History NightmareFuel / Pathfinder

** The ogre attack on Fort Rannick, and the carnage the [=PCs=] walk in on. One ogre is making dough from [[{{Squick}} the guards' entrails]], one wears a bunch of dead minks in place of his severed jaw, one writes graffiti using a beheaded corpse as a brush, one enjoys playing with the corpse of a cleric of Erastil, and there's the [[BadBoss absolutely]] [[AbusiveParents brutal]] ways that Jaagreth Kreeg maintains control over his clan. The [=PCs=] are given plenty of opportunities to KickTheSonOfABitch; after seeing all this, they may very well take them.

** Yet another instance of [[SurpriseCreepy startlingly disturbing goblins]] comes in Part Three, in Area A17 of the Glassworks. With Lonjiku Kaijitsu being the DeadGuyOnDisplay, the goblins tried to copy their boss’s masterpiece with the dismembered corpses of the Glassworks’ staff.

*** Finally, Trelmarixian [[TheRedBaron the Black]], [[InsaneEqualsViolent Horseman of Famine]], was a mortal tiefling who managed to kick off a [[ApocalypseWow Class 5 apocalypse,]] causing everyone on his planet to starve to death, himself included. His madness persists even after his expiration, as he [[HorrorHunger personally devoured his predecessor]], Lyutheria the Parasite Queen, just as he became her most trusted harbinger. But even as he bears the title of Horseman, Lyutheria lives on in his mind, exacerbating his madness and corrupting him even further.

** The flood. Besides the danger of a young girl [[AdultFear getting eaten by a gigantic snake]], there’s also the sudden appearance of [[EldritchAbomination Black Magga]].

** The “Monster in the Closet” encounter in Part Two. [[LaughablyEvil You know those goblins]] [[HarmlessVillain that all]] ''[[HarmlessVillain Pathfinder]]'' [[MinionWithAnFInEvil players laugh at]]? [[NotSoHarmlessVillain One of them]], cornered, starving and going crazy, ''[[ImAHumanitarian eats someone's]] [[FacialHorror face off.]] [[AdultFear In front of his young son.]]''

** Zon-Kuthon's appearance is a nightmare in itself, due to his mad devotion to self-mutilation and his divine resistance to injury and harm. He was once one of the most beautiful gods around, but now... [[spoiler:he doesn't have lips anymore, revealing his teeth in a hideous grimace; his left eye has been gouged out and replaced with a chunk of crystal; what's left of his face is twisted into tortured leers by the hooks and extreme piercings pulling at his skin; a halo of metal spikes is embedded in his cranium, pulling his torn skin into a bloody sunburst; the back of his skull has been carved out to expose his brain; metal spikes are threaded under the skin of his arms; finally, most of his abdomen is just... gone, and black metal censers swing from chains attached to rings set around his exposed, bloody ribs]]. Understandably, even his worshippers prefer to just depict him as a gaunt man with a single major wound.

** One of his rituals, reserved for only the luckiest of Kuthites, is known as the [[SuperFunHappyThingOfDoom "Joymaking"]]. It consists of the the Worshiper having their limbs and non-vital organs amputated so that they remain a helpless head and torso, destined to live the rest of their lives as the subjects of limitless torture.

*** Szuriel, [[SociopathicSoldier Horseman]] [[BloodKnight of]] [[GeneralRipper War]], rents out her daemonic armies to other fiendish purposes: in return, her armies get to [[YourSoulIsMine eat the souls of their enemies.]] She has experience with armies, as well: before her ascension to godhood, she betrayed the church she worshiped as a mortal after she was excommunicated. How bad was the betrayal? She had ''every single member of her former faith'' '''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath crucified]]''' as she crowned herself [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen empress of the nation.]] Even after her assassination, she still has a loyal army willing to fight to the death... and for it.

*** Charon, [[EvilOldFolks Horseman of Death]], practically owns the River of Souls in all but name. His Thanadaemons offer safe travel around the mind-breaking torrents, but there's [[DealWithTheDevil always some sort of a price.]] He is the only Horseman of Death in existence, having fended off all other would-be usurpers. He brokered the deal with Urgathoa and Zyphus to live in their plane of Abbadon, keeping a close eye on both deities as they dwell there. A shrewd deal-broker and tactician, he is also a wicked inventor, once creating a device so powerful and efficient in exterminating life that it ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards horrified and repulsed Asmodeus.]]''
