Hello! Sorry, last couple of days have been hectic, so I haven't been checking up on the forums except my active campaigns. I'll port the stats over during lunch, around noon EST.
I've reworked the character concept based on the build requirements. Archon-blooded, Traits: Child of the Crusades, Demon Smiter
Backstory:
Lotho's mother was a member of the Proudheart family of halflings, but known for her kind heart. Though she told stories of the days when she had fought in the Crusades, she now lived in relative peace among her halfling family peacefully in the village of Rubyblossom.
His father was a bloodthirsty orc chieftain who attacked Rubyblossom, taking what he wanted ... and leaving his mother behind with a child.
Rather than leaving Lotho to the elements, she found a way to love him and raise him within Rubyblossom, learning the importance of community, peace, and freedom. Lotho grew to enjoy the simple work of farming, finding that it helped to quell the fury that he felt flowing through his blood. Still, his mother recognized that someday he would be called to the life of a warrior, so taught him to channel that anger in battle against the forces of evil.
One day, Rubyblossom was attacked by a group of minor demons. Lotho felt the divine call of Erastil and organized a defensive force, fighting the demons off in the Battle of Fallowleaf Field. Though they defeated the enemy, he saw in the eyes of his family and friends that the ferocity he exhibited on the battlefield had frightened them.
At his mother's recommendation, Lotho set out on a pilgrimage into the wider world, to learn more about his new powers and how to balance the light and the darkness within him. He made his way toward the Worldwound, to resume the crusade that his mother had once fought in, hoping that the divine blood within him wins out.

Well, this AP is pretty much tailor made for one of my PFS characters to evolve into. His current build is as a straight half-orc, but the backstory has his mother as an aasimar. The divine heritage was manifesting as his paladin abilities, and I didn't incorporate anything from Blood of Angels. I'd be happy to rebuild him with that in mind, and even shift him away from Paladin if the campaign is too heavy on that concept.
Background:
Lotho's mother was a member of the Proudheart family of halflings, but known for her kind heart. It was said that she had inherited the ancient blood of angels that ran in the family, and was herself an aasimar. She lived among her halfling family peacefully in the village of Rubyblossom.
His father was a bloodthirsty orc chieftain who attacked Rubyblossom, taking what he wanted ... and leaving his mother behind with a child.
Rather than leaving Lotho to the elements, she found a way to love him and raise him within Rubyblossom, learning the importance of community, peace, and freedom. Lotho grew to enjoy the simple work of farming, finding that it helped to quell the fury that he felt flowing through his blood.
One day, Rubyblossom was attacked by a traveling group of brigands. Lotho felt the divine call of Erastil and organized a defensive force, fighting the bandits off in the Battle of Fallowleaf Field. Though they fought off the enemy, he saw in the eyes of his family and friends that the ferocity he exhibited on the battlefield had frightened them.
At his mother's recommendation, he set out on a pilgrimage into the wider world, to learn more about his new powers and how to balance the light and the darkness within him.
Description:
Lotho is short for a half-orc, a bit over 5 feet in height, and dressed in the simple clothes of a farmer. His armor has more care to it, being regularly tended and shined, but is relatively simple and unadorned, save for an emblem of Erastil on its chest. Assorted weapons - a spear, longspear, two javelins, and a longbow - can be seen strapped to his backpack. A shovel and hoe can also be seen. From his belt hangs more weapons, selected for utility beyond battle ... handaxe, light hammer, and a dagger. Despite his intimidating, powerful bearing, and a general sense of seriousness about him, he is quick to smile and laugh when the opportunity presents itself.

Lotho glances around. "We should get out of here."
Assuming no one objects and wants to stick around ...
Once outside, Lotho holds out the papers to Thalia. "You seem well versed in this legal and political stuff. Is this enough evidence for your local judges? You said you had more evidence ... Do we need to get that, before we go to the local magistrate?"

Lotho frowns, nostrils flaring. "None should betray their family for political ambitions." He turns on Koriana, any indecision on how to proceed clearly gone from Lotho's mind. He draws his light hammer in his hand. "It would do well for you to keep quiet, and not warn her father of anything you heard here."
Intimidate:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
"And if you have any evidence that can help us, it will do well when your role in this plot is considered."
Male LG half-orc paladin 1 | HP 12/12 | AC 15 T 11 FF 14 | CMB +4, CMD 15 | F: +3, R: +1, W: +3 | Init: +1 | Perc: +1, SM: +1 | Speed 30ft | Detect Evil (at will), Smite Evil 1/1 | Active conditions: None
Lotho shakes his head, waving his hands in confusion in front of him. "Whoah, whoah ... Hold up. Your father orchestrated the kidnapping?" He looks at Koriana. "So you're working with her father ..." He glances back and forth between them, then rests on Thalia. "What would he gain from such a horrible act?"

