PFS #34: Encounter at the Drowning Stones [SPOILERS]

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?

RotR Player's Guide, Campaign Setting

Thinking a bit further... (it hurts!)

Would a player wanting to purchase the War Razor off the chronicle sheet need to own the Campaign Setting and bring it with them every session?

They could get the RotR Player's Guide for free and print that out.

I'm confused.

MAJOR SCENARIO RUINING SPOILERS!

Spoiler:

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.

Spoiler:
The intent was that Mogla-Tor would use it against a PC if the tide of battle was turning against him. That could've been made clearer. They want to sacrifice the PC bearing the stone just as they did the Pathfinder spy, which is why they hope to leave that PC alive. But if Mogla-Tor and his minions are getting whooped, he'll certainly use Sifkesh's Bane against the PC (or any PC) carrying one.

Is placing the stone into a handy haversack a viable solution to the Qadirian Special Mission??

I would say yes, since only a few feet away (dragging) is mentioned. A different dimension is certainly far enough, as long as it's done w/in the first hour.

Paizo Employee Joshua J. Frost (Events Manager),

Spoiler:
Yup. Placing it into any extra-dimensional space, assuming he didn't hold it or have it in his pocket or something for an hour before hand, is a viable solution. And a clever one.

Out of curiousity, is Osprey one of Tim Hitchcock's PCs from an earlier campaign? I noticed Osprey has shown up in 3 of the 4 PFS scenarios that Tim has written and I wonder if there's any connection.

Paizo Employee Joshua J. Frost (Events Manager),

Osprey is also in Seekers of Secrets. :-)

As far as I know, Osprey is just his pet NPC he uses in the scenarios. And since Tim writes some of the best scenarios I get the pleasure to develop, I pretty much let him do what he wants. :-)

I have a question regarding the final combat.

Final Combat Spoiler:

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?
