Or he doesn't need the help, but he appreciates it! :) Jal Dorak If you need it to make sense, Zastoran can explain after the fact (or breathlessly during) that he had exhausted his daily compliment of spells battling heat stroke or scorpions or wild dogs, etc. Have him show up to give the PCs a few hints or some support. If the PCs ally with Kardswann, it'd probably be best to treat him in the same way the harpy is treated in the last adventure. It's FAR more likely that the PCs will end up allying with the harpy, which is why she shows up in the last adventure as a link. Kardswann's redemption is a possibility, but not a probability, and as such it wasn't worth spending much space on supporting in the adventures to follow. Very few parties will think of redeeming Kardswann, and of those, few of THEM will be successful.

Is it maybe worth an extra victory point or two in PF #30 if he has returned to his mistress' side, or is there a 'redeemed' stat block around for him as an ally in the last adventure? What exactly did you have in mind for what the ramifications of redeeming Kardswann are, as it says in PF #19 that it will come into play later, but ends up being one of those things (as far as I can make out) that somehow gets omitted from later installments in the path?
