As the title says: How did you get rid of Tsuto Kaijutsu?

Did you kill him the glass works or interrogate him and then deal with him in some other fashion?

The first group I ran through Burnt Offerings captured and tortured him. Well the priest of Gorrum did while the Dirge Bard made sure it didn't go too far. The loss of Tsuto's tongue was completely accidental. He was trying to kill himself by biting off his tongue but the priest stopped him but then realized he was wearing a spike gauntlet.

The second group I am currently running through this adventure captured him, tried to get some information out of him by trying to make him think he was talking to a hallucination of Lnjiku. When that didn't give them all the information they needed they made sure that the Sheriff wasn't around and then fed him to the Blood God Disciple's Eidolon.

First encounter: he critted my half-ogre bard with a single arrow shot, almost downed him in one hit. He then fled down the smuggling tunnel.

Second encounter: ran into him and his mercenary buddies in Thistletop. Kobold mage with a Wand of Shocking Grasp critted him in the junk... then my half-ogre bard ran him through with a critical hit.

I know, lots of critical hits, right? We thought it strange too...

Third Encounter: He appears again as an undead along with his dead bugbear buddy in the basement of Thistletop when we had to retreat from the yell hounds, and back to town to rest. Orik switched sides and joined the party, when we let him live during our second encounter with Tsuto.

Just can't keep a good bad guy down, I guess.


<<SPOILER ALERT>> for Rise of the Runelords... please do not read if you do not want to know details in the adventures within the campaign setting...

Okay, so my half-ogre bard was in the depths of Thistletop, facing off against Nualla and her minions. He had cast Mirror Image prior to being trapped in that hallway with the portcullis and opposing statues that attack after the gate closes.

The statues require an attack roll to hit, but Mirror Image, RAW, says:

"Whenever you are attacked or are the target of a spell that requires an attack roll, there is a possibility that the attack targets one of your images instead."

Now, at the bottom of the Mirror Image spell description, it also says:

"An attacker must be able to see the figments to be fooled. If you are invisible or the attacker is blind, the spell has no effect (although the normal miss chances still apply)."

Traps don't normally "see". Therefore, Mirror Image would NOT have any effect in this case? If that's the case, and traps requiring attack rolls don't normally "see", then wouldn't it stand to reason that there's a 50% miss chance on the attack roll, since it's mechanically flailing to hit without some sort of targeting?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I rolled a 1 on my Search Messageboards roll... thanks in advance for any feedback.

As they're listed in the Core Rulebook, it appears that the cost to create an item is a "Construction Requisite". That means that according to the rules, taking a +5 to the DC to create an item allows you to "ignore" it as a requisite, since the only mandatory requisite that isn't "ignore-able" is the item creation feat itself.

Is this true?

Disregard. I read a misprint on a website, the website listed magic items as:

------------------------------------------
Construction Requirements
------------------------------------------
<requirements>;Cost: <costs>

PF Core rulebook (actual book) listed magic items as this:

------------------------------------------
Construction
------------------------------------------
Requirements <requirements>;
Cost: <costs>
