Voyla takes the key from Warren, and for a fraction of a second their hands touch.
Voyla's cheeks get a red shade, as she quickly turns to face the door again.

Voyla asks for the others to wait for a second with her hands, and then moves too peek around the corner, silently.
Stealth Check:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Perception Check:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 (+1 if traps, +4 to hear the details of a conversation or to find concealed or secret objects (including doors and traps)
If clear, she moves up to find a second secret door, or open a visible one. She will try to hear "movement" or voices behind it, and to check it for traps.

If traps, she will try to disarm them.
Disable Device Check:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Once clear, she will ask the others to move up silently, and won't open the door until they are all there.
There is no traps on either door, and Voyla hears nothing particular.
opening the second secret door, she enters a bigger room, obviously used as the final resting place of important people or warrior, as the eight stone sarcophagus suggest.
In the center of the room, between the two groupings, stands an empty, unlit iron brazier that is covered with soot and smells faintly of past fires. Drapes of dust-covered spider webs cling to the ceiling.
This large room is dark and silent, the only chamber you encountered so far with no luminescent moss.

Voyla has dark thoughts of giant spiders descending on them all.
"Do we lit the brazier?" - she asks the others.

Voyla smiles charmingly at Warren, and moves away to let him pass.
She is relieved that, with his darkvision, he won't be able to see the crimson tint in her cheeks.

Voyla lets a small chuckle at Warren's fumble, taking a hand to her mouth, covering it.
That was right in front of him, Joza frowns to herself as Warren thuds into one of the sarcophagi. Is human eyesight really that bad when not in direct sunlight?
"Maybe we should also check the door (the door leading south) over there before we start bringing more light down here," she suggests.

Wait...I know he got a 1 on his perception check, but still he has darkvision so wouldn't he had seen the coffin right in front of him? Not trying to cause any drama just trying to make sense of things.

I would imagine it as he is so focused in checking the ceiling, for example, he accidentally trips with the sarcophagy. Good fun times!
Voyla moves next to the wall to the south door, and checks it for traps.
Perception Check:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 (+1 if traps, +4 to hear the details of a conversation or to find concealed or secret objects, including doors and traps)
"I'm fine thank you. Was looking up instead of where I was walking. That will teach me to watch where I'm going.". Warren chuckles as he rubs his knee.
Definitely not the way to make a good impression. And that HURTS.

Rahiv slips his way into the room past Voyla and Warren using his lithe frame to do so with ease. He runs a hand along one of the coffins "Someone...is fond of death in here, too many coffins for my taste. One reason why most creatures prefer not to delve into earth." he said as he looked around.
It was just there was fun purpose (1 on a perception roll
As Rahiv moves inside the room,a chill breeze arises from nowhere with an eerie howl. The room seems to darken, and in the sudden gloom, scores of small spectral eyeballs appear, drifting with the breeze. They peer
intensely before fading away.

Voyla presses herself against the wall, a panic look on her face.
"What was that?!?"

Joza feels her fur stand on end for a moment as the spectral eyes look around and fade from sight. "Whatever that was, it can't be good!" she hisses, looking around nervously.
@Dav: sowwy, I should have thought of that.My bad.
Dav:
it's a programmed image spell, a powerful illusion spell which is triffered in special circumstances chosen by the caster. You suspect entering the room did the trick..
"If it's safe, we should probably keep moving," Joza whispers softly. Although she wasn't quite sure what the strange bit of magic they'd just witnessed was for, she did know that she'd rather not linger in this room any longer than necessary.

Voyla winks at Warren and moves next to the wall to the south door, checking it for traps.
Perception Check:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 (+1 if traps, +4 to hear the details of a conversation or to find concealed or secret objects, including doors and traps)

"Ah I see why my magic was unable to detect this spell: this is a programmed image spell, a powerful illusion spell which is triggered by special circumstances chosen by the caster. In this case, by entering the room. Because we hadn't entered the room yet, and thus triggering the spell, my magic was unable to sense the spell. Usually you can detect any sort of magic, but spells like that are difficult to detect and notice until they're activated. They can be spotted through mostly luck. Magic is both a science and an art. Hm...I wonder if the caster meant to scare away intruders with this spell. Usually that's what they're meant to do. I have to think about it some more. Hm...Voyla if you could check the coffin please, but be very very careful."
Joza too raises an eyebrow at the suggestion to check the sarcophagi. "We should respect the places of the dead and not disturb them any more than we have to," she says quietly.

