I'm interested in trying out a Witch, as I've never played one yet, and Ustalav seems like a very witch-y sort of place.
The character was designed for a Skulls and Shackles game, and then floated past a Jade Regent game, so the character sheet is a mess. I can clean it up and find a suitable Carrion Crown trait, etc.
Chance Savior (+2 Init) or Inspired by Greatness (+1 CL to one spell, which would be something like mage armor, that he'll probably be casting daily for many levels) sound decent, as does On the Payroll (for the +150 gp).
