"Can we bring these back for study? Now that they're save, I am sure there are artificers who would find these things very curious."

"You're in luck. We've dealt with them both. It should be safe, but follow us and we'll get you out safely."

Domwurd pauses, thinking. "Anything specific that you have seen and want to report? We're hear to do what Pathfinders do, so we don't want to have missed anything."

"I once read a Pathfinder Chronicle of a child in Absalom who hid themselves in a coffin, a magical ring sustaining them for years. It's a miracle they kept their sanity," Domwurd looks sad. "I really hope our remaining missing agent doesn't end up in that situation. Let's go find them."

Player error, as I already cast Resilient Sphere. Amending my turn...

Wishing that he had the mental energy to put the ghost in a sphere of force, Domwurd instead tries to freeze the cu sith once more.
Frostbite on Cu Sith, DC 25 basic Fort: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 3, 4) = 16

"Salka, you've got this!"
Cast Guidance on Salka

Deciding that having two foes to deal with is a problem, Domwurd waves his hands and attempts to put the ghost in a ball of force!
Cast Resilient Sphere around Ghost. DC 25 Reflex save

"Salka, you've got this!"
Cast Guidance on Salka

Will save vs Bark (DC 24): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Figuring that he is best served by trying to free the Cu Sith in place, Domwurd speaks the arcane words and makes the appropriate gestures to create an area of magic around the big beast. The temperature surrounding the beast plummets suddenly, frost forming and snowflakes falling as the moisture in the air solidifies.
Frostbite vs Cu Sith, DC 25 Fort save: 5d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 2, 1) = 8

He then looks at the ghost, recalling what he can and sharing what he knows about both creatures.
Recall Knowledge again please. Arcana +16, Occultism +13, Nature +12, Religion +14

Will save vs DC 24: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Made a stern stuff, Domwurd shrugs off the frightening situation. "All bark, very little bite."

He moves through the motions to cast a spell. One that will hasten poor beleaguered Hampton. The Osirian man suddenly feels light on his feet.
Cast Haste on Hampton

Domwurd then studies the beast, hoping to remember something about what this creature is.
Recall Knowledge please. Arcana +16, Occultism +13, Nature +12, Religion +14

Domwurd is uncomfortable, but simply can't fault the logic and is too honest to lie. "Let's hurry up and get you back, Janahar. We can all make sure that you stay safe."

Domwurd just smiles broadly, happy to let Iniquity lead the conversation with these ominous shadows.

He looks at the Pathfinder, studying them to determine whether they are okay.

Domwurd will once more try to cast Light, though he expects to have the same results as before. He at least can see it low light conditions, but he lacks any means of getting proper darkvision.

"Though things will look the same, this is a different plane of existence. I would treat every inch of this area as new. There may be new traps, but also new discoveries."

He keeps with the group, casting a spell to detect magic.

Domwurd slams the butt of his staff against the ground, causing the bonded magical item to glow white. Stored magical energy flows from it to the shoony wizard, the glow moving to Domwurd before fading. "Alright, let's do this."
Drain Arcane Bond to recall Sudden Bolt

With a sharp gesture and a series of quick arcane words a bolt of electricity lashes out at the mummy battling Hampton.
Sudden Bolt vs Mummy, DC 25 Reflex: 6d12 ⇒ (1, 3, 7, 8, 12, 4) = 35

Domwurd snaps out of his momentary panic. "This is not going well at all. No, not even a little."

He collects his thoughts, once more attempting to cast a spell. This time he turns it on the great big falconcat, creating a dome of force to encase the creature.
Resilient Sphere on CatBird. DC 25 Reflex save

He will then erect his own magical shield. "Help the others, Iniquity!"

Will save, Hero Point: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Adding save and RK
Will save, DC 22: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 sigh

For the benefit of the group Domwurd takes a moment to share what he knows of mummies.

Aware and concerned about the dangers of mummies, Domwurd works through the gestures to create a sphere of force that he works to capture it in.
Cast Resilient Sphere on the Mummy, DC 25 Reflex

"The walking dead! This cannot be good. Friends, allow me to try and... burn them down!"

