Easter eggs? (there may be spoilers)

[Davelozzi]

Has anyone started a thread (or some other location) to track various easter eggs or other connections between the various Pathfinder APs and Pathfinder/GameMastery modules?

For example, I thought that there was someone in Sandpoint that had a sibling in Korvosa, but I haven't been able to find the connection flipping through the old issues.

Also, there was the connection...

Spoiler:

between the two diseases; Vorel's Phage in Foxglove Manor (Skinsaw Murders) and Blood Veil in Seven Days to the Grave, in that the latter is a variant based off the former

.

So, what else have we seen in the way of connections?

Spoiler:

I heard a rumor that if you kill Karzoug using the tiny magical throwing dagger of returning that you gain from the imp in Burnt Offerings it unlocks a god-mode and you can replay the entire AP with immortal 20th level PCs.

Spoiler:

Sorry. I failed a will save when I saw the term Easter Egg.

Spoiler:

Aldern's sisters are in Korvosa. Zeeva Foxglove is mentioned as running a Market in the Guide to Korvosa.

The Vancaskerkin family:

Spoiler:

Orik Vancaskerkin (member of Nualia's band, Pathfinder #1) has a brother in Korvosa, Verik Vancaskerkin (Slaughterhouse Offices, Pathfinder #7).

Regarding the Voon family:

Spoiler:

In the Sandpoint article, Vorvashali Voon runs a shop with an eclectic collection of oddities for sale. In the Gazeteer, Warlord Voradni Voon laid seige to Absalom in the year 23 ar (4616 years earlier). Conclusion: They must be related!

Spoiler:

It is mentioned in volume 1 I think of CotCT, Grau is origionally from Sandpoint, if I remember rightly.

Spoiler:

Not sure if this counts, but the boxes in the journel articles all the way through play a *vital* role in CotCT.

Spoiler:

In "Seven Days to the Grave", one of the crates listed in the manifest in the former Arkona warehouse contains a rat monkey from S. Island. This is a reference to the Sumatran Rat Monkey from Skull Island that instigated the zombie outbreak in Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive".

Someone should do a write-up for one of the pathfinder wikis of all this cross referenced goodness. :)

Cool thread – sorry I am late.

Spoiler:

In the (then) Gamemastery module J1: “Entombed with the Pharaohs” there is an evil NPC, named Scepter. Scepter is an ex-pathfinder turned evoker-assassin.

There is actually a brief reference to Scepter and his earlier career as a Pathfinder at the very tale end of the original “Pathfinder’s Journal” in PF #1: “Burnt Offerings. It talks about Scepter’s accounts of the Gozarin Necropolis in Osirion.

But here’s the extra part that wigs me out:

Spoiler:

The author, Eric Mona, did know that Scepter was slated to be an NPC in an upcoming module. But what he didn’t know (because it wasn’t thought up yet) was that in J1: “Entombed with the Pharaohs” there are two numbers that pop up an inordinate number of times, 11 and particularly 56. There’s a sidebar on this numerology and its significance to the module. For example, every 56 years specific planets align causing a specific shift in the sand uncovering certain pyramids.

At the time Eric Mona wrote “Pathfinder’s Journal” in “Burnt Offerings”, however, this sidebar in J1 was not yet out. Nevertheless, the fictional volume of Pathfinder in which Scepter’s work on Osirion is supposedly published is conveniently 56. Prescient.

The Vancaskerikin family to me sounds like a combination of the names 'Vanderboren' and 'Smallcask' that appeared throughout several Dungeon APs. Someone at Paizo just likes the word 'cask.'
