Chapter 3: "Broken Moon"
by Tim Hitchcock
Among the shadows of the infamous Shudderwood lurk deadly beasts, savage madmen, and monsters that blur the line between the two. Into this fearful wilderness the heroes follow the path of the Whispering Way's nefarious necromancers. But when the cultists’ passage throws the forest’s tenuous peace into chaos, the adventurers find the only island of safety amid the savage wilds transformed into the killing grounds of a shapeshifting monster. Can the PCs escape the terror-plagued wilderness and unveil the death cultists’ true plot at last? Or will the lycanthropic curse claim them as well?
This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path continues the Carrion Crown Adventure Path and includes:
“Broken Moon,” a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 7th-level characters, by Tim Hitchcock
The secrets of the Whispering Way, a notorious cult sworn to the powers of death and undeath, revealed in blasphemous detail, by Adam Daigle

Laurel Cylphra comes face to face with an ancient mystery in the Pathfinder’s Journal, by F. Wesley Schneider
Seven exciting and deadly new monsters, by Tim Hitchcock, Rob McCreary, and Patrick Renie
Each monthly full-color softcover 96-page Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign.

I'm sitting here in the dark, covered with rats, wondering if I should run this one for you Baron, as I deliberately placed every one of your phobias, fears, and insecurities into this adventure.
seriously, I'm covered with rats
Awsome pic!
And Tim I have nothing against rats (except when they take cabs I try to hail when its pouring rain); its spiders and werewolves that I go weak in the knees for.
I'm guessing I will be playing this adventure with all the lights on.
So, does Golarion's moon have a name other than "the moon"? And if so, what is it?
So far, we've only called it "the moon."
If we DO end up calling it something some day... it'll probably be called Somal. in fact, we may have already done this somewhere in print. (Somal being the name of one of the two moons in my homebrew game, and thus an easy word for me to remember.)
Does it need a name? Our own moon doesn't have a name either except for the word "moon" in various languages.
I think I am going to call it... Bob
Odd, I just saw Titan A.E. last week, but missed your quote.
Why is Seoni's hair blonde? And short! (relative to her normal hairstyle)
Because Seoni's hair is kinda supposed to be blonde in the first place. In some pictures, artists skew her hair really light, and sometimes it IS white... but normally she's a blonde. Of course, lighting in an illustration can influence this as well, so in theory, in images where the lighting is from fire, she should look even more blonde than normal.
Anyway, when you look at Wayne's original paintings (the ones we use to illustrate the classes in the core rulebook), compare her hair color to Merisiel's. Merisiel has full-on white hair. Seoni's hair isn't quite as starkly white.
As for why it's short... artistic license, basically.
So, something I did not get from the "Ecology of the Lycanthrope" article ( which otherwise was fantastic ): Do natural lycanthropes also go on a rampage every full moon? Also, as described the "rampage" of werebears is not very rampagey... but they still seem to attack every person near them, right?
I ask because three PC's got werebeared during my last campaign ( two due to random chance, one because he wanted it so much that he let one bite him... damn Bear Shaman Druids and their illicit desires. :p ).
Any chance we could get Broken Moon wallpaper? I love advertising Pathfinder on my work computer, the House of the Beast golem has gotten a lot of comments.
I noticed some interesting tie-ins with past products.
Spoiler:
The end boss necromancer received his training from a mysterious ghoulish woman named Yrasa Nine-Eyes. Back in the 3.5 adventure "Hungry are the Dead," we are introduced to the character Lucimar, a lich who will be appearing again in "Shadows of Gallowspire." Lucimar is noted as having a male wizardly rival named Yras Nine-Eyes. I'm interested to find out more about Mr. and Mrs. Nine-Eyes (or maybe they're the same person?).

Thanks for noticing...
Generic Villain:
That was the intention, however it seems that along the way Yras must have fallen prey to some very old school curse magic at the hand of an unknown nemesis. Beware the mighty girdle of femininity/masculinity!!! So yeah, serious product tie-in... as in all the way back to 1st edition! Rock!
How are my PC's suppose to survive the boss fight in this book?! Circle of Death with the big baddie is 11d4 HD of creatures (a poor role will get most of them) and then it's save or die with a dc21 save. Given their make up they have about a 50-50 shot of living. If that's not bad enough Cloud kill plus some undead grapple monsters means there is a good chance that two players will slowly get con drained to death while pinned. Eyebite has a good chance of eventually driving off their alchemist/artillery. And ranged attacks against a flying greater invisible target is daunting.
I get this is a horror game but this has the wiff of tpk about it.
I'm a novice GM. I want to challenge my players not end the campaign. any suggestions?