Domwurd works quickly through a spell, sending a small bead of flame streaking into the room. When it reaches the centre he completes the magic with a gesture, causing the bead to explode in a mighty conflagration!
Fireball (4th), DC 25 Reflex: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5, 6, 4) = 29

"Nethys, guide my good friend Hampton as he goes forth to sneakily slay in a silent manner."
Guidance on Hampton

"Oh boy!"

With the trap resetting Domwurd runs across the way, looking to get on the other side before the maul can swing again. He makes sure to follow the same route the champion took, just in case.

Religion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

"I think you'll appreciate this, Iniquity. That's Pharaoh Rehenet I, who disappeared at the height of her rule, and her wife, Khisisi. You see the simple robes and outstretched hand on Rehenet’s statue? That indicates that the sculptor considered her a humble ruler who sought to give her people a helping hand, and not ruling with an iron fist. The other statue is a priest-mage adviser, and the symbolism of the pose suggests that they worked in lockstep with the pharaoh."

"I think my dander is worse than usual now too, so I would really like to know what you use, Salka. Algae gel you say?"

I am at 24/55hp, so I would also benefit from healing. Perhaps the Champion can drop some Lay on Hands + Refocus to get us back up?

Domwurd decides that magic is the best way to solve this problem. "Everyone, please stand back. I'm going to try something."

He then casts Dispel Magic, hoping to prevent further nastiness.
Counteract Check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Nope, Hero Point
Counteract Check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Fort save, DC29: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23
[b]"Owwwwww.[/ooc]

Domwurd looks over all that the group shares with him, taking copious notes for when he needs to write a chronicle. "Sounds good, Iniquity. Please lead us onward."

Domwurd opts to continue trying to freeze the ooze to death. It worked before, it must work again.
Frostbite vs Ooze (C), DC 25 Fort: 5d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 2, 3) = 13

He'll then think back to what he knows of oozes and share his knowledge.
Occultism +13

Struggling to see where the oozes are, Domwurd backtracks to get a better view. "Alright, we're doing well I'd say. Let's see if we can put it on ice."

With a wave of his hand and a quick barking of arcane words, Domwurd conjures an area of biting cold around the ooze.
Frostbite vs Ooze (C), DC 25 Con: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 4, 1) = 14

Domwurd moves to be behind Salka. "These things are most unpleasant to behold."

He follows these words up with a sudden bolt of electricity, aimed at the nearest mass of oozing flesh.
Sudden Bolt (4th) vs Solid Red, DC 25 Reflex: 6d12 ⇒ (1, 12, 10, 9, 10, 8) = 50

Domwurd considers what he knows...
Nature +12 here please

Domwurd curbs his curiosity about the stone tablets to instead take a look at the amulet and piece of paper. He casts a spell to detect magic as he approaches, in the off chance that there are exploding runes on the paper.

Domwurd will cast a spell, allowing him to translate the words written on the devices. Cast Translate, then use Society +13 to Decipher the Writng

And if no one else seems able to do so, he will then try to identify the magical properties, such as they are.
Arcana +16 to Identify the Magical Properties

"It just so happens that I know that rites in question. I have read through several tomes at the Grand Lodge that discuss some of the more common practices of ancient Osirion. It's not a bad idea to observe the practices of other cultures, particularly in places that they deem important. Here, let me show you."

He'll proceed to perform the cleansing ritual on himself and, if others allow it, on the others.
Domwurd is indeed an Expert in Religion

Religion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

"Seems like an idea to me," Domwurd says, easily amenable to Iniquity's suggestion.

"Oh good, we found one already!" Domwurd says, not reacting to the wrong name Iniquity gave to accidentally assist the champion of Shelyn.
I'd like to assist Iniquity on the Deception, if a check is needed. +10 here

Religion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

"What an odd feeling. Anyhow, where to? Onwards and in?"

Domwurd shrugs, douses the fire from the torch, and stows it back in his pack. "You just let me know if you change your mind!"

Domwurd holds out the torch to Iniquity. "Given how bright the torch is, probably best if you hold onto it. The dim light might not be a bother to me, but if one of those velstraks gets close to you, you're going to want to see every ugly bit of it when you go to stab it. And I can't promise to always be beside you. No offense, but you know how the heat of battle can be."

