One heavy hoof comes down on the last skeleton and forcibly deanimates it.
Out of combat!
The glints on the floor prove to be broken glass. The body is that of a male dhampir in robes, who appears to have been killed by the skeletons. A search of his body turns up something of a to-do list, detailing his plan to create an army of undead from the "fish-people" who come to the spring. He wears a pair of bracers and an amulet, both of which detect as magic (I'm assuming that Lo'Rai and/or Simon will check, and try to identify them). They are, respectively, bracers of armor +1 and an amulet of natural armor +1.

"What did this fool do, make some minions and then die by their hands?"
Ishingka takes the amulet gratefully and loops it around her not-so slender neck. "Why Simon, you give the nicest gifts. Does it make me look fetching?" Ishingka places a hand on her hip, bats her eyelashes and strikes a pose that is actually somewhat decent for a tall, muscled warrior with a foul mouth. She holds it for a few breaths, and then bursts out laughing.
She grows more serious after a moment. "We'll have to tell our friend back at miniature Absalom. At least his compatriots' souls were far gone before their bodies were desecrated, Sinashakti be praised."

"So it would appear." Xukong probes the dead dhampir's body with its sword, cutting it open to examine its internal organs before standing back up with a stiff jerking motion. "What interests me more is the fact that he thought he could create a full army from gillman pilgrims...which would have to mean heavy traffic here...and yet, nothing to stop newcomers from being warned of the fate of the old. All very ambitious for such an ineffective necromancer."

Simon shrugs, "Hey, plans go wrong sometimes ... who knows what he might have had in mind. It might have been a really sound idea that just didn't quite work out." He looks at he body and the destroyed undead, "Still, lessons to be learned."
Simon grins up at Ishingka, "I don't know that fetching goes quite far enough."
Then the young mage begins giving the room a thorough investigation, looking for anything else there is to see.
Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Anything else of use? Any secret passageways or other clues?

Where would he store them? Suddenly I'm picturing a sealed underground legion a la the terra cotta warriors. Adventurers would be an additional hazard - or even just Pharasmin Inquisitors trolling for undead out of principle. Maybe Geb has a "bank" for storing mindless undead, though....
"That possibility had occurred to me. You're right - it's one we'd best not ignore."

Simon pauses to give the strange man an 'of course I'm right' look. Then, he stops his search and taps the wall. "Hey, guys ... guess what I just found?"
He rolls the stone away and holds his lit coin into the passageway. "So, who goes into the creepy hole first?"

"I'll go, and Yarricki, bring Buzz, so that he can fly around anything we encounter. A surrounded enemy is my favorite, heroic anecdotes notwithstanding."
Ishingka advances warily, alert for further attacks. She thinks she hears something cutting through the background noise of dripping water...a faint, high-pitched voice, far in the distance, interrupted by a deep bellow of rage.
The sounds grow louder as she continues up the narrow tunnel, the rest of the party following along. A vagary of acoustics suddenly makes the voice much clearer--"As the legendary Gregaro Voth successfully battled the wild beasts of the Mwangi Expanse, so shall I defeat you, foul servant of Lamashtu!" It sounds rather like Janira.
The party hustles along, trying to reach their mentor before the minotaur. Ishingka is in the lead, closely followed by Ronan on Barley, with the rest of you trailing behind. In their hurry, though, everyone except Simon fails to notice something of considerable interest until it's too late...and Simon's in no position to warn Ishingka.
Oops, misread the monster description. Ishingka still gets a save, but it's a different one (and she made it).
The bloodrager walks into something unseen that fills the tunnel in front of her, and is engulfed by it. Its corrosive secretions burn her flesh for 4 HP of acid damage, but although they carry a disquieting numbness she can still act. Ishingka is also pinned, and is unable to breathe.
Simon, you can act in the surprise round before the enemy does. It's a little hard to see anything up there, though.

So sorry for the delay. I intended to post again last night, but was unable to do so.
"Ooze!" Simon barks out, blurting out info as it occurs to him, "Sightless. Mindless. No physical weak spots (immune to sneak attack/crits)and immune to cold."
He checks the hallways cramped quarters. "Fall back! When we can surround it, hit it with all we have! Ishingka will have to survive that long!"
I'm assuming we can affect Ishingka with spells while she's in there? Let me know if that's incorrect, as it'll change my efforts.
Suiting actions to his own words, Simon steps back and pulls his wand out.

Thats why I suggested we back up. Barley is standing at an intersection of multiple tunnels. If we can get the ooze into the intersection, people can take those side passages to flank it.

I hadn't realized this either. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I guess if I really wanted to pull it off, I could 1-round cast it, then hold the charge until I can touch it to Ishingka. Though can you hold the charge on a wand?

