well... I'm not really asking for suggestions... it's more like I'm sharing what just happened in my game and hope that you enjoy it and maybe come up with good inspiration about what's going to happen next.
I restarted the savage tide with a new group of players... one of them is a Illumian Chaotic evil bard follower of malcanthet wich aims for the thrall of malcanthet class...
so... she brought in the sea wyvern a scroll of planar binding to summon a succubus (she needs to lose a level and she want to feel how is like to be drained by a succubus anyway since he wants to be just like them) and so she proceeds into summoning the succubus.
after a little chat and playing cat and mouse the succubus got free from the spell (failed caster check against her spell resistance).
So .. she fulfills her part of the bargain anyway (and let be honest... it was about draining a naughty 26 charisma bard, she would have done it anyway) and then said that she was going to leave her room looking just like her until she found another passenger to kill, throw into the open sea and then replace for the whole journey.
And of course, she implied that any try to warn the rest of the ship about her existance would mean that one day or another she would have been killed in her sleep (and the succubus has the mindreading skills to be sure of any information leak)
now ... I'm not an abusive DM .. and quite frankly the succubus does mean no harm to the bard. In fact she found her amusing and gave her a great opportunity to escape boredom and break havoc in the material plane.
Now ... the succubus already admitted that she is no servant of Malcanthet and she serves only herself (in fact if her lord Pazuzu heard that he might disagree since she is in his court)
Nonetheless I don't plan to play her as an agent of pazuzu... certainly not yet... right now is just a playful succubus
isn't that just pure gold for any DM?
Let me know if you come out with funny things for my little Deliliath
This is great stuff! My group has a Malcanthet worshipping Witch, all without any backstory given away by me. Its going to get interesting later. (Party also includes a deathtouched pc [race from some dragon magazine pathfinderized by me] with amnesia. Basically he gave me carte blanche to write what his character truly is. Im going to go with a sleeper agent for Orcus. Interesting indeed!
Sorry for going off topic.

Are you keeping the stowaway plot or replacing it with the succubi. Both might be a bit much. Or not- 2 imposter passengers (3 if you count the false priest) could lead to some great hijinx
well...the mephit already attacked and rowy was still alive at the end of TiNH and I think rowyn deserves a last appearance.
the fun fact is .... when some acident happens and they will go hunting for a sabotaging stowaway the bard will probably think is all the sucubus doing.
or the succubus might warn the bard about a stowaway in the ship...all in all the hunt will look fun and she wants the voyage to be succesful...
in the end she s a reasonable and patient succubus... messing with a whole colony trumps messing with a single ship...
of course some of the ship crew will be charmed, suggesed and abused so many times during the voyage that by the end they would be unable to think straight again
