Grand Lodge 4/5

Two questions:

Jade kukri:
So it says that one of the fallen warriors didn't animate and is clutching a jade kukri. In Tier 1-2 it does "normal damage". What exactly does that mean? That because it's 1-2 that it's just a masterwork kukri that's no different than any other kukri? That it hits and negates the regeneration? Or, is the "one unique ability" simply to negate the DR 5/bludgeoning of the tier 4-5?

I'll be running the adventure for the very first time this week, and I just want to make sure I understand it perfectly.

No killing spree:
Also, how do I keep my players from murdering the people in the museum? Or should I just let them do what they want and have the consequences come out later during the chronicle write-ups? It's not like Adril emphasized that they shouldn't be murder hobos.

Jade kukri:
At Tier 1-2, the Tik Taan idols don't have any DR and don't meet the condition for regeneration as they are not on natural earth, grass or wood.

Murder:
You should try to get at least one of the party with the effect, because it's hilarious (and complicated - there's a good handout around, hopefully on PFS Prep), so they should have everything they need to realise that the mist-tainted are just normal people under a curse. You could also use the original faction missions that require Liberty's Edge and Silver Crusade faction members to look out for a particular person.

If they still want to kill everything in sight, let the PP fall where they may.

Limiting collateral damage, rescuing innocents and so forth are often secondary success conditions. Your players should learn this (one way or the other), and they'll be more alert next time.

Losing out on a point of prestige isn't the end of the world, but a good learning stimulus, especially if you explain that it isn't something that only happens in this one scenario.

Took me a bit to find the handout you were mentioning. That's really cool. Don't have to worry about players looking to metagame and fail their save for the "benefits".
