Dotting. I'll be submitting a Cleric (Varisian Pilgrim) of Gozreh.
EDIT: Here is Phntm888's submission. I just had to update a few things for your build rules. This character started the AP, but then the GM ended it.

Good luck. Thank you for telling us.
No need, I just stabilized. My post is brief because, well, I'm unconscious.
Henris lies on the ground, unconscious, although it looks like the bleeding stops.
Henris falls to the ground, unconscious from the claws of the skeletons.
Henris, surrounded, desperately prays to Gozreh again, releasing another burst of energy.
Tired as he is, Ghost doesn't notice things until he sees the skeletons appear.
Henris moves to get the skeletons within 30 feet of him, then holds forth his holy symbol and looses a wave of positive energy.
Henris was fairly tired from having slept poorly, and the slog through the jungle was tiring as well. Now he was looking at a ship in terrible condition. Sighing, he said, "I don't think we'll find much from this ship. Should we check it anyway?"
Henris handles the night poorly, and awakens tired in the morning. He's stiff, sore, and soaking wet. Still, he makes his prayers to Gozreh, including praying for better weather that night.
Henris desperately racked his brain, trying to figure out the best solution, but it was hard in the storm. He just shook his head and prayed to Gozreh. Gozreh, shelter us from your raging blast, and grant us the strength to survive this storm.
"I agree. We don't want to be wandering the jungle at night, and a fire will help keep the animals away. Nali, I'll assist you in gathering firewood."
"The ship looks smaller than the Jenivere, and is half-submerged underwater. I doubt we'd recover anything useful from it. As for the creatures, they are dimorphodons. They possess a poisonous bite, track with scent, and like to swoop in, attack their prey, and swoop out, letting the poison finish them. They are a type of dinosaur, and are typically found near other types of dinosaurs. We are most definitely not the apex predators on this island. Let's move on."
Henris squints out in the distance towards the other wrecked ship.
"That wreck might have more supplies. I suspect that we'll have to deal with those animals if we try to swim out there, though. Of course, they might make for good eating, too."
Before they head out, Henris also takes the time to gather together the group and says a prayer to Gozreh with them, as well - a traditional Varisian caravan prayer.
Henris considered their options, then said, "Well, I'm not sure which part of the Shiv we're on, but east seems like a good direction to start. We'll want to be careful though - if we range too far, we'll be caught out in the worst heat of the day, which can be fatal."
Something I've noticed when I GM PbP, is if I let the players take time to RP for too long, eventually it just drags things out. Especially if the NPCs in general aren't particularly friendly or forthcoming, as most of these are at the minute.
I’m still here, I just think we’re ready to move on.
Henris smiles at Aerys. "Myself? I've followed Gozreh every since
Henris sighs as Roland gives into letting Aerys go to the ale barrel. Still, he leaves the warrior to his own devices, and instead settles down in the shade, looking to avoid being too active in the heat of the day. The fatigue could be as deadly as the rest.
"Regardless of whether or not we can track it, now is not the time to do so. We are approaching the full heat of the day, and doing so now will leave us too exhausted to fight the beast should we find it. Let us take time to rest - on watch, yet avoiding exerting ourselves too much."
Henris stands from where he was to scan the edges of the forest.
I will be on vacation starting tomorrow through Wednesday. I will have my phone, but posting time may be limited. Please bot me if needed.
Congratulations, Almon! If Almon is based in the US, then probably not. While 12 weeks maternity leave is mandated in the US, nothing says it has to be paid leave, and there's no law providing the same benefit to new fathers. I don't think the law applies to adoption or foster placement, either.
Yep. Waiting to see how Aerys reacts to my asking her not to drink the ale right now, and waiting until tonight.
"Aerys, perhaps we should hold off. Given what you told me earlier, we should ration what we have - we won't be able to recover any more right now. Tonight, we can all have some. Perhaps it will boost spirits in the camp."
Knowing they needed Jask's help as much as possible, Henris has no objections to unlocking his manacles. Instead, he walks over to Aerys and says, "I'd like to check on the status of your illness." Asking her to sit down, he'll check to see if she's doing any better.
Henris comes up with his trident, looks at the metal, and says, "Here, I'll try." Henris lined up his trident, then attempted to get one of the tines through the chain and twist.
Henris won't want the poison, so he won't have an issue with that. As the main fighter, Roland should have the masterwork cutlass. My plan is to hopefully, eventually, get a returning trident and then strike at range. Henris is designed for support first, combat second, so I can swap my leather armor to someone else if need be.
Henris nods. "Good idea, Thraxis. I'll assist you." Henris helps Thraxis with cleaning the shark so they could transport it. As they move the material from the ship to the shore, he keeps an eye on the heat of the day.
Henris attempts to swim back through the hammocks to the surface, the pain in his leg nearly unbearable.
Making his way back through the hammocks, Henris's head bursts through the water next to Nali, taking a deep breath before hauling himself up onto the decking out of the water. Once there he clutches his holy symbol of Gozreh and prays, causing a burst of healing energy to flow from him and was over those nearby.
"Well, that was eventful."
The bite on Henris's leg makes him woozy, but since he isn't unconscious yet, he thrusts his trident at it, joining Roland in trying to drive it away.
Henris's eyes widen at the sight of the shark. Unlimbering his trident, he swims up with Roland to prepare for the fight against the shark.
Henris motions to the body, then swims over to the cutlass, picks it up, and sticks it behind his belt. He then points at the rope, then the body.
Henris again helps Roland slam into the door, trying to open it.
Henris tries again with Roland, trying to plant his feet firmly on the floor and heave.
Henris motions to Roland, and sets up against the door to try and push it open. He then works with the stronger man to open the door.
Wait, weren't we checking room 13 first? I thought we were.
Henris gets tangled up in the first hammock, takes a few seconds to extract himself, then swims up to breathe air, and dives down again.
Henris makes it to the door on his second try.
"I can swim quite strongly - I'll go with you, Roland. The spell doesn't last long at all, though. If you start drowning, I can cast it, and it will delay the effects for a few seconds only. As I said, hopefully enough time for you to get to the surface and catch your breath."
"Should you encounter any difficulties, I have a spell I can cast to delay the effects of drowning. It doesn't last long, but hopefully it will last long enough for you to get back to the surface."
Henris says, "I have flint and steel. We can light a torch so those up here can see, and I'll drop a stone with a light spell cast on it into the hold."
"I'm okay at holding my breath. I'm a strong swimmer, too. I just need some light down there."
"Okay, let's check the hold and see if there's anything down there we might be able to use. Hopefully some of the food and water barrels haven't broken."
Henris attempts to help Nali in searching the other rooms.
”Agreed. We should search there next, plus Iaeana’s room. Surely she left something that will provide a clue to her motives”
That sucks. I've never had full blown pneumonia, just walking pneumonia. Not as crippling, but dangerous in its own way.
Henris blanches slightly at Nali's suggestion. "We have been here for all of one day and night. No doubt they are still in shock - stranded on an island, no sign of rescue, and poisoned as well. We may have been better at processing events, like a firepelt is better at hunting than a deer, but both are important to nature's balance. I am sure that, if given time, they will eventually emerge from their sulks and prove useful. Too, there is also the fact that we cannot leave our base camp empty as we attempt to explore the island. Ishirou acts as a guard for now, and if we can free Jask, he will likely be of aid to us, as well. Perhaps the others will come around, as well."
