I noted a rather glaring ommission in Serpent's Skull, and that's the lack of information on the fates of the other members of Kline's party.
By the time the party gets to him, they should be 15th level and have access to Resurrection. Kline would doubtless want to regain his companions, and divination magic could track them down, or their remains (I doubt they were disintegrated).
You even stumble across the body of Sirennenia (? at work), and she hasn't even been dead that long, and is 'recognizable'. But levels aren't given for her, despite the fact that ANY party would want to bring back a fellow Pathfinder, if for nothing else then to help provide security for the Pathfinder expedition up above on the surface, and back-up assistance for the big fight that is looming.
So, I've a request to the authors of the AP...could we get some basic stats for the other members of Kline's party?
I'd just like names and levels, if nothing else. You were pretty eclectic with Kline, so I'm thinking some weird combos are coming. Feats and stats if you are feeling charitable, along with appearence.
Thanks!

You'll find out what happened to them in Sanctum of the Serpent God. And I believe you'll find they're a bit difficult to track down via divination. :->
Always with the teasing! :)

Stats for Eando's party would only get in the way of the adventure. Not only would putting stats for dead characters have forced us to remove actual adventure content, but the adventure is SUPPOSED to be about the PCs, not the NPCs. There's already PLENTY of recurring NPCs for the GM to juggle without us setting things up to introduce an entirely new allied adventuring party.
Furthermore, most of the authors of this AP are already working on Carrion Crown or Jade Regent—I'd rather they stay focused on that task than build stats for old adventures.
Eando's levels are what they are because we had to build someone who could do everything he did in the Pathfidner Journals for Pathfinder #2–#18. He does a lot of things in there that a single class bard, rogue, or sorcerer wouldn't really be able to do.
All that said... building stats for Eando's old party sounds like a GREAT project for fans on this thread! Let's see what you all can come up with!

Eando Kline, I'm sure, is 12th level for a reason. He's in the Pathfinder Society, afterall.
I think the members of his party should be 12th level, nothing more.
An obvious response might be that Kline left the Society and could have advanced beyond 12th, but even still, the spirit of Eando Kline is as a Pathfinder and that commits him to the rules of organized play. Keep him 12th level. And his party.

He's 12th level because when we statted him up in PF #18, he was slightly lower level, and we figured he'd have gained a few levels since then. Also, because we wanted him to be lower level than the PCs but not THAT much lower in level; he did, after all, need to be high enough level to actually survive to a point where he could get nabbed the way he did.
The fact that he's 12th level and that that's the level cap for Pathfinder Society is not much more than a funny coincidence. We don't cap Pathfinder agents to 12th level in non PFS products. Eando (and the APs) aren't part of PFS.
There's no way a bunch of 12th level NPC's are going to overshine a bunch of 16th level PC's. Like I said, leaving them behind as site security, or as useful lieutenants to help in the big fight coming.
I'd like to know what Selennia is supposed to be, for instance. I'm guessing the party rogue, so the Succubus could imitate her, but she could have been a sorceress, I just don't know. She'd have quite the mad on for killing serpentfolk and the naga, and finding out the succubus was playing at being her...

Unfortunately, records of Eando Kline expedition are sparse. He seemed to want to avoid drawing the ire of the powerful Pathfinder Guild. Beyond that at this time it appears most involved have perished. However, I have pieced together this list of the probable members of the group:
Eando Kline (C/G human Bard 5/Rogue 6/Sorcerer 1)
Selennia (N human [Varisian] Rogue 3/ Sorcerer 4/ Arcane Trickster 5)
Juliver (C/N half-elf Rogue 5/ Pathfinder Chronicler 3)
Nikoli Taranda (C/G human [Varisian] Fighter 10/Rogue 2)
Beagbroc Hamranäve (N/G dwarven Cave Druid 12)
Inghard Hamranäve (N dwarven Alchemist 12)
Zoltan (C/G half-orc Inquisitor of Desna 12)
Kessie (C/N half-orc Oracle of Bone 3/Barbarian 3/Rage Prophet 6)
Edwin Howell III (N/E human [Taldan] Conjuror 12)
Ofrah (N half-elf Cleric of Nethys 12)
Again there are not firm records to confirm these are the true members. I will continue to follow leads and provide updates as I am able.
