"Many thanks, guv," Sylvia said with a smile as she accepted the items. "So, onwards and downwards! Chop chop, those bandits won't take care of themselves, luvs! Well, actually, they might, but what would be the fun in that?" With that cheerful exclamation, Sylvia turned and marched off in the direction they needed to go.

"interesting devices." Kavaki says as she inspects the items. Then looks around at the others and follows a cue to secure the presents in a safe location on the body. She then bow in gratitude, "I hope we don't need to use them, but thank you. A prepared person is destined for success."
"Lets go then, lets seek a passage down." the paladin leads the way to the remains of the cathedral and looking around he finds an intact passage down. "Stay on guard" he says and ventures down first unless someone else wants to lead.

"I have no issue seeing in poor light conditions (Darkvision). If you would prefer I can go 1st, or I have a subroutine that can provide some light for those who struggle in dark conditions."
"I have no preference either way, whatever the requirements of the group demand."
The paladin nods and lets Kavaki scout ahead in the dark while the rest hang back a short distance carrying lights.
Kavaki goes down a short distance before coming across a corpse.
A bandit by the looks of him no visible wounds but drained of all life.
"So, not to really pry, but what brings lovelies like yourselves to a place like this?" Sylvia asked her new acquaintances as they walked behind the scouting Kavaki.
Jayla calmly answers the question, after a quick exchange of glance with Valeria.
"We are in pursuit of scavengers, who have a 63% chance of being in possession of something we need. We were told Scrapwall would be our likely place to ask around.
How about yourselves?"

"Should anyone care to say a prayer, there appear to be a former member of the living lying here."
"010101110010... analyzing cause of death..."
Kavaki kneels by the corps and bows her head while she recites a prayer to Irori. The circuitry tattoos pulse with a glows while she is concentrating. Once completed, she conducts an investigation of the corpse to discern any cause of death.
"Wraiths...Or Ghosts" says the paladin
"I have not yet fought those. Though i don't think i have anything at my disposal to kill any either."
"That is why I gave you all those items, be prepared to use them if needed." replies the paladin.
"Regardless, if he was here then the blighter was a bandit aand needs no fancy words said over his corpse," Sylvia said as she gave the body no more than a quick glance. "We should press on and stop the rest of his fellows and whatever killed him."
Jayla looks up, and in a somewhat amplified voice calls out to her friend.
Hearing Jayla call out for her, she dives down at speed with folded wings. Close to the ground Xaikon opens her wings to do a gentle landing.
Onces on the ground she inspects her wounds, and casts a healing spell to heal her wounds.
Once done healing some of her wounds she looks up to see the new individuals standing beside her friends. "Hello there, I am Xiakon. Where are the bandits?"

