Touch of Good (Sp) - You can touch a creature as a standard action, granting a sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws equal to half your cleric level (minimum 1) for 1 round. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
Crippling Strike* (Ex): A rogue with this ability can sneak attack opponents with such precision that her blows weaken and hamper them. An opponent damaged by one of her sneak attacks also takes 2 points of Strength damage.
Opportunist (Ex): Once per round, the rogue can make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who has just been struck for damage in melee by another character. This attack counts as an attack of opportunity for that round. Even a rogue with the Combat Reflexes feat can't use the opportunist ability more than once per round.

Others to consider: Assault leader, minor magic, powerful sneak, resiliency, improved resiliency).

Hunter's Howl: Cast hunter's howl 3/day as a swift action. (Worth 3,000 gp)

Combat Expertise: -3 to hit for +3 AC
Outflank (bonus teamwork feat with Pirknok): Whenever you and an ally who also has this feat are flanking the same creature, your flanking bonus on attack rolls increases to +4. In addition, whenever you score a critical hit against the flanked creature, it provokes an attack of opportunity from your ally.
Gang Up (from Book of War): You are considered to be flanking an opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that opponent, regardless of your actual positioning.
Extra Rogue Talent: Opportunist (Ex): Once per round, the rogue can make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who has just been struck for damage in melee by another character. This attack counts as an attack of opportunity for that round. Even a rogue with the Combat Reflexes feat can't use the opportunist ability more than once per round.

Once upon a time, there was a family of wealthy nobles living in splendor in Korvosa. Adamar and Saria Voulge had everything their daughter could possibly want growing up -- money to buy beautiful dresses and jewelry; tutors to teach lessons, magic and swordplay; guards to keep her safe; and of course servants to cook meals and clean food. As a result, their daughter, Adelia, was a bit ... spoiled. Most often, she merely had to ask for something to get it, and in the rare instances that didn't happen, tears and screams resulted.

Of course, not everyone in the Voulge household was quite so lucky. Roldan and Carawyn Saal were a pair of the servants who toiled for the Voulges. They had considerably less, their meager wages putting a roof over their home and most of the time food on the table, though that included taking some of the leftovers Adelia decided she didn't want after Carawyn -- or "Cook" as Adelia knew her -- has already prepared it.

Roldan and Carawyn also had a daughter, Jessamy. Jessamy did not have all the dresses and jewelry she wanted, just a cotton frock and a collar she'd woven together out of colored threads her father had brought home from the Voulge manor. She didn't have any servants and spent most of her days trying to help her parents at her home while they waited hand and foot on the Voulges. She didn't have any tutors, and after learning her basic letters and numbers at the local temple of Abadar, was on her own.

What she did have was a the freedom to walk the streets of the city, where she would listen to the merchants swap stories of life on the road. She learned of all the most famous adventurers, gaining fame and fortune as they explored the world. Finally, when she decided she was old enough, Jessamy ran away from home, enlisting as a cabin girl on a merchant vessel. And while it was exciting -- certainly better than scrubbing pots back home -- it also wasn't that much different. She was still scrubbing pots and decks and sewing sails, even if she had learned some basic swordplay as well.

Jessamy realized that just being at sea wasn't enough. She wanted the life Adelia Voulge had. She wanted fame and fortune. So, with stories still filling her head, she set out for Sandpoint, where she figured she would make her name by defeating the infamous Sandpoint Devil.

Runeforge journal

Merapi's note

Barl's note, with more mention of Mokmurian

The next day the party finds themselves once again within the Rusty Dragon alongside Sheriff Hemlock and Shalelu, poring over a map of the surrounding lands.

”If Mokmurian is where the giants say, the best route by foot’s going to be up the Lost Coast Road, over to Ember Lake, then up to Galduria, Wolf ’s Ear, Ravenmoor, and finally the Storval Stairs”, Hemlock explains while drawing a route along the map with the tip of his dagger. ”It’s a long route, and one known to be patrolled by giants, but it’s the quickest by a good margin.”

”From the top of the stairs”, Shalelu explains picking up. ”You’ll want to head directly east into the Iron Peaks and the Valley of the Black Tower. Up through Ravenmoor, this journey travels along roads and tracks and trails, but beyond Ravenmoor it’s open country. The journey is about 320 miles long but most of it is open road so it shouldn’t take longer than 15 days.”

”We’ve packed enough food and water to get you there”, she says while patting a bulging saddlebag laid across the table next to the map. ”But you might want to forage along the way to supplement it.”

STANZA
"If magic bright is your desire, to old Runeforge must you retire! For only there does wizards' art receive its due and proper start." He reads out loud.

"On eastern shores of steaming mirror, at end of day when dusk is nearer, where seven faces silent wait encircled guards at Runeforge gate."

"Each stone the grace of seven lords, one part of key each ruler hoards; If offered spells and proper prayer, take seven keys and climb the stair."

"On frozen mountain Xin awaits, his regal voice the yawning gates. Keys turn twice in Sihedron - occulted Runeforge waits within."

"And now you've come and joined the Forge upon rare lore your mind can gorge. And when you slough the mortal way in Runeforge long your work shall stay."