Dav chuckled to himself as he said to both Warren and Joza, "Not really grave robbing but more undead checking. Since we did encounter undead in the previous room, it best not to leave something behind that might stab us in the back. I'm just being cautious but some have said that I can be too cautious at times. I don't want to cause any undue stress to any of you. So if you feel that the best course of action is to leave the coffin alone then I agree to it. There is wisdom in both ideas but again I don't want to cause any sort of stress to anyone."

Rahiv listened a bit and kept his fins up while he looked about. The eyes were a rather obnoxious trick to play, one that had halted him in place and honestly scared him silent. When they began speaking about the grave, Joza offered up his preference before he found his words again and simply nodded silently after her.
He did however see Dav's point, though the fact that the undead from earlier came back to life so to speak after it had been dealt a second death worried him.
"I'm unsure about the idea of awakening these...dead if they are anything like the others. Something about the whole thing just seems wrong, more warped then anything I had heard of before." he mentioned as a bit of caution.
He looked at Joza and tilted his head "I believe we were raised along the same lines as far as reverence of nature and life is concerned. But this very spire is a perversion against nature, in a physical sense and a magical if the tales are true. The dead need not what they carry, a proper burial and a way to give back to the mother that made them is all they should need. But I can also understand honoring other's choices...however if might be best to check out this room and make sure that everything is as nature intended, yes?" he said trying to come to a common point in both views.
He thought for a bit and tried to think back to his teachings of old "I can if you request, attempt to discern if there are any...perversions of the natural order and see into the mystical side for unlife." he offered in case people wished to be prepared before they opened the coffins.
Offering to use my 1/day spell of Detect Undead and scan the room and the next room or however many I can manage within the two minutes I can concentrate on it.
Joza furrows her brow for a moment in thought and then finally smiles and nods at both Dav and Rahiv. "Yes, you both have do have a point. If there are more awakened dead then it would be wrong to leave them to suffer."
She glances at Warren, curious to hear his feelings on Rahiv's proposal.

"That spell would be quite useful Rahiv. And I think you're right: the spire seems to radiate corrupted magics. Remember the unnatural darkness on the first level? That was very powerful magics. And on this level, we have necromatic energies just oozing everywhere. Well in the case of an undead skeleton reviving after being destroyed. And that some undead limbs were able to...move about and show some mild intelligence shows that whatever it is that is causing all of this is quite powerful. Take another example: the planar portals opening up and spewing beings from other planes onto our world. Only extremely powerful magic could do that. This magic might be old or just corrupted. There must be a reason for the Azlanti coming here! Were they trying to contain the energies or was another reason."
Warren nods as Rahiv speaks, "That is a good idea. Use your magic to look for undead as they should not be left in their state as Joza said. They should be given the chance to continue their journey to Pharasma."

Voyla stands next to Warren, and nods at his words.
If they are undead, they are inside the stone coffins.
And stone usually blocks any magical detection 1 foot of stone blocks the spell, As Rahiv knows.
But..
The stone coffins aren't very deep. And soon, Rahiv feel the unholy wave of undeath creeping on him.
One..
Two..
Three..
Four..
Five..
Six..
Only the two last coffin on the left of the room are empty of the threat of the unliving.

Rahiv stops and looks at the others not really liking the count. "Six..." he said before patting the two on the very end "These are safe, I'm not much for the odds unless we can take care of it one at a time. I have a bit of power that can work on undead in groups...but it's the same energy I use to heal you so it's a double edged sword. That said, that's a lot to leave behind us/" he said pulling out a bolt for the crossbow.

Warren backs up toward the door and says, "Lets start with one closest to the door and everyone get behind or beside me so that we have a line of retreat out of here if need be. We can use the door as a choke point to hold them off if it comes to that. If someone will open one of these for me, I'll attack whatever comes out."
"I think Voyla or myself should open each other," Joza suggests. "We are the best-equipped after Warren to weather their attacks if it chooses to focus on whoever releases it. But if we are lucky, we can stand aside and it will focus on Warren - giving either of us the opportunity to attack from behind."

"I'll stay somewhere in the center that way I can be in a relatively easy position to hurl my spells at any undead. Acid is quite useful against the living dead."