Lotho lets the others drink and question the alchemist. He does not drink the offered tea, but instead begins looking around the shop for any potential threats or other things of interest.

Lotho nods, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder and guiding him toward the alchemist shop door. "Great. Now, if you could just tell us what you know about Mistress Koriana and this young lady here ..."

Lotho is a half-orc raised by halflings, so he certainly does not look underfed ... but that also means turning down a cookie would be a violation of his family values. He takes a cookie.
"I asked" ... chew, chew, chew ... holds up a finger ... "I asked if you were Koriana."

Lotho heads toward the alchemist shop. "Hello there. I am Lotho Proudheart of the Rubyblossom Proudhearts, Champion of the Battle of Fallowleaf Field." He folds his arms, narrowing his eyes. "I think we need to talk to you, sir."
Intimidate:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Here's hoping he has a low hit dice and/or bad wisdom.

Perception:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Doing a perception check just to be sure I'm not misconstruing something before I attack ... but hey, there are dogs attacking, so let's attack them ...
Lotho moves forward, drawing one of his javelins. He hurls the weapon at one of the dogs.
Start at 100 feet. Advance 30, so I'm at 70 feet. Javelin range 30 ft. So 2 full range increments ... bleh...
Javelin attack, range penalty:1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 4 = 18 Javeline damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Bam! (?) Javelin attack, confirm crit:1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 4 = 7 Okay ... More of a Thwack than a Bam ...

Lotho contributes 10 gold toward the ransom. "Consider this a down payment on an honest life moving forward. If you need a way to make money, consider looking up a local Pathfinder Lodge."
He nods to the others. "Yes, to the alchemist shop ..."

Trying to get a sense of the girl's emotional state ... Scared at all?
Sense Motive:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
He nods along with Mallycorn's statement. "Indeed ... if there is a way we can resolve the girl's safety to everyone's satisfaction, that is preferable to things getting ... unpleasant."

Lotho pulls his longspear, holding it in one hand, and in the other takes one of his throwing axes. He walks up to the doorway and stands there, glancing in as the others get into position behind him.

Lotho looks suspiciously at the leader, then glances at Matrialda for a moment. He nods to the leader. "I will take you at your word, but if the girl has been harmed, justice will find your people ... even in Galt."

Lotho moves to block the men's possible escape route, one hand on his own weapon but another extended for them to remain where they're standing. "Hold on, now. Can't have you folks running off to get allies to surround us. I'm sure you understand."

Yeah, okay, glad I wasn't the only one who missed that. I thought we were talking to a suspect, and didn't want to tip our hand. Missed that we were supposed to present a letter to the family before we started the investigation ... I thought we were supposed to track down the girl, then try to get a benefit from the family after we'd helped them.

This design has the high ceilings that was described by the scrying?
Lotho replies, "My lady, we are from the Pathfinder Society. We have been sent to look for an estate in this region, with some clues as to a thing of value, held in a building that has sustained fire damage. When asking in town, we were told that the Andares mansion was of the style we were seeking ... Can you tell us, is there any portion of this estate that has been damaged by fire?" He steps back, letting one of the others take the lead in the negotiations. As I realize I am untrained in Diplomacy.

Lotho glances at the others, and says, "He says the town is famous for its alcohol. Also says he doesn't know about any ruins in the area from before the People's Revolt." He turns back. "The lead we have suggests the place might have been burned down, or something."

Lotho nods to the halfling, replying in the creature's native tongue,
Halfling:
"I am Lotho Proudheart, of the Rubyblossom Proudhearts, Champion of the Battle of Fallowleaf Field. We are with the Pathfinder Society, and have been sent to look for some old ruins in the area, from before the People's Revolt ... after we find a good meal, that is."

Correction on description above. I realized I did a rebuild (mostly equipment) after my last adventure, and forgot to update my profile character sheet. Masterwork chain shirt, not studded leather. Making sure my profile is updated now.

The half-orc, in well-tended studded leather armor, an assortment of spears and javelins on his back, and a light hammer and throwing axe hanging from his belt, listens attentively to the other questions, offering none of his own.
