An expedition from Brevoy attempts to tame the Stolen Lands, while civil war brews in the north between the nobles houses and a bandit king rises in the wilderness.

I got the information from the Pathfinder Wiki article which references this Pathfinder Blog entry. If it is actually spelled out in the new book that would be nice. How did you get an advance copy?
Subscribers get things earlier I believe.
I got it for making Top 32 on RPGSuperstar. I guess they changed it, though I don't have a regular copy to check.
Wow, that's pretty awesome. I'll update the calendar. I think I read in one of the books that the calendar is designed to advance from 4708 onward every year as the campaign books came out in 2008 so I'll make our calendar copy 2008 as far as days of the week and stuff.

Great posts in the cave. Keep it up!
Are you guys ready for night to fall, or do you expect more conversation about governing?
I think we can assume Verik goes in excruciating detail without RPing it all, lol. I say we move on. Otherwise I am going to be posting about sewage disposal...
Question: What do the PCs do for fun during downtime? Just chat? Shuttle? I know Taisper likes to exercise, Tandlara enjoys disemboweling woodland creatures and making fetishes, Verik enjoys letters to Abadar and trying not to think about Jemini. What else?
Talking, telling stories, thinking, planning?

She is partial to disembowelling, won trophies for it back in WitchUni.
Tandlara actually deeply enjoys watching the others, time is almost forever for her so wasting a few hours sitting in silence thinking about things or watching the party occupy themselves can't really bore her. But she finds the human need for activity refreshing, and actually soothing. Thats why she likes to meditate on the Brightness surrounded by hustle and bustle. She thinks that kind of vibrancy is the key to finding it.
I'm thinking Zander is probably spending a lot of his downtime working on the map. I'm actually kind of thinking he might do some art as well, drawing the creatures they've encountered and maybe doing some portraits of the other party members when no one is looking.
Calendar is finally fixed and updated. I added in a few noteworthy Gozran Holidays too :)
Verik's gonna go nuts on Taxday.
Berrin will be looking at his compass along with Zander's map, reading his footpront book when he sees a print, picking his nails with his dagger, sharpening his blades and chatting.
Taxfest! Not taxday, Taxfest! Sounds much better.
Oh you know we have to celebrate Taxfest! But how can we celebrate it if we don't pay any taxes? Dilemma! Verik will probably put some funds towards the creation of a Church.
Jemini usually tries to find entertainment through her companions, or through things outside herself - rather than looking for it within herself.

How beardy are the men folk getting this far into our trip? We've been going over a week right?
Verik's blondish so it probably would not show too much, he would have a shaving kit if the AA had been available though. He would certainly have shaved at olegs, being something of a neat freak.
Don't mind the fey procession of wintery death, just passin' through!
Zander doesn't really grow facial hair thanks to his scarring so he's good. He has a few patches on his head that grow a little hair, but he shaves those with his dagger.
And yeah, that procession was pretty wild.
If that wasn't a teaser I don't know what is!
Berrin has a full face of dark hair, wavey I believe 'couse of mixed ulfen and taldan ancestry. Straight and curly mixed makes wavey right?
It will grow fairly quickly, a full stubble after a day. I haven't made him shave yet IC so I guess he's fully bearded now.
Female Elf Witch 4
Woo beard! Just an interesting little thing I was wondering about.
Tandlara is now somewhat obsessed with the fey, but elf obsessions can wait a very long time.
Damn, scary stuff! Tandalar and Verik yikes ;)
But seriously we better get to take on those big'uns! Surely they cannot dangle a carrot of awesome like that and not let us fight at least the majority of them eventually?! Awesome! Most APs end around 15th right? Hmmm, don't really want to know, but I think that's doable, maybe not at the same time.... Although frankly that would be amazing.
Verik: "I'm sick of winter and I think I know whose fault it is, let's go kick some arse!"

*hums I dont want to miss a thing*
Hehe, I figure that Verik lived in a boys dormitory for a few years and as such has a repertoire of swears for highly emotional situations.
I suppose I should have exchanged tinder twigs for matches...
Any chance of this spell Abadar's Truthtelling being available DM? I know its not from an allowed source, from Gods and Magic, but Verik would certainly love to have it, and its very appropriate falvorwise imo.
Looks like a fine spell to me. I vote we allow it.
Looks fine to me. A few of those spells are OP, but that one's fine.
Man, it really seems like the blizzard and solstice were planned to lead into the procession, but it was a spur of the moment addition. Glad it worked out!
It did indeed seem that way, very nice. I'll probably run Kingmaker once we are much further in and I'll definitely use that, very cool.
@Verik: Kingmaker (by the book) goes to about level 18, with options to continue afterward. But honestly, the way DM Barcas is going about it - I'd be surprised if it was all that similar to the published work.
Brilliant, very happy to hear that, the more the better as far as I am concerned. :)
It's going to be a ways off, but I'd be pretty interested in continuing with this group after the books are done to 20th level and beyond :)
Yeah, I've made a few major revisions, but the framework is still there.
Male
Major is right. I've played till lvl 2 in a game that died and nothing is the same. Awsome!
Huh, well major kudos to DM Barcas then. I look forward to eventually reading over the first AP installment.
Apparently Verik is a dab hand with a snowball, lol.
Female Elf Witch 4
Giddy elf is giddy!
Way to cheer her way the hell up!
That was a good time for a natural 1, lol.

Now this is the kind of PvP I can live with.
Lol, snowball rapid shot, awesome!
Male Human Heretic 5 Master of Many Styles 1
Heehee! Tandlara scores a CRITICAL SNOWBALL!
Female Elf Witch 4
Booya! ELVES NEVER FORGET!
Yeah, but they're scared of mice.