This does sound interesting. How do you feel about archetypes from Inner Sea Magic? If you're not too keen on them, I'll see what other character ideas I can come up with.
Born among the city, Strider was left to struggle in the times of life as he scavenged through the city for personal items, with no known knowledge of his parents. He grew up without the help of others, and learned on his own. Although this made him, very unsociable with most people and picked up several tools of the trade. Loving to perch on houses and watch for crowds of people to make his snatches of food and other assorted items. Often the best approach is to avoid it all together.
I'm looking at playing a Warpriest of Abadar, with the Golden attendant trait. Could you expand a bit on the function of the Temple of the Golden key in Fort Inevitable: I assume that Law and Judgement are provided by the order of the Pike (the Hellknights), and the Temple has been shouldered out of that one, but I presume that they still provide the functions of a Bank. Is that correct, or do they play any function in overseeing Justice? Am I free to make up their functions as I see fit?
Here we go: I still have to work on the background and some more on his description but here are the stats. Please note the Azlanti Historian bonuses are not factored here due to PCGen not having that trait in it. Sorry about that.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
=================================================
Adaptability (Ex) Half-elves receive Skill Focus as a bonus feat at 1st level.
Bloodline Arcana Whenever you cast a spell with the acid descriptor, that spell deals +1 point of damage per die rolled.
Bonus Bloodline Power Use Select one bloodline power at 1st level that is normally usable a number of times per day equal to 3 + the sorcerer's Charisma modifier. The sorcerer adds +1/2 to the number of uses per day of that bloodline power.
Cantrips You learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spells, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Claws (Su) You can grow claws as a free action. These claws are treated as natural weapons, allowing you to make two claw attacks as a full attack action using your full base attack bonus. This is a supernatural ability. You can use your claws 6 rounds per day.
Draconic Bloodline (Copper) At some point in your family's history, a dragon interbred with your bloodline, and now its ancient power flows through your veins.
Elf Blood (Ex) Half-elves count as both elves and humans for any effect related to race.
Elven Immunities (Ex) Half-elves are immune to magic sleep effects and get a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.
Elven Magic (Ex) Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on caster level checks made to overcome spell resistance. In addition, elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Spellcraft skill checks made to identify the properties of magic items.
Eschew Materials
Keen Senses (Ex) Half-elves receive a +2 bonus on Perception skill checks.
Low-Light Vision (Ex) You can see x2 as far as humans in low illumination. Characters with low-light vision have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Low-Light Vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light. Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.
Magical Knack (Sorcerer) You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a magical creature, either after it found you abandoned in the woods or because your parents often left you in the care of a magical minion. This constant exposure to magic has made its mysteries easy for you to understand, even when you turn your mind to other devotions and tasks. Your caster level in Sorcerer gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn't raise your caster level above your current Hit Dice.
Azlanti Historian The fallen empire of ancient Azlant fires your curiosity and drives you to adventure. Tired of only learning of the empire through dusty tomes you have followed rumors of Azlanti ruins to travel to the Echo Wood, hoping to unearth some new discovery. Perhaps you might even earn a mention of your own in a future historical tome.
You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (history) and Knowledge (local) checks, and one of these skills is a class skill for you. In addition, you gain Azlanti as a bonus language.
Multitalented (Ex) Half-elves choose two favored classes at first level and gain +1 hit point or +1 skill point whenever they take a level in either one of those classes.

Fluff:
Meurasod hates goblins, and seems them as vile vermin to be exterminated. The only thing he hates more than goblins, is arcane magic, and most people that use it. His family has been killed over the years by various wizards and sorcerers. He doesn't go out of his way to slaughter magic users, but will target them in combat.
Its interesting that a lot of people are interested in spell casters. Anyway I was wondering how to do the spoilers with different labels like Crunch and fluff, @Meurasod Spellslayer.

