There's a cycle of folktales, also from the Carolina mountain country, called the "Jack Tales." They were first written down and made known outside of the oral tradition by Richard Chase, who collected them as part of a folklore project for the federal government during the New Deal. I'd be very curious to know if the Silver John stories are at all related to the old tales... the old ones certainly make for good source material!

I like all these ideas for upping Nualia's presence. Also, has anyone considered making it a real possibility for the PCs to save/redeem her? I've thought about doing that when I run the AP (if only because it's something that I'd like to do and I'd like to give the players the option). It would be difficult to capture her and more difficult to help her deal with her insanity and rage, but it would be possible. Her story seems too tragic to just have it end with "You just killed the beautiful aasimar woman who never got a good break in her life and was misunderstood or mistreated by everyone who should have been looking out for her, and who got more affection and respect for being an evil b~@&@ than she ever got for being a shy, quiet girl. Congratulations. You're such big damn heroes, it makes me cry."
