The Ecology of a Death Knight article.
Features this gem....
__________________________________________________________
Vanthus Vanderboren: Vanthus featured as a villain in Dungeon magazine's "Savage Tide" adventure path. Appearing as a human foe throughout the first two adventures, he returns as a half-fiend after visiting the Abyss and being transformed by the Flesh Forge. Following his death at the hands of the PCs, Demogorgon turns him into a death knight, and he bedevils the PCs again only to meet a second death. Upon this second failure, he is transformed into a larva, and the PCs meet him in this lowly form during the last adventure.

Talk about inconsiderate, could the folks at Paizo do what they can to get it removed before all my players read it. Assuming you are still on speaking terms with WotC.
Yeah, I saw that.
I briefly thought about asking my players not to read it, but that would've been counterproductive. ("Don't read the article about death knights." "Why, are there spoilers for our game?" "Um. Yeah, kind of." "So we're going to meet a death knight?" "...")
Ah, looks like they've put it behind a spoiler warning. It now just says "Savage Tide adventure path (Warning: spoilers below)", with the Vanthus text appearing only after that's clicked.
I'm satisfied now.
They seem to be on top of things, virtually every complaint I had about the Fortress article was corrected with the Death Knight one, and now hours after complaints about the Savage Tide Spoiler on the wizards forum that's fixed too.
Still would have prefered Paizo to be doing print editions, but at least they are listening.
Yeah, I'd e-mailed the author and he seemed very decent about it -- basically said he figured it'd be OK since the magazines were all out, but he saw the point and said he'd get the spoiler text added.
Nice -- thanks!
Personally the Demogorgon article annoyed me more.
Demogorgon article? I'm searching the WotC site, and I'm not finding it.

As stated in another thread, you better hope none of your players get their hands on Dragon #259 as well. The spoiler in #360 is minuscule compared to the complete adventure-by-adventure rundown of the whole adventure path in Savage Tidings in #259.
Just in case you didn't know.

The Demonicom article contained a little note of Demogorgons Savage Tides plan.
