On Oct 31st, 2010 my PF group finished our first AP: Legacy of Fire.
Our game lasted 16 sessions comprised of roughly 5 hours per session on a roughly biweekly schedule (some adjustments occurred due to scheduling snafu's and once we were unable to play for the better part of a month and a half). We had 6 players, with one drop, resulting in 5 players at terminus. The characters ended up at 14th level using the fast progression chart with a number of combats towards the end skipped.
----------------------------------------------------------
The cast (original party characters marked with asterisk):
Cyprian Mazarin*: LG human priest of Sarenrae. Ended up a Mystic Theurge. Only character to not die in the course of play. Strong ties to Aldriana, Kyoll, and Tessara.
Kyoll*: NE tiefling rogue. Seemingly marked for glory from the get go, got the group's first kill and the group's last kill. Died and was reincarnated a few times, ended up in the same body she started in thanks to a wish. Strong ties to Aldriana and Tessara. Still on the fence about Cyprian.
Tessara Wyrdon*: Elven fighter. Fell in combat at the claws of the Peryton, remained deceased until the denouement of the campaign where she was resurrected by Kyoll. Level 4 or so? Strong tie to Kyoll and Cyprian (and Tessara, by way of birth)
Aldriana Wyrdon: Elven wizard and sister to Tessara. Replaced Tessara and served the party well over the course of the campaign. Strongly tied to Cyprian.
Morgrym Stonefist*: Dwarven fighter. Fell beneath the Carrion King's mighty greataxe. Left to rot as the party lacked the capacity to return him to life, until the denouement where he too was reincarnated (into a dwarf, lucky!) Was lucky enough to meet his undead father before himself biting it.
Kyras: Half elven druid and escaped slave. Replacement to Morgrym. Favored elemental forms and died only once (though I did almost get him in flavor text!) at the hands of Jhavul himself. Reincarnated in the denouement from a scroll.
Murvy Busharcher*: Halfling sorcerer. Became the moldspeaker but was consumed by green slime in the Stone Speakers. Was sorely missed. Reincarnated in the denouement. Had strong ties to Tessara and Aldriana.
Marcus Trueblood: Tiefling fighter, then an aasimar fighter, then a drow fighter, then a tiefling fighter. The party's beatstick (cleared entire rooms with his great cleave in Bayt-al-Bazaan) and resident tasty meat snack. Found Haleen.
Beldin* (surname expunged): Halfling ranger/rogue. An expy of Belkar from Order of the Stick who didn't end up being a major player due to scheduling conflicts. His player was forced to drop and Beldin was later rendered to dust by the Proteans of Kakishon. Not terribly missed.

So of the original six party members that set out from Solku to liberate Kelmarane, two pushed through to the end. Great fun was had by all, and a great tale was woven. We didn't get to use the 3rd book at all due to the actions of Kyoll and a pragmatic approach to handling a certain scroll, but the other five books provided ample play to engage our group a good 9 months or so. I wish I'd been able to find adjusted stat blocks for the last book (from 3.5 to Pathfinder), but struggled through with a few missing monster entries and a scratch built build for Jhavul at the end. He's the big bad, he deserved a bit of star treatment!
And that treatment definitely had the party seeing stars! Jhavul was able to kill the fighter twice (in as many rounds, full attack for 250? Don't mind if he does...) and the druid once, and provided Cyprian his closest near death experience ever (Awesome Blow into a lake of lava? Awesome...). The druid bought the group a reprieve with a lucky Baleful Polymorph (Jhavul plane shifted out immediately to get that fixed) long enough to reincarnate the fighter, and when Jhavul came back 20 minutes later, the group was able to grind through the last of his 440 hp (maximized hit dice, :P) to win at great cost.
We next start Council of Thieves where I step down from GM'ing and get to play my first character ever in his second plot reset, Arcadias Battleblade the elven greatsword wielding rogue. He's not optimal, he's not even practical, but he's awesome!
