I ran the demo at Pax Prime for around 40 hours and had one person try something nobody else tried when closing the town square.

I don't have a copy of the demo deck any more as my copy disappeared when cleaning up the Paizo area, but I believe the town square closing text reads like this.

When closing, each character at this locations recharges a card and then draws a card.

The unique player recharged a blessing of the gods from his discard pile and then drew a card.

I am not sure if the card works like that but the chapel in the demo set mentions recharging from the discard so I allowed it.

Honored Brothers and Sisters,

I have to admit that my meditations of late have grown troubled. As is common among our people I enjoy sharing stories with travelers as entertainment. I once heard a story about how a far off country had come under attack by demons. This attack did not take place by abyssal hoards, but instead by isolating and replacing important people with disguised demons. Unfortunately my fellow traveler and I had to part ways before he finished his tale and I never learned how this country fared.

What troubles me is a report from Pathfinders that provided security for Amara Li at a recent meeting with the Way of the Kirin. When I first saw that Li was saved from the brink of death along with the Way of the Kirin's representative I was filled with pride and relief that our Society was able to get these important people out of a dire situation against over-whelming opposition. It was only later when meditating that portions of the story I heard seamed to bear an eery resemblance with events in the report.

The security force reported seeing two oni in the hostile forces landing on the island the meeting took place on and later detail a fight in which they slew one of the oni. This leaves one oni unaccounted for. Our lands stories are ripe with tales of oni changing their shape to fool people. The report also mentions that the oni that was slain had several samples of origami on his belt. Did the oni share this past time with our Venture-Captain or were they practicing the skills they would need to impersonate Li? Amara Li was captured with no friendly conscious forces around giving the opportunity for a switch to be made and her security force did not contain anyone powerful enough to see through the disguises oni use. Finally Amara Li is now isolating herself from all the people that know her best. Her closest servants were killed while she was captured and now she is leaving her loyal Lantern Lodge agents in the western lands while heading back to Tian Xia, leaving her without the support of the people that know her best.

I would like to selfishly ask that if there are any members of the Lantern Lodge with the ability to see a persons true form, could you please pay a visit with Amara Li and make sure she is herself?

Thank you for listening to my troubled thoughts,
Brother Billy Quan

The Version 4.2 Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play has the new section talking about following rules clarifications in forum posts made by campaign leadership, if you are aware of the post.

I thought that the credits for the guide would be a good reference, but then a recent post I read from a 5 star dm said "James (Jacobs) isn't a rules source as he's said plenty of times himself."

So I am wondering who are the people who's posts the guide is referring to?
