Kehlysch casts light on his hanbo, and holds it ready, waiting for the armed and armored fighters to lead the way before descending.

Kehlysch dismisses his Gusting Sphere when the rest of the party enters the hall. He then waits patiently for the door to be examined for traps, and opened by Tavern Tale. He waits for the melee combat experts to go in first, but readies himself to cast another spell at a moment's notice.

"How about we sweep out that hallway?" Kehlysch says, calling upon is magic to summon another Gusting Sphere, and sending it forward into the hallway. He follows the sphere at a distance (30 feet), keeping it n sight, so as to direct it at slavers.

Kehlysch screams out an obscenity as the sudden flash of fire washes over him, and burns him badly. He reaches for one of the vials on his bandolier, pops the cork, and drinks it down. Potion of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Kehlysch continues to move his sphere of winds around the slavers in the hallway in a zig-zag pattern. Bull Rush: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 (1 round remaining.)

Kehlysch moves the gusting sphere in a zig-zag pattern within the hallway pulling it back towards the entrance. Bull Rush: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Non-lethal blugeoning damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 (2 more rounds of spell duration remaining.)

Kehlysch decides the time has come to help his new comrades. "Tempesphereh!" he shouts, as he unleashes a swirling ball of wind straight into the passage.

"Well met, Sea Ranger," Kehlysch says with a nod. Then, as is struck by a recollection of something forgotten, he mutters some arcane words and makes a quick gesture. Spellcraft DC 16:
He is casting mage armor on himself. "Sorry about the interruption. I'm ready to free some slaves and flense some slavers."

"I'll stay nearby," Kehlysch says. "If you trigger the cloud, I can call some wind to disperse it."

Oops. I guess I was a tad premature on my equipment retrieval...I'll re-post that part for the sake of continuity. "Well met, Master Alenthieal," Kehlysch replies, returning the nod. Kehlysch gives an audible sigh of relief as he looks through the bag and confirms that none of his personal affects appear to be missing. He retrieves a pack, bandolier, and several items of clothing, including a ring from the bag. He quickly dresses and settles his gear on his person, then makes a gesture with his hands. All the dirt and grime is pulled from his body, hair and clothing, settling in a small pile on the ground. Spellcraft Check:

"Well met, Dame Gothia," Kehlysch says, offering a gentlemanly hand to the paladin, as well. "Freedom, Glory and Gold, eh? Sounds good to me. Let's rain the vengeful fires of heaven upon these villains."

The man rises to his feet and gives a nod of thanks. "Kehlysch," he replies. He then moves and retrieves a pack, bandolier, and several items of clothing, including a ring from a pile in the corner. He quickly dresses and settles his gear on his person, and then makes a gesture with his hands. All the dirt and grime is pulled from his body, hair and clothing, settling in a small pile on the ground. Spellcraft Check:
Prestidigitation "That's better," he says to no one in particular. "I don't know any more about this place than this room. You were fortunate enough to find me before I was moved to a proper slave pen. Nevertheless, you have freed me, and I will happily aid you for as long as you have need of me. Thank you Ms. Tale, is it?" he takes the bard's hand in gentlemanly fashion, but releases it before the moment becomes too forward. Kehlysch is a slender man of medium height, with shoulder length white-blonde hair. His features are fairly handsome, and his skin is pale. His most distinctive feature are his eyes, one is a sapphire blue, the other deep mahogany brown. Now dressed, he is wearing sturdy traveling clothes, a small backpack, and a bandolier loaded with vials of various colored liquids, as well as a small pouch.

Kehlysch looks at the group with an expression mixing hope, expectation, and just a dash of frustration. He shifts his body away from the wall, scutching on his backside, and turning so that his bound hands can be clearly seen. "All I need is for someone to cut me loose. If you don't want my help ending the slavers' trade, I'll take my gear and leave. Just so you know, I have magical abilities that may prove useful, though." Sense Motive, whatever DC GM decides: He is being sincere. He would greatly appreciate being freed, and will happily join the group to stop the slavers.

"Psst! Untie me. I'll help you. I've no love for slaver scum!" comes a voice from the shadows. A pale-haired man of slight build sits, tied-up, against the wall.

What is my condition? Am I shackled, tied-up, or in a cage? I assume my gear has been taken. If so, is it nearby?

Greetings friends! Looks like I will be joining the campaign sometime here in the near future. I'm looking forward to adventuring with you all. A little about me, the Player: Location: Eastern Time Zone, USA I've been participating in PbPs here on the Paizo Boards since 2010. I'm been playing RPGs since about 1982, when I was a child, beginning with the D&D Basic Set (the one with the Erol Otus Sorceress and Warrior vs Sea Dragon image). I'm married, with two adult sons, ages 24 and 19. My wife doesn't game, but she doesn't disapprove of it, either. I do play in a few other currently running PbP campaigns here on the Paizo Boards, and I also have two face-to-face groups. I GM for a Pathfinder 1e group, and I am a player in a D&D 5E group, both of which meet weekly.
Okay. I went with Protean instead of Aberrant, but he is human. I didn't do a background or purchase equipment yet because I wasn't sure of where (if selected) I would be appearing in the story. The basic premise of his story is that he is a scholar of the outer planes, especially those tied to chaos. He has become so out of the necessity of trying to understand and master the powers manifesting within him. Let me know if this is acceptable, or if anything needs changing. Also if acceptable, how much starting money for equipment, if any? Thanks!
Question for GM Eltonj: With regard to traits and your warning about misuse of them, I had an idea of taking two traits that would simulate having some small psionic talent: Untapped Potential (social), that allows use of telekinetic projectile once per day, and Magical Talent (magic) that allows use of one 0-level cantrip once per day, which I would use to select mage hand. Would this be acceptable, or would you prefer I not?

"Your confession is noted," Kehlysch replies to the bard. "You are under arrest. Come with us. Resistance will be futile and fatal."

Kehlysch nods his head to Cimri in acknowledgement. "I suggest you cooperate, Minstrel. Resistance will not end well for you," he says to the performer. Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (20) + 7 + (4) = 31

"Indeed," replies Kehlysch, brandishing his sheathed sword cane like a cudgel, and entering the tavern as well.

"Let's be about the Empire's Business. Anyone who will be acting as the arresting offers, put on your sashes, and join me in entering the inn and confronting the innkeeper directly. Anyone who will be watching the exits for an attempt to run, move into position as quickly as possible," Kehlysch remarks in his reserved tone.

"We should have one, possibly two of us, make their presence obvious and draw the attention of any overt threats," Kehlysch suggests. "We should also have someone watching any back doors or windows, ready to catch the rabbit, should he run."

"Are we under express orders to bring this man, Caggan, in alive?" Kehlysch asks pointedly. "To what degree are we permitted to use deadly force if he should resist, or have armed comrades offering violence on his behalf?" As he speaks he attaches the sash to his clothing. He seems to visibly relax once it is in place.

Seeing everyone else in the group complying, Kehlysch steps forward, touches the stone and says, "I swear my absolute allegiance to the Empire of Cheliax, Her Infernal Majestrix Queen Abrogail II of the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune, and to Archbaron Darellus Fex." Pain: 1d6 ⇒ 1
