I'm running this on Friday and will be able to give a full report then, but for now:
Where's the War Razor from? I'd like to be able to describe it a bit better than a 1-handed, 1d4 weapon...
edit: Campaign Setting. I guess I was under the impression that the equipment in PFS Scenarios would all be in the PFRPG. What happens if a player wants to buy the +2 War Razor off the Chronicle? Where do they find out its full stats?
I'm confused.
This scenario introduces a very powerful magic item, Sifkesh’s Bane, that states:
"Any cleric or succubus of Sifkesh can ask someone bearing one of these stones to inflict bodily harm on himself (as the spell dominate person, but removing the restriction of self-destructive behavior)..."
So when can GMs use it? Here are the two opportunities where it COULD come into play:
ACT 3
Except it states: "Under no circumstances will the succubus and her skum minions attack a PC carrying the stone..."
ACT 5
Except it states: "If one of the PCs still carries the stone found at the riverside, Mogla-Tor points his trident at that PC and says, 'You will make a good sacrifice for the stones! You live for now—the rest of you die.'"
So both the succubus and cleric of Sifkesh don't try to kill the PC carrying the stone.
How do we get to this point then, in the conclusion?
"By this point, the PCs should be aware of the negative effects of carrying the stone and will likely not want to take them with them."
Hmm.
I have a question regarding the final combat.
In Act 5 at tier 10-11, the skum fighters are identical to the skum fighters in Act 3 -- aside from the fact that they apparently only have 60 hp. In Act 3, they're CR 8 creatures and in Act 5, they're CR 5 creatures. Is this all correct?
Getting ready to run this and I have an issue with an encounter.
How has anyone else run this?

I've run it a couple of times as is. Check out that bluff check of hers... Of course the players are suspicious, what good adventurer wouldn't be?
I usually try to bluff the PCs into believing that she's there to help them cleanse the drowning stones. Essentially she's a warden of the forest, or whatever.
Act it up like she's suspicious of them, that's about the only way to trick the players into believing she might be for real. Roll your bluff check ahead of time (or take 10...) and let the players roll their sense motive out in the open. Odds are they aren't going to hit that DC.
Bit of history, I bluffed DougDoug's high level cleric to come up to take the bag from me. His character opened the bag and was like WTF? Combat ensued. ;-)
If she's got her minions there, she can also act like she's being hunted by them...
Have fun, I love that mod.
