Liberty's Edge

I am gearing up to run the Mummy's Mask campaign and just thought I'd ask the community - are there any good Pathfinder Tales that take place in Osirion?

How about any good stories that capture the spirit of the campaign? I've already got the Mummy movies (original and remakes) as well as Indiana Jones covered, but I was looking for some more things too.

If anyone has any recommendations I am excited to hear them!

Liberty's Edge 1/5

Quick question to anyone in the know:

Our Pathfinder group has enjoyed the card game immensely, but we don't want to start the Skulls and Shackles game until we've gotten through the AP (itself a different matter, GM is getting married soon and pushing the game back). We've discussed just playing the organized play scenarios for now, but because the organized play scenarios are going to be using the cards from the Skulls and Shackles set I was wondering how much might get ruined from the AP if we wanted to run those scenarios instead.

I realize that the Runelords set didn't give major things away, but major NPCs/villains/locations could ruin some of the AP.

Thoughts? Thanks for any guidance you can offer with this!

Running this campaign and just about to hit the fight with Nualia. The party includes a gnome cleric of Sarenrae and his adopted half-orc daughter who is a paladin of Sarenrae.

The paladin expressed interest in leadership and has so far tried to redeem most of the villains met, so I'm excited to give them the opportunity to try and redeem Nualia. This isn't going to be without a hefty challenge and is going to take quite some time to be successful, but I am going to leave it open for the party if they so choose.

I wrote up this quick doc that uses Nualia's backstory and breaks it up into quick blurbs. Depending on their check, they'll be presented as is without any elaboration. I'd love some feedback!

Nualia’s Backstory Visions
Before the confrontation with Nualia, allow a religious-aligned PC (cleric,paladin,etc) to make a Wisdom check. Based on their check, they are presented the following visions by their deity.
• DC-5
o White-haired girl, sitting with arms around knees, surrounded by children with their backs towards her
o A young Varisian man reaching his hand out to the girl, much older now
o The woman being thrown into a bedroom by an older man, who produces a key and locks the door

• DC-10
o The girl, surrounded by adults, rubbing rashes and sores on her, plucking hairs from her head and tying them around their fingers
 DC-15 Knowledge (Local) to identify this as a superstition that aasimar hair can be used as a ‘good luck’ charm
o The Varisian man and the woman embracing in the tunnels under the Glassworks
o The woman, pointing to her stomach, and the Varisian man looking furious and shoving her to the ground

• DC-15
o The older man looming over the woman and yelling as she kneels at an altar
o The woman, looking crazed and with a much larger stomach, shaking in a corner of a room
o The woman, no longer obviously pregnant, pounding on a wall in the tunnel; as she pauses and starts crying, bricks fall away from the wall

• DC-20
o The woman laying on a bed, surrounded by women in white, and one of the women pulls away a monstrously-deformed newborn wrapped in bloody cloths
o The monstrously-deformed newborn being thrown into a fire while the woman looks on with horror in her eyes
o The woman, sitting before the quasit, who presents her with a holy symbol of Lamashtu
 DC-15 Knowledge (Religion) to identify each, unless previously encountered

• DC-25
o The woman, curled into the fetal position and crying, still dressed in the clothes from the miscarriage, while the runewell flares to life
o The woman, waking and looking starved and crazy, jamming the door to a bedroom and starting a fire
o The woman, touching an altar, a vision of a large goblin-wolf hybrid obscuring her face
