the devastation it is causing Blackcove's shore. He does see several more tentacles awaiting open entrances into the Lighthouse currently occupied by the first tentacles however.
The crowd scurries about and in their panic, attempts to push past everyone in the room.
Molly and Dorian's arrows fly into the remaining two tentacles and render them lifeless as whatever creature they're attached to drags them out of the lighthouse to replace them with three more.
TENTACLES!?!!!:2d20 ⇒ (18, 14) = 32
Two of the tentacles grasp villagers who promptly scream for help.
I think it's on par with Barbarians... I don't know about level of optimization. I'll either make a 2-handed build to grab the cool Str-related feats or some sort of archer... Been a while since I played one of those. I thought about making an unarmed build, but I think Rynjin is going with a Monk.

The new MoMS is a pain in the ass to build since they clarified how the new Bonus Feats work. It's basically impossible to pull a good multi-Style character together before 10th.
Probably making a Wizard instead. Maybe a Skald, at Scavion's request.

1- Are Combat Expertise and Power Attack feats or combat options everyone can use?
2- How do we roll hp?
3- Any changes to feats progression (e.g.: TWF scaling to ITWF)?
4- Anything we should know about the campaign and/or its setting?
5- How much gold do we have, again?
6- What are two good 1st level wizard spells for Fighters? :P

1-No, I'd like as few house rules as possible but it's up for consideration.
2- Average +1 aka d10 is 6.
3-Nah.
4- It's Golarion, specifically in the Nation of Cheliax. The summary is that for one reason or another you've been sent to a coastal village called Black Cove to investigate some disappearances. Whether the Chelaxian government sent you, a nearby village, personal reasons, or what have you is up to you all.
5- Normal wealth for a 6th level adventurer.
6- Snowball, Mount, Touch of the Sea(A swim speed may be useful), Magic Weapon to name a few.
1-No, I'd like as few house rules as possible but it's up for consideration.
(..)
3-Nah.
Cool. This way I can test my Fighter in a neutral environment.

Not sure if snowball would be all that useful, as I can't metamagic spells from Runecraft. Magic Weapons doesn't do much for me either, since the revised Fighter already treats his weapon's as magic. I think I'll go with Enlarge Person and Touch of the Sea.
BTW, I know I usually take a little bit longer than most to build my create my characters, but I already have 3 different builds at ready! XD
Starting at 10th level, all weapons the Fighter wields can fully affect incorporeal creatures as
if they had the Ghost Touch enhancement for as long as the Fighter holds them.
Ah, indeed... Missed that little corner-case. I'll change it to include thrown weapons.
EDIT: There... Changed it to whenever the fighter is wielding the weapon. I assume the thrown weapon is still considered to be being wielded during the attack.
Even better! Changed it to affect attacks made by the Fighter, rather than his weapons. This makes it simpler to understand and affects melee, ranged and thrown weapons all the same. :)
Yeah... I later changed them to better mirror the gear-progression in the game. In any case, just use the ones in the One Step Beyond campaign document. Those are the same as before, since I don't think it'd be honest to change it mid-game.

Still not completely sure what I want to play. I'm thinking Bard, since that would benefit this party a lot. Maybe Sound Striker, unless anyone knows of a good Bard archetype other than that that doesn't give up Inspire Courage? There's like six trillion Bard archetypes and I really don't want to dig through them all.
I'm glad you like it. It seems like such a great archetype to give to Fighters... I just couldn't resist. :)
BTW, I reduced its skill points to 4 + Int per level because I received a few messages saying that it "sounds like too much". While I disagree with that assessment, I'll leave it at 4 skill points for now, so that players can more easily convince their friends/GMs to let them use the homebrew.
For our games (or at very least, the ones where I'm the GM), just consider it to have 6 + Int skill points per level.

Could I describe Molly as more of half-sea serpent and less of half-fish sort of merfolk, to explain her "strong tail" ability? Seeing a fish deftly flopping around seems silly to me. :P
I think the current Paragon is much better... But still, since Rynjin is going with a Bard, there is not much of a point in me going with a Warlord, since their bonuses to attack/damage don't stack (though I suppsoe we could benefit from having twice as many rounds). :(
And it was the perfect opportunity to play the merfolk Warlord too... T_T