"Greetings. Nice to finally meet you properly. Jayla kept saying you were around."
"01001100011010... analyzing species... data corrupted. search results negative. 010110101011."
"I don't mean to be rude, but I'm unfamiliar with your kind. You seem similar to a drow, but the addition of the wings nullified that possiblility."
Slightly surprised by the landing of someone else, Sylvia gave the woman and good look. "I say, those are some very lovely wings you have there, my dear," she said appreciatively.
"I come from the western mountains of Cheliax, where we the Strix have our colony."
Looking at the new people, "How do I address you? Also what expertise do you bring to this place?"
Val pipes in
"I figure we got a few minutes before the bandits are back with some friends, and it might be best to prepare for them."
"Sylvia of the Pathfinders Society, at your service, luv," Sylvia said with a flourished bow. "I'm rather good at using my short blade here, and I'm fairly knowledgeable about many things."
"Nice to meet you Kavaki and Sylvia. Nice to have some extra healing amongst us."
"Indeed, we had to make due with potions.
I believe our supply ran out."
"We shall see. I am ready though."
As you move along down the tunnel it doesn't take long before you come across another body and the culprit reveals itself.
A shade overs over the corpse a spectral form that resembles a knight in armour. The knight weeps uncontrollably and it gives you shivers as you hear it. He lets out a tortured, sobbing cry "Justinia! Were are you!"
"Aldronard" whispers the paladin captain "I feared as much he has was consumed in darkness before and the destruction of the outpost only made it worst. He sobs for his wife who was slain by bandits while travelling to come meet him while he was fighting on the front. When he learned the news he went mad with grief and killed his own men for failing to protect her then committed suicide to join her but for whatever reason he has lingered here as a wraith ever since."
The wraith doesn't attack right away so you get go first.
Jayla is unfazed by the sight.
"Unfortunate for the knight, but killing over something out of his hands is futile, it serves no sensible purpose."
"So tragic," Sylvia said softly. Steeling her nerves, though, she was quick to apply the oil she was given to her gladius. "However, regardless of his past, it is his present we must deal with."
Val uses her breath weapon
You wouldn't know much other than standard undead weaknesses and that it's incorporeal.
No Constitution score. Undead use their Charisma score in place of their Constitution score when calculating hit points, Fortitude saves, and any special ability that relies on Constitution(such as when calculating a breath weapon’s DC).
Darkvision 60 feet.
Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms).
Immunity to bleed, death effects, disease, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning.
Not subject to nonlethal damage, ability drain, or energy drain. Immune to damage to its physical ability scores (Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength), as well as to exhaustion and fatigue effects.
Cannot heal damage on its own if it has no Intelligence score, although it can be healed. Negative energy (such as an inflict spell) can heal undead creatures. The fast healing special quality works regardless of the creature's Intelligence score.
Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
Not at risk of death from massive damage, but is immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points.
Not affected by raise dead and reincarnate spells or abilities. Resurrection and true resurrection can affect undead creatures. These spells turn undead creatures back into the living creatures they were before becoming undead.
Incorporeal (Ex)
An incorporeal creature has no physical body. It can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities. It is immune to all nonmagical attack forms. Even when hit by spells or magic weapons, it takes only half damage from a corporeal source (except for channel energy). Although it is not a magical attack, holy water can affect incorporeal undead. Corporeal spells and effects that do not cause damage only have a 50% chance of affecting an incorporeal creature. Force spells and effects, such as from a magic missile, affect an incorporeal creature normally.
An incorporeal creature has no natural armor bonus but has a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma bonus (always at least +1, even if the creature’s Charisma score does not normally provide a bonus).
An incorporeal creature can enter or pass through solid objects, but must remain adjacent to the object’s exterior, and so cannot pass entirely through an object whose space is larger than its own. It can sense the presence of creatures or objects within a square adjacent to its current location, but enemies have total concealment (50% miss chance) from an incorporeal creature that is inside an object. In order to see beyond the object it is in and attack normally, the incorporeal creature must emerge. An incorporeal creature inside an object has total cover, but when it attacks a creature outside the object it only has cover, so a creature outside with a readied action could strike at it as it attacks. An incorporeal creature cannot pass through a force effect.
An incorporeal creature’s attacks pass through (ignore) natural armor, armor, and shields, although deflection bonuses and force effects (such as mage armor) work normally against it. Incorporeal creatures pass through and operate in water as easily as they do in air. Incorporeal creatures cannot fall or take falling damage. Incorporeal creatures cannot make trip or grapple attacks, nor can they be tripped or grappled. In fact, they cannot take any physical action that would move or manipulate an opponent or its equipment, nor are they subject to such actions. Incorporeal creatures have no weight and do not set off traps that are triggered by weight.
An incorporeal creature moves silently and cannot be heard with Perception checks if it doesn’t wish to be. It has no Strength score, so its Dexterity modifier applies to its melee attacks, ranged attacks, and CMB. Nonvisual senses, such as scent and blindsight, are either ineffective or only partly effective with regard to incorporeal creatures. Incorporeal creatures have an innate sense of direction and can move at full speed even when they cannot see.
Jayla will coat arrows in the magic oil, before Val does her fire breath.
"Oh my, seems my weapons are no good for it."
Xaikon moves forward and awaots to see what the undead does. Though preparing to bring forth a sword of flames forth.

"If he is suffering, then we should help heal him." Kavaki moves up and touches the creature, saying a prayer to Irori.
By expending one use of fervor, a good warpriest (or one who worships a good deity) can touch a creature to heal it of 1d6 points of damage + an additional 1d6 points for every 3 warpriest levels he possesses beyond 2nd (to a maximum of 7d6 at 20th level). Using this ability is a standard action (unless the warpriest targets himself, in which case it's a swift action). Alternatively, the warpriest can use this ability to harm an undead creature, dealing the same amount of damage he would otherwise heal with a melee touch attack. Using fervor in this way is a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage. This use of fervor counts as positive energy.
positive healing
Jayla could share her arrows with Xaikon. 50-50
Xaikon also has a +1 oil from the paladin (he gave an oil and a channel lantern to each of you)
Val and Jayla are up.
"Then the ghost is marked to be put down."
Jayla moves to A1, then takes a shot at the ghost.
Val applies the Oil to her greatsword
The ghost will move up to val and use it's bone chilling touch on her (damage is negative energy)
fort dc 18 if you succeed you take half damage.
The paladin captain moves and and using his smite evil ability takes a swing but he fails to connect.
Your go again.
Jayla quickly looks for an exploitable weak spot.
"Thankyou Jayla, I keep my oil for another batch if required."
"Oh my, seems my weapons are no good for it."
Xaikon moves forward and awaits to see what the undead does. Though preparing to bring forth a sword of flames forth.
