To say the truth, I'm posting only now because I believed this thread was definitely locked.

And I'm very unhappy with this decision, I'm getting the physical book and/or the PDF tomorrow *EXACTLY* because of this act of self-censoring. In my opinion, all I see is a loud minority crying wolf for nothing, and in need of a Bryce Treatment from the Paizo staff.Let me guess: in his last adventure, Durvin Gest had an encounter with the cult of Folca, and later he published his experiences in Volume 5 of the Pathfinder Chronicles. Do you think am I right?

However thanks to you all for your input, maybe we'll see an 'official' explanation from Paizo someday, here or elsewhere. Noir le Lotus wrote:
To say the truth, I posted this thread after re-reading Island of Empty Eyes... Ah, nostalgia! We too played Kingmaker, and when our new party of merry pirates encountered the nereid Sefina in Island of Empty Eyes, we smelled *THE PLOT SAYS THE BBEG STEALS THE SHAWL!* right away. Our solution? We still had the sovereign glue and the Salve of Slipperiness from Tempest Rising (and lots of alarm spells), and *THE PLOT SAYS* this nereid is automatically friendly (always a bad sign!) and "lacks any sense of modesty, preferring to swim and tan in the nude unless someone suggests she wrap herself in her shawl" (this means she never uses her shawl!). So, after some easy Diplomacy and Bluff rolls, Sefina allowed us to hide, ward and glue-to-an-hard-and-heavy-surface her shawl... The GM *WAS* amused (and changed the plot, of course)!Since then, I noticed that Paizo keeps (ab)using this 'Shawl Cliche', and I hoped this thread was helpful in *changing* this creative laziness...
ISLE OF DAMNED The (anti-?)heroes get trapped/imprisoned/exiled to Valkus Isle and need to plan/struggle/survive the entire AP before escaping to freedom. Hoping to see the Golarion version of Snake Plissken too. http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Valkus_Isle
