Kendra decided to travel with PCs to Lepidstadt to continue her education and was left alone on the road so PCs could investigate a disturbance. Kendra was then promptly kidnapped by a WW agent, leaving the PCs feeling like utter failures for failing to protect her as per the professors will. Thinking of using her in part 5 or 6 as a high level Vampire Diviner villain.
Revisiting character creation for previous APs while waiting on the Hell's Vengeance Player's Guide...
Ireena, N(G) female changeling witch (hex channeler); Mist Child alternate racial trait; Cauldron and Healing hexes (Extra Hex feat), Ethereal patron; devout worshiper of Pharasma raised by the church (Child of the Temple trait) with a raven familiar (planning on taking Improved Familiar at 7th level to replace with a nosoi psychopomp); met with Petros Lorrimor several times as he taught classes for the church (Inspired by Greatness)
Lyras Silverharp, NG male half-elf bard (silver balladeer); Sociable alternate racial trait; now a successful performer after a rough adolescence as a petty thief (Vagabond Child trait); rescuing Petros Lorrimor, almost by accident (Chance Savior), was a key event in turning his life around, as Petros introduced him to several patrons and other performers to get his "legitimate" career started
Petra, LG female human paladin (mind sword); worships Sarenrae (Flame of the Dawnflower trait); scimitar/shield bash paladin (Improved Shield Bash, Two-Weapon Fighting) that dislikes undead (Subject of Study) after losing her family to a pack of ghouls; Petros Lorrimor helped her with learning how recognize and fight undead
Sergei, N(L) male human (for the extra cleric spells on the spell list FCB) shaman (true silvered throne); Dual Talent alternate racial trait (to help with this pretty MAD character); Lore spirit (will take the Arcane Enlightenment hex at 2nd level); the son of a successful trader (Merchant trait) attempting to join the Esoteric Order of the Palatine Eye, Petros Lorrimor has acted as a reference and an occasional patron (On the Payroll); fascinated by the occult (Psychic Sensitivity; planning on taking Psychic Adept (detect psychic significance) at 3rd level); may take a couple levels of cryptbreaker alchemist at 5th-6th character level

I'm expecting an ugly, ugly AP.
No divine caster, no social skills to speak of. Two (Tiefling and Slayer) are on the cusp of being evil. I'm expecting villagers with torches and pitchforks by week 3.
Ugly, but blessedly short for that group. The "nearly evil" part wouldn't be a serious impediment if someone else could be the party "face", but parts of this AP are rather dependent on Diplomacy and all of it will keep a divine healer (or two, in our case) quite busy.
