I just got <i>Dungeon 125</i> today (technically yesterday but I didn't check the mail- I think it's a new record for speedy delivery) and of course have been eagerly devouring the latest AoW adventure. I've got a question regarding one of the rooms, however.
PCs not wishing to spoil the adventure for themselves should cease reading right...

NOW.
Ok. In the Chamber of the Faithful (Room #3, pages 24-25 if you need it), the creatures entry states that the room "serves as quarters for a large group of fanatical Hextorites". But neither the room description nor the stat block give us an exact number to work with. I assume it was lost somewhere in editing. What is the exact number of cultists in the room?
By the way, cool use of a bunch of commoners. The PCs might think they're in trouble at first when faced with so many armed and dangerous-looking foes in such a small room. :)
Thanks in advance!
PS- I purposely left the header vague so's that others (or myself later, after finishing the adventure) can comre back and ask more questions if they should crop up. That way we won't flood the board with one-time threads on a single problem.
This has been discussed briefly on another thread. The gist of it is, the room is notated as an EL 3 encounter, and since the cultists are CR 1/3, there should be about 7-9 of them (I would lean toward 9).

Yeah... the number of critters got lost somewhere in the process.
You can reverse engineer it though. The encounter is an EL 3 encounter. Each critter is a CR 1/3 critter. It takes 7–9 CR 1/3 critters to make an EL 3 encounter. So let's aim for the middle.
There are 8 of them in the room.
Oops. Looks like someone beat me to it- http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/dungeon/ageOfWorms/howManyFanaticsDoes ItTake
Yep. And you beat me to it. And *I* beat James to it! Yesss! ;)
