I prolly should have made a different character.
Why not just make another?

I did not get any sense in character of more to come in the scenario. the prince battle felt like a finale with little or no clues that there is more.
The references to the prince's lover have me suspecting a fight with succubus or grey slaad given the frog theme.
I'm really glad I asked now. Because I was also thinking that Ep.#1 was better off ending with the Prince's defeat. What stopped me (aside from having planned two parts) was that I felt my motive was selfish. I want to jump in as a player!
Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but it seems we all agree Ep.#1 should end. The solution: I'll end it!
...
Of course in order to have an Ep.#2, we need to know who would like to GM the next episode?

Because I'm lazy. And pathfinder is at a weird spot where 1st ed is so bloated options wise that the prospect of making a character is daunting. I'm not gonna lie I have been thinking about leaving the game because I don't want to play Sabs and I don't want to make a new character.

The who what now? Those clues never implanted in my brain, which certainly could be my failing.

This is why I really *should* have ended the episode. I felt this too, and honestly considered saving the other half for a future episode so I can build up to the next epic battle.
Your feedback is confirming that was the better move, so I'm taking a batter-late-than-never approach. And within seconds of ending the episode, I received a cosmic sign of approval:

It's possible that Sabs' craziness will shine in the next GM's world. Addy's crazy too, but more of a voice-in-her-head crazy.
Well, if you do stay, you're Lv.4 with 8000g whether you play Sabs or someone else.

I had the sense that the point of the episode wasn’t to defeat the prince but to figure out the origin of the demon seeds.
The priestesses mentioned that the prince had shown no sexual interest in them after forcing them to dress in a lewd manner. Why would he do that then?
A reason for that occurred to me when Sockhop said the prince had a lover who had a ‘human form.’ Since the opening fight was with the prince, I presumed that his lover was probably the boss fight and source of the demon seeds. This was cemented when Sockhop later explained that the prince’s lover was Lvl 426’s ‘Top Frog.’
I guessed we were looking for a creature with Alter Self or similar and likes to debase priestess.
That’s what made me think succubus or Incubus since the priestesses referred to the lover as a he. However, the Grey Slaad also have Alter Self, are frog themed, and have crystals in them that are remarkably like the description of the demon seeds.
Cats and Dots added more detail about four eyed Jack, who I assumed was a lieutenant of the prince’s lover. I’d thought we’d have a second fight with him and his “top dogs” as back up before an final fight with the boss.
Mostly, Johnny nailed it.
1st paragraph - yes!—demon seeds are the threat, not the prince.
2nd - the demon seeds took control, and he desired the seeds to the point that nothing else was desireable. (In the whore's bedroom, this was dismissed as impotence.)
3rd & 4th - 100%!
5th & 6th paragraphs - about as close as you can be to correct based on information given, including a really close guess!
Anabel leaving was a bummer, I'd hate to lose anybody else. What if Sabs has multiple personalities? You could play whatever personality fit your mood and keep the Oracle build.
Losing Goddity was tough, not for the game—this is just a game!—but because her disappearance from the site was so abrupt. She was an enthusiastic player, and seemed to be an enthusiastic GM in her own game. I'm >99% sure she left the site for real life reasons, and sadly, I believe there is a valid reason why she did not contact me or any of her players.
Fifika and Sunset have real-life stuff going on, so I'm not expecting them to be online this month.
I appreciate Anabel letting us know she was leaving this campaign. I take no offense if someone leaves, and would rather know than wonder or take the hint.
I was going to wait until the end of the week, but who am I kidding? It's really not fair to ask anyone to GM a new episode in the midst of a mass exodus.
Better to let the characters have their happy ending and thank you all for playing. I mean that sincerely, as I was really into it when that last battle was raging! ...and maybe that's why I got carried away to the point that I was oblivious to the damage done by my barrage of info-dumps.
I apologize for the post-battle buzz-kill, especially to those who were willing to forgive my errors and play on. But with a majority of players having moved on to greener pastures, I have decided to deactivate this campaign.