@Shadowrun312 - Spoilers are done with [ spoiler= Crunch ] without the spaces. Of course, to close out the spoiler, you need to add [ /spoiler ] without the spaces at the end of all of the text you want hidden.
@DM Lil" Eschie - I am interested in a Sylph Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade). I didn't see it in your original post, but will you allow the alternate racial traits from Advanced Race Guide for races not covered in the Advanced Player's Guide?
@DM Lil" Eschie- I am also curious about if alternate racial traits are allowed as there are some far better suiting ones out there for Undines that aren't going sorcerer route.
In the "evil" team, will there be a rule against PvP?
It sounds like a great experience: classic dungeon crawl with evil PCs -- but I would bow out if there's a possibility of PvP or any form of competing against other Players (such as for treasure: "So the Rogue gets more treasure than the Barbarian ?!...").
I know you mentioned Cavaliers would be ill-advised due to issues with mounts and close quarters, but what about the handful of archetypes that ditch the mount? :)
@Dave: Traits from the Emerald Spire guide, the Ultimate Campaign, Gods&Magic and Advanced Race books can be used. If there is another Trait that would fit with your background, please give me the reference of the book.
@Shadowrun: daily post as much as possible, maybe less on week end (through I'm more active on week end usually). Catfolks are ok. I don't use mythweaver, sorry.
@Vincent: Swamp rebel would be allowed, but perhaps not very useful.
@Gavmania: Could you give me the reference of the Trait? The Temple of Abadar serves as a bank and all the law and law enforcement is between the hands of the Hellknights. Abadarians may give judicial advice to merchants or used as mediators in inter-merchants conflicts, but thats all.
@Drayen/Vincent: alternate Racial traits from the Race guide are allowed. I like my players to be imaginative.
@WE Ray: small scale PvP might be allowed, but will not be encouraged. The Bad Guys will have to cooperate, even if some trickery is only to be expected. I don't want my players to kill each other: where will be my own perverse pleasure?
@Lady L: unmounted Cavaliers archetypes might be used, of course.
....Looking forward to building a PC proposal for the evil group, but again -- it'll be probably a good week before I get time to really do much except lurk.
@DM Lil' Eschie: That sounds good, I'm really interested. Since mythweaver is not accepted, do I need to detail more in my character sheet in my post? I would be happy to if I need to.
@Drayen Just wanted to mention a thanks for that. Now I can edit some stuff and hide it so it doesn't take up 100 pages lol.
They are both combat traits so I can only take one of them anyway...
The other one at I want is in Ultimate Campaign - Meticulous Concoction.
I am considering taking a drawback for a third trait as well...
I should have the background and description done tonight and ready to post tomorrow night. I'm using my iPhone to post this as I have no internet at my house. I'll also go back and factor in the azlanti historian bonuses in as well. Might take some redoing but shouldn't be that hard I guess. I'll probably change his draconic bloodline to bronze to better explain his curiosity and love of knowledge. Seems I'm up against a lot of great candidates for this adventure! Good luck everyone!
Yeah I am going to be over the road so I will be using my phone to do most of the post, Trucker here. Right now I am at home for another week then heading out. But I will be able to keep up with the game on the phone its a android.
OK I am thinking of a Fetchling Magus with the Eldritch Scion archtype. The bloodline selected depends on whether you would allow this Shadow bloodline which is from a 3PP.
If you do not allow it then I would stick with the Aberrant bloodline.
This would probably be more suited for the Evil team, but I could have him be Neutral if need be.
@Bigrit: I found the Hellfire Signifier Prestige class in "Path of Prestige", so yes, you will be able to take this prestige class later.
@Choant:it's in "Blood of Fiends/Angels"? You just use Ability:1d100 ⇒ 22
@Eric: no 3PP please. There's enough to play with all Pathfinder "legal" books.
@Eric/Black Dow: Fetchling and Changeling races could be allowed.
I want characters with a (short) backstory, a few words about what they look like, where they are from. Some characters can be natives from Fort Inevitable.

Looks & PersonalityStanding 6'2 and weighing in at 197 lbs, this young male catfolk is covered in black fur from head to toe. Gold eyes stair back at you beneath the cloak of his hood raised by his ears that stand at attention. Nearly everything thing about him leads you to ask questions, but his identity is clear he is of the wild, but clearly adapt at the city life.
Background Born among the city, Strider was left to struggle in the times of life as he scavenged through the city for personal items, with no known knowledge of his parents. He grew up without the help of others, and learned on his own. Although this made him, very unsociable with most people and picked up several tools of the trade. Loving to perch on houses and watch for crowds of people to make his snatches of food and other assorted items. Often the best approach is to avoid it all together.
Corban Scale was a foundling, given to the Church of Abadar in Fort Inevitable. Like all their foundlings, it meant he had a reasonable upbringing; education, training; all the things he might need in his adult life. He was also worked hard and was expected to support the church.
Unlike some of his fellow foundlings, Corban did not mind the work, and when it was discovered that he had a good understanding of the Holy texts, he was considered for priesthood. However, it was also discovered that he had an aptitude for weapons, and that changed his path into a Warpriest.
The Church oversees a number of investments and advances loans to several mercantile interests. As part of their ongoing support, they must undertake journeys that are often dangerous, and a priest who is able to look after himself is useful. In addition, sometimes the recovery of assets is necessary; if the lendee objects recovery may need to take place under the threat of force.
Furthermore, the wider interests of the Church often bring them into conflict with bandits or monstrous encounters. While the order of the Pike are usually able to deal with local problems, those further afield may need a stronger response and the church will field it's own force alongside any others necessary to get the job done.
In short, there is plenty of scope for Warpriests within the church, though right now Corban is often summoned by Junior acolytes and Lay priests, and involved in petty politics.
For himself, he has bought into the vision of civilization espoused by the Holy scriptures of Abadar and longs to see the Echo Woods region transformed into a beacon of civilization. he recognises this as an uphill struggle, and one that probably won't be achieved in his lifetime, but he feels that it is a worthy goal to dedicate his life to, and that small steps in the right direction are always achievable. Therefore, he is always eager to help eradicate bandits or monstrous hazards that plague society, along with any others who are willing to do so (no matter their motive).
The trait is more for background and the ability to use stealth reasonably. I've been having a bit of writers block at the moment but I'll do my best to get a backstory put together sooner rather then later.

