Thanks. I think I'm going to try for Lawful Good at first, to see if there's a line that can be toed for a while, Arthas Menethil-style (Warcraft series).

Judging from the map it looks like there's going to be a reasonable amount of mountain adventuring.

My guess is several trips along the shore to the nearest few towns and then inland through mountains and into deep trouble.

Paizo blog has two sample pages from the Players Guide up. And it sounds like my request for Varisian names is going to be included in the guide, wee!

As far as I know there will be a PDF of the Player's Guide available for free download off of the Paizo site. Having said that, I think a hard copy of the PG will only be $2. Either way, I get a free copy of the PG with my subscription (although I promise I'll be good and not read the actual adventure until we've finished it

I thought the following entry from the Paizo Blog might spark some seeds of creativity for some of you, so here's a cut-and-paste straight from paizo's site (all due accolades given to paizo and paizo.com--this is their work, not mine):
The Sandpoint Devil
Wednesday, June 13, 2007
The real world is a great resource for monsters. Many of the game's critters come from real-world myth and legend, but one venue that seems to have been largely ignored are cryptozoological accounts. I'm talking about Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, of course, but also about more obscure creatures like the hodag, Mokele-Mbembe, and the Yowie. And, of course, the Jersey Devil, the inspiration for one of Pathfinder's first new monsters. Rumors and legends of a rarely seen but terrible monster have preyed upon the fears of Sandpoint's populace for decades. The rumors listed below comprise the most common—though oft-conflicting—tales regarding the famed Sandpoint devil.
Bad Omen: It's bad luck to see the Sandpoint devil. Any who do are cursed to suffer an ill fate. Before tragedies, murders, and shipwrecks, it's said the devil flies unseen by all but the doomed through the night sky.
Devil-Spawned: The Sandpoint devil is the son of a widow named Agatha Leeds, a woman who used to live north of town and was said to practice dark magics and consort with evil beings. When she wandered into town round with child, she ignored all questions about her pregnancy. Weeks later, her home was found reduced to cinders with its mysterious owner missing. It wasn't long thereafter that the first sightings of the Sandpoint devil began.
Disappearances: Evidence of Sandpoint devil sightings often disappears before it can be examined. Tracks, bitten animals, weapons dripping with its blood, and similar such evidence simply vanish, no matter how well watched or guarded. In fact, even those who have sought to catch or kill the Sandpoint devil have disappeared without a trace, both during their hunts and in the weeks after returning home from a failed attempt.
Fire Starter: Paintings and reports of the Sandpoint devil mysteriously catch on fire, sometimes burning entire homes to the ground.
Immortal Protector: Some Varisians claim they Sandpoint devil has lived along the Lost Coast for thousands of years, and that it protects the coast's resources from those who seek to exploit the land. Its modern misdeeds are merely its way of fending off the most recent encroachment of civilization.
One of Many: The Sandpoint devil is sometimes seen in the company of other local legends and spooks, most commonly a white stag, the ghost of a young girl, and a zombie with missing feet.
