Party found adamantine arrows. Am I reading this right? Can Fabricate be used to convert an adamantine arrowhead into a cubic foot of raw adamantine?

Edit: false alarm. It looks like the value of the end product can't exceed the value of the item used for the spell component.

In my game, I use the official unofficial "houserule" of casting PCs and NPCs with real actors, and wondered if anyone else had imagined who might portray the various NPCs? Here is a sample of who I have cast so far:

General Azaersi (Hilary Swank)

Aubrin the Green (Lupita Nyong'o)

Vane Oreld (Nick Offerman)

Jet (Mila Kunis)

Edran (Lin Manuel-Miranda)

Veld (Anjelica Huston)

Scarvinious (Paul "Triple H" Levesque)

Scabvistin (Charles Dance)

On AoN/D20PFSRD, there is a short section on elven racial subtypes. One is called "Dusk Elf". It comes from a short blurb in the Advanced Race Guide. Recently one of my players chose this racial subtype for our game, and I was wondering if there was any more information out there about these Dusk Elves? Nothing in Elves of Golarion as far as I can tell. Nothing anywhere besides this one short blurb in the Advanced Race Guide.

Rather than being tied to the terrain around them, some elves are linked to the night itself. Though not tied to demon worship and evil as drow are, these elves are similarly attuned to the magical concepts of darkness and shadow. These elves have the arcane focus, darkvision, dreamspeaker, and silent hunter alternate racial traits.

And that's it... Does anyone else know of any additional lore on this subtype in the pathfinder campaign setting? Thanks!

So I just had an interesting idea and wanted to float it here to see if anyone had any insights or perspective, having run either Ironfang Invasion or Gallows of Madness.

For background, GoM is set in present-day Isger some 30 years after the Goblinblood Wars. The party uncovers an Infernal plot by a nasty demon to take over the town using a vile substance called Demon's Bile, which corrupts and maddens anyone who ingests it (fiendish template). There are 3 adventures in the module and the second is of particular interest to me. A tribe of goblins is led by a filthy bugbear named Mezodarath.

Filthy, goo-covered goblins are menacing the good farmers outside of Saringallow's walls, and the authorities worry that the wicked creatures may pose a dire threat. The heroes must track these corrupted goblins to their fortress and contend with their mad Lamashtan leader if they hope to stop Saringallow's day of reckoning.

So here's where I tie it into Ironfang Invasion. I want to tweak the module and have it set 20 years in the past, so ~10 years post-Goblinblood Wars, and have the bugbear leader Mezodarath be connected in some way to Scabvistin and his son Scarvinious (major antagonists in Ironfang Invasion). Have players roll up new characters for this side adventure and run it as a series of flashbacks that contextualize the background of the Bugbears' involvement. It seems like there could be a really interesting angle to explore: the filthy corruption of Mezodarath in Gallows of Madness via the Demon's Bile contrasted by the fastidiousness and obsession with cleanliness that Scabvistin possesses and passes on to his son, and their general rejection of goblin/bugbear culture and customs.

What do you think? I was thinking have Sabvistin be a member of Mezodarath's family/clan/tribe/whatever. Witnessing the fate of Mezodarath pushes Scabvistin to see the appeal of the orderly and regimented hobgoblin forces of Azaersi and decides to throw his lot in with the Ironfang Legion. As a bonus, the PCs for the side-adventure will make great backup characters should a main PC fall during Ironfang; ones with a built in connection to the main adventure.