Looks & Personality:
Rahiv was tall for an Undine, a lanky but athletic six foot tall. He was weak but that was normal for most. His skin was a very light greenish hue something easily masked with a bit of make up. His hair was the color of swamp algea but had barely started coming back in from his newfound freedom. He was a bit hardened and wary of anyone wearing heavy armor, expecting to become a slave once again. Chelaxian natives were what scared him the most, their hearts were hardened and were eager to take advantage. So he tended to play it wary at first but he couldn't forget his roots and still was one to heal others he found in trouble.
Background:
Rahiv grew up in the River Kingdoms, the Undine there were nomadic at best. They moved everytime the swamps would form and when they began to wain they would search for a new one based on the weather. The Shaman of the tribe was the one who read the weather and healed the tribe. It was a position of power and respect throughout the tribe and even if they ran into another tribe they were never harmed and always treated only second to their own.
Rahiv was chosen at an early age to shadow his own shaman along with a few other youths to possibly be chosen to be the tribes next shaman. It meant lessons every day, learning to read the weather, knowing where was safe, and what was safe to eat and drink in the area. It was during one of the lessons where they were sent out into the surrounding area to find all the safe plants for medicine and food in the area and bring back a sampling that Rahiv was caught by a Hellknight in "their" territory. It was a mistake that Rahiv would spend the rest of his life regretting.

*Subtle Manipulator (Sp): Rather than taking on the forms of others, some fetchling are adept at destroying the memories of other creatures. Instead of gaining disguise self as a spell-like ability, such fetchlings can use Memory lapse once per day as a spell-like ability. For this ability, a fetchling's caster level is equal to his total Hit Dice. This racial trait modifies the spell-like ability racial trait.

Magic
--------------------
Eldritch Pool (Su) 3/3 total: An eldritch scion gains an eldritch pool of personal magical energy, equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Charisma modifier. As a swift action, he can spend a point of eldritch energy to enter a state of mystical focus for 2 rounds. This allows him to use abilities from his bloodrager bloodline as though he were in a bloodrage, though he gains none of the other benefits or drawbacks of bloodraging. At 4th level, an eldritch scion can also use his eldritch pool as an arcane pool, gaining all the benefits listed with the magus's arcane pool class feature.
Additionally, any magus's class feature or spell from the magus spell list that normally uses a calculation based on Intelligence is instead based on Charisma for an eldritch scion. For example, an eldritch scion with the arcane accuracy magus arcana grants himself an insight bonus on attacks equal to his Charisma bonus, not his Intelligence bonus. This has no effect on the eldritch scion's skills or skill points.
This ability replaces arcane pool, and abilities that modify arcane pool also modify eldritch pool.
Spell Combat (Ex): At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.
An eldritch scion can only use spell combat while in a state of mystic focus (see eldritch pool, above). At 8th level, an eldritch scion can use spell combat at any time.
This ability alters spell combat.
Bloodline Powers: While bloodraging, you gain the abilities and immunities of some aberrations, but show signs of your tainted heritage.
Spells Known:
0-Level Magus Spells (4 total, DC 12) — disrupt undead, flare, mage hand, ray of frost.
1st-Level Magus Spells (3 total, 2 per day, DC 13) — chill touch, shield, shocking grasp.
Looks & Personality:
He looks like a tall, lithe human with dark blue, almost black eyes mixed with long, straggly white hair tied back in a loose ponytail. His skin is a washed out grey, though there are strange bands of a darker shade of grey in swirly patterns on his chest and arms. Due to his light sensitivity, he has taken to tying a scarf around his eyes when in daylight.
Background:

Zurka was born into one of the many clans serving one of the several more notable umbral dragon lords in the Shadow Plane. His early childhood was marred by his strange markings on his skin that resisted any attempts to disguise them, even with magic means.
As he was remarkably talented, he was selected to partake in the magus training as part of a strike force being assembled by his dragon lord to strike against his enemies. His training did not go well as the markings proved to be traces of the Old Ones touch. Fearing his instability, yet unwilling to let his talents go to waste, he was sent to the Material plane to explore the mysterious ruins known as the Emerald Spire.
While he was told to discover any lost or forgotten lore, the actual reason was so he would be killed by whatever lurks there.
Zurka is mostly done here. I just need to select traits and purchase equipment for him, and perhaps flesh out/tweak his BG some more.