The creature strikes at Ronan, but the cavalier dodges the wave of protoplasm.
Round 1:

Simon
Ronan
Lo'Rai
Cube
Ishingka
Yarricki
Xukong
At her next action, Ishingka will be able to tear herself free of the creature's embrace. A few things happen before that, though--Simon, Ronan, and Lo-Rai, you're all up!
True; wasn't sure if you were going to reconsider. In the interests of moving things along, I'll have Lo'Rai delay.
Round 1 (ongoing):
Initiative order

Ronan-acted
Lo'Rai-delaying

Xukong
The cube slides forward, carrying Ishingka with it, and misses Ronan again. Ishingka tears herself free of its grasp, though not before the creature's acid slime continues to burn at her for another 3 HP. Yarricki and Buzz move up behind Simon.
Ishingka, you can choose to come out in any square adjacent to the cube. Xukong is up!

Patience is a virtue, Xukong thinks to itself as it sees an opening, seizes it, and lashes out with its sword.

Despite having to reach past Xukong, Ronan's lance strikes home, disrupting some internal equilibrium in the ooze. It melts away into fuming puddles on the cavern floor.

As the living goo disperses, Simon carefully steps over it towards Ishingka. "Nice job, guys," he says as he presses its tip to her dark skin. Healing filth creeps through her veins, and the burns recede to nothing.
1 more charge off Simon's wand. Ishingka heals 10 hp.
"So," he says, pointing toward the unexplored section of the cave with his wand, "keep going? That minotaur won't kill itself."

A young and skinny woman with green skin and pointed teeth enters the back room of the inn, noting she is the first one here. She is dressed in simple yet fine robes of black and white, her black hair tied back into a neat ponytail.
"Well hello. I thought I would be the first one here. Guess not."
She sets her books down, keeping her staff within arms reach as she opens a dusty tome entitled Magicks and the History of Alchemy.
This is my character. I planned for her to be an Evocation Wizard. Still have to get her character sheet built up, but she's mostly done.

The jarring screech of sharp-edged metal on stone comes from down the street, getting louder as it gets closer, then abruptly stops as it reaches the door. Exactly six raps on the door are heard, then a moment of silence before the door is finally opened, and in walks a profoundly disquieting individual: Sinuous muscles can be seen beneath marble-white skin, its movements are rigid, odd, and punctuated by the occasional small spasm, and its sex is impossible to determine for sure, for in addition to its functional yet decorative attire, it wears a stunning metal-and-cloth full mask that reveals only the wearer's eyes: two stark white almonds, as cold and bright as distant stars. Its right arm hangs rather limply over a small hexagonal spellbook and a red coral wand carved into a pitchfork shape, and its left arm rests on the hilt of a massive sword that has clearly enjoyed a fresh sharpening courtesy of the cobblestones outside. It acknowledges Lo'Rai with a sudden, jerky bow, flashes its Sign of the Open Road, then takes a seat next to an end table and begins playing solitaire with a deck of fine carved ivory cards.

"And a good day to you too." She notes the man's unusual movements, but doesn't think it important. She returns to her studies, realizing that she has been the only person of their group to speak.
Still, another's mannerisms is their business, and who was she to pry in another's disposition?
"So how did you two get invited here? I received an invitation from a superior, but that was it just me."
Fun question I ask in every campaign I join. If your character had a voice actor, who would it be?

Hey, let's not preemptively judge. I'm still trying to figure out how Xukong sounds, actually; I guess I don't think quite that extensively about voices. As for who'd play it, I guess it wouldn't be any actor I can actually name (I'm actually an actor myself, but I'm more than a little out of practice due to a drought of opportunities, and am now trying to hammer out the deep and unsightly dents in my head from years stuck in gaming environments where creative play was actively discouraged). Maybe it would be done by one of the more state-of-the-art speech synthesizers.
Xukong looks up from its cards.
"Your question puzzles me," It says in a voice like the wind. "Just as you received an invitation, so did I. The Society is appreciably meticulous about such things."
An explicit invitation will be forthcoming, once I have time. Today was supposed to be a day for me to travel, but I've spent most of the morning dealing with work stuff. The joys of email on your phone....
Incidentally, Xukong, one of the people I game with on occasion used to play in a GURPS campaign run by the late John M. Ford and set in the world of Ford's novel The Dragon, Waiting. Apparently most of the players were theater people, so it was quite heavy on the high-quality RP.

and, no offense to any of you fine folk, but I"ll likely wait to do an RP intro until Carbide gets the game thread properly intro'd. I like to handle all that stuff "in scene". :)

A female gnome enter the lodge, followed by a rather big wasp (medium sized)
"Stay!" the gnome orders the wasp and the wasp sits down on the ground. "Well met! I am Yarricki and this is, for want of a better name: Buzz!"
The gnome holds a lance and is equipped with leather armor. Her hair is a vibrant green and she is rather well-muscled for the average gnome. You also note a club and a sickle at her side.
Disclaimer: she is trying to train the wasp, but the darn vermin isn't much use until Yarricki is lvl 4

When the wasp enters the room, Lo jumps with a screech, her decorated quarterstaff jumping to her hands. She calms a little when she sees the gnome give it commands.
"Oh...you've trained it. Sorry, just...bugs scare me." She sits back down, still keeping her quarterstaff in hand.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Lo'Rai, scribe and scholar."

