Ouidda's speech to the People's Council is about the "Pathfinder scourge". I want to roleplay her speech, but I'm having trouble figuring out what this scourge is. Is she accusing the PFS of something specific? Am I just missing something in the story?
How did you other GM's handle this part of the scenario?

Let's see how many negative ads we can make up about the Pathfinder Society!
*They are grave robbers and corpse-defilers.
*They are robbing our nation of its cultural heritage.
*They are interfering in our internal politics. (example, treating with the fey)
*Their organization is full of spies from other nations.
*Their operatives are loose cannons who hack first and speak with dead later.
*Their lodges are stuffed full of dangerous artifacts that threaten the cities they occupy.
*They make liberal use of slaves, and some of their members practice slave-taking for their day jobs.
I just played this one last night, so I haven't had a chance to prep it yet.

In addition to what Doug listed, this is from a list of stuff I plan on using for the speech I am typing up. It’s from things that Pathfinders have been assigned to do during missions, or I have seen or heard them do during the course of scenarios (though some of these are presented at a slant by Ouidda). I did a similar list when I ran this a few weeks ago, and I’m trying to recreate it for Gen Con.
-Bribing officials.
-Murdered lawful authorities in towns and cities.
-Attacked and killed town guards.
-Unprovokedly murdered the entire crews of ships and then stealing the vessel.
-Committed assassinations.
-Stolen valuable artifacts from museums.
-Brought back dangerous artifacts back from places such as the Mwangi Expanse and elsewhere that have resulted in many deaths.
-Burned down numerous inns and other honest establishments.
-Killed many exotic or rare beasts.
-Dealing with nefarious criminal organizations and individuals.
-Involvement in the black market.
-Smuggling.
-Aiding illegal cults.
-Involved in the raising of undead.
-Initiated illegal, and usually fatal, duels.
-Participated and furthered the slave trade.
-Assisted a false and mad claimant to the non-existent throne of Augustana.
-Stolen the bodies from graves.
-Assisted pirates and bandits.
-Worked and allied with dangerous criminals and terrorists.
-Broken dangerous prisoners out of high security prisons.
-Have worked with dangerous fey who have attacked Andorans invaluable lumber trade.
-The Pathfinders are made up of many dangerous devil worshipers and summoners.
-The Society aids and works with dangerous enemies of Andoran such as Cheliax and Taldor.
That’s everything I can think of off the top of my head.