He then looks at Iniquity's hands. "Oh. Are you even able to carry something? Your hands look full."
I can try to stick close to you, but I'm guessing you'll want to have the light with you. Might require us to coordinate our movements... should a fight break out.

"Huh. It's never done that before."

Domwurd shrugs. Dim light is not much of a bother to him, but he suspects it will be for others. "Maybe a more conventional torch will do the trick?"

He follows up his own words, retrieving a torch from his pack and lighting it.

I would think the type of persistent damage is usually called out in the description and, if not, it is untyped. But I expect our GM knows what's right.

"I can shed some fairly serious light. With magic, that is."

Domwurd makes a point to do so, speaking the words of a simple cantrip and placing the source at the tip of his burnt wooden staff.
Cast Light (4th), which is 60ft bright and then 60ft dim

Domwurd will excuse himself to make a couple purchases before they head out. "I've a full coin sack and a couple trinkets that I'd like to get. I won't be long."

Going to buy a Cloak of Illusion, Glasses of Sociability, and a Wand of Tailwind (2nd Rank)

Domwurd picks up the magnifying glass, fascinated. "This could be an incredible boon if we find any interesting bits of writing that we want to bring back with us. I might want to bring extra paper!"
Going for the Magnifying Glass of Elucidation (Ancient Osiriani)

Oh, Glyphs. I have two Glyphs to share. I expect we have plenty.

I have no glyphs because I am a slacker is sits on the edge of having a glyph.

While I would be duty-bound to report any removal of items bearing historical significance to Osirion, I am not so bound by inflexible laws, nor by those who might or might not act outside the boundaries of them.

"How very good, if chaotic, of you."

Good news, we're low tier! You'll be fine!

Society and Occultism are both +13 for Domwurd

Domwurd takes a generous helping of friend fava bean balls, a sure sign that the Pathfinders with him may rue this later.

"I'd be delighted to take what notes I can. Do you have any texts or chronicles that I can look over that explain more about what we know of this Shadow Path? I'm happy to come to my own conclusions as we travel through it, but I'd prefer to know as much as possible for a traverse a road through the Plane of Shadow."

He's quick to share what he knows.
I do have 3-01 on Domwurd

Might not be so bad if we end up high and you get the mentor boon benefit

No Secluded Siege for Domwurd

Short, shaggy, and leaning on a staff is a Shoony named Domwurd. A dedicated Pathfinder who has shown a knack for transmutation magic, Domwurd is a notable character in that he's diligent about following the rules and doing the right thing. That said, some agents have noted that his book smarts doesn't always translate into street smarts.

At the moment he's holding a dog-eared tome in his other hand, studying the arcane syllables that glow dimly on its pages.

At Iniquity's words he quickly snaps the book closed and introduce himself. "Domwurd here, and it's a real pleasure to meet you. I admit who I am is somewhat humble in comparison, though I've read as many tomes as I can within the Grand Lodge, and am hoping that I can get some more books on loan from the local libraries in this fair city."

He scratches an ear, which flops about in an unintentionally adorable way. "I do know a bit of magic too, so there's that. But having a devotee to the goddess of beauty as company is great news!"

"We have our own vaults of magic too. So if you ever get bored with the study of True Names you can throw a stick and study the next artifact or forbidden magic topic," Domwurd says, his excitement obvious. "It's one of the reasons why I joined. But the other is that the Society does good in this beautiful world of ours. We're curious, but we also care."

"But yes, loads of magic. Just the other week I was examining a fascinating collection of enchanted bones. They could..."

Domwurd spills what he knows about some of the more interesting magic items he's studied.
Arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Hero Point please.
Arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

"The daughters of the night hag seem to be both difficult and numerous," Domwurd says, shaking his head. "Thankfully, they're also all bark and no bite."

Domwurd moves a bit closer to Liaskra, hurling more magic at the meanie.
Ray of Frost vs Liaskra: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Damage (Cold): 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

Domwurd works a big of transmutation magic, directing at Grams. In seconds the dwarf grows larger than life, causing the normally stocky woman to tower over their foes.

He then takes a second to study Liaskra, trying to understand just what they are.
Recall Knowledge (Society): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