A half-orc armed to the tusks appears in the doorway, less gray-green than the average outcast of Belkzen. A particular artistic and urbane mien is cast by her clothing and hairstyle--still martial, but refined in a way not seen in the countryside. Not incredibly tall, but tall enough, her rather lovely features sport an intricate asymmetrical facial tattoo in dark green and ochre of stylized horses, trumpets, and a winding road that disappears down her neck and back. She grins, showing more of her formidable thick canines.
"Well, O Finders of Paths, I for one am quite pleased to see that you lot won't be kicking my arse with advanced magicking and whatever else the last group I was thrown in with had," she says with a throaty chuckle, speaking in a compelling and mellifluous voice like dark honey. "Desna's cheeks, I had to use every trick to keep up with them. I go by Ishingka, which of course is an old Orcish family name that refers to the sound of drawing a blade and hitting something with it. You may also refer to me as 'Hey You' and 'Kill It' if hard-pressed." She gives that unnerving smile again, cracking her neck and easing against the wall, relaxed yet no doubt ready to fight at the drop of a coin.

"Now now, Lo'Rai." the gnome responds soothingly "a proper scholar would know that all natural creatures have their place in the circle of life and death. And would you think that the holy Calistrae would choose a wasp as her holy creature if she thought a wasp was scary?"
Lo'Rai: isn't it nice when opportunities arise to better define your character?
Yarricki smiles and introduces herself to Ishingka "Well met, I am Yarirki. I posses some small magics, but would never call myself an advanced magic user"

Just a note, when I read Simon's posts his voice to me is Dante Basco and I think it fits the character. Kinda cocky, a little self-righteous, and invincible (or so he thinks).

Zuko, huh? Interesting. You've definitely got the descriptors dead-on (though I wouldn't have added "kinda" and "a little" in there. :D ).
Zuko has a laid-back "bad boy/cool guy" sound to him that I wouldn't have put on Simon. Simon is too much of a nerd who believes he can out-smart any opponent or problem. He's pretty much only a 'cool guy' in his own head, though he is out to convince everyone else that's the case.

Ha! Geez, I hope not.
Tangent, sort of:
Actually, that's how I came up with this concept in the first place (well, not Gilderoy Lockhard, but starting at the grown-up version). Not that it's all that original of a concept.
I was reading the forums, shaking my head at some of the self-assured, immature, self-important posts (which I'm sure belonged to nobody in this thread), and I realized that this was the kind of person who wants to grow up to be a campaign's BBEG.
thats when it hit me ... i desperately need to play the guy who's got the potential to grow up to be a BBEG mega-caster. It's why Simon (such a common-sounding name) has the last name Zoraelius (which just sounds "powerful-wizard-y")

Incidentally, I'm trying to figure out my deity - Nethys would be a good choice, but I'm wondering if perhaps there's something more 'niche' for this character. I know a lot about the extended Golarion pantheon, but I'm checking to see if maybe someone else can fish up something I've overlooked.

I hope I don't cross a line with this train of thought/behind-the-scenes post.
When I had originally made Lo'Rai, I was gonna place her under a specific category that publishers for Pathfinder had done for all of the Iconics. In order to appeal to more people, they made all of the Iconics bisexual(ironically, the wizard's backstory makes such a claim questionable since he doesn't have a family and he hates the gods). They also stated that Merisiel, the rogue, is actually more inclined toward women.
I had planned to make Lo'Rai gay and make her ever so subtly swoon for the female in the party with the highest Cha. Incidentally, that would be Ishingka. However, Simon is making this kinda difficult, and now I'm thinking she's just bisexual with lesbian tendencies.
Again, I hope this train of thought hasn't offended anyone.
For Ishingka:
And personally, I like the tusks and green skin.
For Simon:
Lo'Rai is also 9 years older than Simon, just a heads up.

In order to appeal to more people, they made all of the Iconics bisexual(ironically, the wizard's backstory makes such a claim questionable since he doesn't have a family and he hates the gods)....
basically they are a further evolution of the old faction missions. Important parts to know:

- a gm can only check of one of the GM checkboxes if he assigns a chronicle to a character
- there is no GM administration involved
