Chapter 3: "What Lies in Dust"
by Michael Kortes

In Westcrown, darkness brings fear and death, the night haunted by the spawn of a terrible curse. Striving to free the city from its decades-old blight, the PCs must reveal a long-buried secret and a treasure locked away for ages.

Their journey will set them against the scum of Westcrown’s underworld, denizens of the haunted night, and the very forces of Hell itself, all in an attempt to rekindle the memories of long-dead spirits with stories still to tell. Yet what those souls reveal might prove even deadlier than the city’s midnight curse.

    This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path includes:
  • “What Lies in Dust,” a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 5th-level characters, by Michael Kortes
  • Revelations on and rules for joining Golarion’s most feared law bringers, the infamous Hellknights, by F. Wesley Schneider
  • Diverse and exotic treasures recovered from across Golarion by the Pathfinder Society, by Craig Shackleton
  • The unfortunate return of Radovan’s gangster past in the latest chapter of the Pathfinder’s Journal by Dave Gross
  • Seven new monsters by David Eitelbach, F. Wesley Schneider, and Hank Woon

A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for characters of 5th to 7th level. The Council of Thieves Adventure Path is the first to take full advantage of the new Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rules, and works with both the Pathfinder RPG and the standard 3.5 fantasy RPG rules set.

Pathfinder Adventure Path is Paizo Publishing's monthly 96-page, perfect-bound, full-color softcover book printed on high-quality paper. It contains an in-depth Adventure Path scenario, stats for about a half-dozen new monsters, and several support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the standard 3.5 fantasy RPG rules set.

It's just placeholder art (this art was taken from the as yet unpublished Pathfinder #20).

Elaine is doing the Pathfinder Journal for Legacy of Fire only.

Her fur is not alive. It IS creepy though! As for who she is...

Spoiler:
She's Chammady Drovenge, one of the two siblings who serve as the main bad guys in Council of Thieves. She has a cameo in the 2nd and 3rd adventure, but the PCs don't actually confront her until the final adventure.

Can't wait to see Ecarrdian! I assume he'll be on #6, with the Shadow master Vampire on #5, that being his big moment on stage. Well, I'm guessing.

No, but it was! Yes. She uses actual fur from actual dead animals.

I hear she also enjoys the Cooking Mama games because they advocate killing people for food.

She's the head of PAA (People Against Animals) or so I hear.

PAA is PETA's arch-nemesis.

Their motto is "For every animal you don't eat, I will eat three!" One for themselves, one for the one the PETA disciple won't eat, and another to have a positive balance of suffering.

Their official bible is the Cooking for Mama game manuals.

Here, on this full leather book. Yes, the pages are leather, too!

And you have to sign with the blood of an animal you killed just to get the ink. And you MUST let the rest of the animal go to waste. AND it must be an endangered species of size huge or larger.

I see that the release month has changed, does this mean the convention season knocked you off schedule again? Does this mean we will see another double issue month in December?

Either that or "oh my god this book is HUUGE it's going to EAT ME EAT ME THIS BOOK WANTS TO EAT ME" Nightmares making people want extra rest.

Or both.

Or something else.

Or the nightmare thing.

Do I sense some librophobia from some Paizonians?

The combination of convention season plus dealing with the 1,000 pages of RPG and Bestiary plus moving the office all back to back did indeed wreak havoc on the schedule. We're scrambling to get things caught up and back ON schedule, though, but with only seven days in a week, my old enemy TIME is preventing us from going as fast as I want.

Since it looks like the only day in September that I'll be taking off from work was Saturday the 19th, there's not an awful lot of "more" to work.

I was planning on making Whitechin a barghest... who always keeps around old goblin adepts as "decoys" while he shifts into wolf form during confrontations with adventurers.
