I think I have this wrong but am having difficulty figurine out why. Hopefully someone can clear up my confusion.

Subordinate Actions (p. 462): Using an activity is not the same as using any of its subordinate actions.

Sneak Attack (p. 181): If you Strike a creature that has the flat-footed condition...

Twin Feint (p. 183): Make one Strike with each of your two melee weapons...The target is automatically flat-footed against the second attack.

My understanding of the above is that that only the basic Strike action would qualify for sneak attack damage. The Strike in Twin Feint is a subordinate action,so isn't the same as a Strike and therefore you wouldn't apply Sneak Attack damage.

Unfortunately, my circumstances have changed and I can no longer afford either my Pathfinder or GameMastery subscription. Please cancel both. Thank you for producing such a high quality product, I have enjoyed everything I have received.

On page 3, it says 1d4 townsfolk die each day for the first two days and then increases by 1d4 for every day thereafter.

On page 5, it says the journey takes a little more than three days (for a party moving at speed 30) or five days (speed 20) one way. Not counting time for exploring or resting.

Page 3 also states, once forty townsfolk die the malady has run its course.

Doesn't this make it near impossible for the party to complete the mission in time to save anyone ? The average death toll for six days would be 40 and I imagine most parties would have someone at speed 20. Even at speed 30 most parties would be likely to fail.

There have been two so far in the game I'm running.

1) Ripclaw. Spends 5 rounds without landing a single hit before dying.

2) Bua Gorg. The cleric casts summon monster III, bringing forth two uncontrolled dretches. One casts stinking cloud on Bua, catching Drevoraz in the area. Both miss their saves and both are nauseated for 5 rounds after leaving the area. Both die before recovering.
