You haven't received your authorization e-mail yet, correct? I have, and I did see volume 5 disappear for a while earlier today. When the order is authorized, you should receive an e-mail listing everything that is to be sent to you, and volume 5 should reappear on your Subscriptions page with a status of Pending. In addition, this page should have a note in red at the top indicating that you bought this product yesterday or today.
If that doesn't happen this weekend, check the January shipping thread under Customer Service on the message boards on Monday. Contact them if they say that authorizations have completed and your order is still in limbo.
Recieved the authorization email yesterday, which probably means it will be available for subscriber download sometime next week. Can't wait!
I'm really hoping for a full write-up of
Fantastic! I definately spoke a night too soon, got the email today. Cheers guys, thanks!
I'm 99% sure but I won't know until I get my copy. -compulsively refreshes the my downloads page)
Well it is nice to see the Necronomicon used in something other then a Evil Dead movie/TV Show.

You and me both. My refresh button is getting worn out.
Edit: Persistence pays off! Downloading.
Edit2:
Got it!
The Great Old One is:
The new monsters are:
Child of Yog-Sothoth, a template for those corporeal creatures with a little of that Whateley flair.
Druj Nasu Div (CR 8), outsiders who defile burial grounds.
Hunting Horror (CR 14), a downright nasty Mythos Beast with great physical and magical powers.
Seeded Creature, a template for those infected by Xhamen-Dor
I'm pretty jealous you got your download already. I was hoping I'd have it by the end of today (we're supposed to play tonight) but that all depends if the shipping gods favor me. I shall prepare a token offering of cardboard and broken F5 keys.

So what Iconics are in the bestiary opener this time?Oloch and Amiri.
I imagine the bestiary opener's caption going a little like this:
Amiri: My sword isn't working! Didn't you say swords would kill this?
Oloch: My sword isn't working, either! Swords always work!
Amiri: But you researched this, right? You put Knowledge ranks into the thing that you need to know if swords work, right?
Oloch: Swords always work! And knowledge checks are your job!
Amiri: WHAT?!?
Oloch: So, um, hypothetically...if a warpriest of a battle god spent all of his time learning how to play the drums in the hope of starting a garage band...
Amiri: You put everything into Perform (percussion)?!?
Oloch: Shhyeah. Totally metal.
Amiri: Now is not the time for Our Lord in Iron puns, Oloch. We're gonna need a lot more than music to get out of this mess!
Xhamen-Dor: SOMEONE SAY MUSIC?!? SING THE SONGS OF MADNESS!!!
Let it grow! Let it grow!
Nettle, bramble, thorn, and briar!
Let it grow! Let it grow!
And awaken Hastur's ire!
Drink up the life
Of all the hills, seas, and sands
As I comandeer your dreams...
I am a blight across the land.
Amiri and Oloch: Mistakes were made!
I have to say, I like the seeded a lot. They very much remind me of the spawn of Kyuss. Given that Age of Worms is one of my favourite APs, that is fairly high praise.
Is Lowls statted in the appendix or do we wait one more volume?
Well...
Lowls has entered Carcosa long before the PCs reach Neruzavin, so he stays off-camera in this chapter as well, and is not statted in the appendix. He has left behind journals filled with his insane ramblings for the PCs to discover, however.
On the other hand, Weiralai returns to take a final stab at eliminating the characters, as expected. She's blessed with a write-up in the Appendix this time around. Depending on the power of the King in Yellow can work wonders for catching up to your foes, it seems, despite all the drawbacks: she's gained 11 levels of cleric since The Trushmoor Terror.
What are the creature types for the critters in the bestiary?
Let's see...
The Children of Yog-Sothoth are abberations, the new div is an Outsider, Xhamen-Dor is a plant (!), the hunting horror is a magical beast, and the seeded are undead.
Well that is a variety;) Thanks for the info Wight.
Map of Neruzavin (pg14) is missing scale.It has the bar, but no numbers.
Actually if i enlarge the picture there appears to be some text that is close to the background color and is not legible. Maybe the physical prduct will be easier to read.

That's unfortunate and something that I wished I'd noticed when sending this book to the printer. To answer your question, though, the whole bar is 400 feet.

Liking it so far, especially ** spoiler omitted **
That part does look like fun to run, Decius.
Players are much less conflicted on what to do when the opposing outsiders are not from the Upper Planes. What do you do when you're taking actions that someone in Heaven finds offensive? How are you going to deal with the fact that you need the Necronomicon, but Heaven's agents are tasked to retrieve it? Much more morally complex and fun!
The Children of Yog-Sothoth template....what's the CR bump on that ?
I love the picture of Amiri and Oolch in the Bestiary opener. :D
A new Div! What is the Druj Nasi like? Appearance? Powers?

I bought this today in my local flagstore in germany and the first 16 pages are pages #17 through 32, then it begins again at page 17.
Does anyone have the same problem?
On another note, this adventure has at least FIVE GARGANTUAN creatures in it, which is to be expected considering that a lot of Mythos creatures are of such obscene size that a lot of horror comes from this fact alone.
What i don´t like about that as a DM or player, is that NEITHER PAWNS NOR MINIATURES can represent these creatures.
This is especially sad considering the BBE is gargantuan.
I wish Paizo would get their act together and finally do something about that - a "Gargantuan Bestiary Box" is doable and overdue.

A Gargantuan/Colossal bestiary box would be cool, but perhaps impractical. IMO, pawns of that size don't look as nice as the medium/large ones. Plus, creatures of that size fit one to a sheet, so you'd only get ~16 monsters (plus whatever you can squeeze in around the edges). The gargantuan and colossal bases might also kick up the price point.
I mean, even with all that, I'd buy it, but I'm a pawn fanatic. :)
I'm a way out from running this one, but I'm already hunting down minis for the big critters. So far I've found this guy:
I'm done with today, can it be tomorrow now?

Conveniently, a set of cheap cork coasters is exactly a 2" radius circle. Just set it down on the map, set an appropriate stand-in monster on top of it (pawn or mini, doesn't matter), and VIOLA! Instant Gargantuan!
