"I do not think... that was an actual ghost, or vision. There was a magical element to that."
A look of distaste crosses his face.
"Anyone who would desecrate a holy place like this is an abomination!"
He does his best to clean the long-forgotten shrine (and if the party is willing to wait, would be happy to use Mending on it).
"I know not what god or goddess was worshiped here, but I offer up a prayer to whomever might be listening: You have not been forgotten. Please watch over us as we cleanse this place of its corruption."
"When we have scoured this place of hostiles, I would hope that we can offer this poor individual a decent burial. Their soul may have ridden the River to Osiris' judgement hall, but seeing their former dwelling place left here like so much trash... disquiets me."
He then cautiously moves to check-out the room on the other side.
As he crosses the threshold, Sobekhotep offers-up a brief prayer.
"Whilst the former residents are long gone, this was still once a home. May Bes, God of Households, watch over us as we explore the remains of a hearth long grown cold."
He frowns as he regards the skeleton, attempting to determine whether it is animate or inanimate.
Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16.
He then cautiously moves in to give the kitchen a cursory look.
Definitely. It takes 2 minutes per 5' square, though, so I would generally only do it on doorways/chests/things that look suspicious. 'Taking 10', on the other hand, does not take any additional time.
With Indus assisting Sobekhotep, that would mean or 'walking around' Perception is 22, 32 for when we are suspicious.
Just checking... but have we deliberately crossed over into PF2 with our alchemical items?
Normally, in PF1, a vial of Alchemist's Fire does 1d6 fire damage on a direct hit (x1.5 against swarms), 1 splash on a miss... and does an extra 1d6 (x1.5 against swarms) the following round. It also costs 20gp.
Normally, in PF2, a lesser alchemist's fire does 1d8 Fire and 1 persistent Fire on a direct hit... and costs 3gp.
If the change is deliberate, there are a few other ones that we might want to stock up on ;-)
With the additional damage Indus took from the skeletons, Sobekhotep realises that the man is now reasonably injured, and casts Infernal Healing on him, again.
I believe he was exactly 10 hp down, after the skeleton strike and his own splash damage, so he should now be at full.
After cleaning the coins and earring, Sobekhotep carefully puts away the loose change, and warily moves to inspect the next outbuilding along, wary as to what horrors will leap out *this* time.
"Such an infestation would make it extremely difficult to prepare the body properly for eternity, after death."
He then frowns.
"Anyone game to investigate its nest...?"
Realising that *he* is probably best-qualified to search, he gingerly steps around the corpse, and peers into its den; if satisfied that there isn't another one in there, he moves to investigate.
"I admire your courage, but let's leave going down the well solo as our final option, once we have confirmed there isn't something down there that will try to eat you."
Sobekhotep pats Lueck consolingly on the shoulder.
"The Old Gods have indeed fallen into relative obscurity, but they are not entirely forgotten. The mere fact that your fiery belief exists proves that. I would be honored to assist you in spreading knowledge of Her."
"If Diorio wishes to be healed, I certainly have no objection to heading back to the Temple, but we can still pop back over here in the afternoon. There is no sense wasting daylight."
"That depends. If we are respectful, I see no reason why we could not rest there... after dealing with any guardians that have been left behind. Shredding mummies to search for grave goods would, however, be an extremely unwise idea."
"Truly, the vermin around here have grown unconscionably large of late. I do not wish to dwell o'er long on what its main source of sustenance is likely to be..."
He then channels the power of the Old Gods again, providing Indus with Guidance.
Bardic Knowledge (Ex)
A bard adds half his class level (minimum 1) to all Knowledge skill checks and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained.
Archaeologist’s Luck (Ex)
Fortune favors the archaeologist. As a swift action, an archaeologist can call on fortune’s favor, giving him a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. He can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his Charisma modifier. Maintaining this bonus is a free action, but it ends immediately if the archaeologist is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. Archaeologist’s luck is treated as bardic performance for the purposes of feats, abilities, effects, and the like that affect bardic performance. Like bardic performance, it cannot be maintained at the same time as other performance abilities. This bonus increases to +2 at 5th level, +3 at 11th level, and +4 at 17th level.

Appearance and personality:
Silvery White hair, Fair elven skin, gold eyes. Adorned in a blue and green silken robes with his tough hide shirt underneath. He has ancestral elven Tattoos he got from his time in the family.
Azari is...A studious boy. Young by Elven standards, having started his travels only recently upon reaching adulthood. Not quite the typical traveling Ministrel, he's more of a traveling Researcher or at least that's what he hopes to be some day. He loves telling stories, and what he finds.
His love of stories extends into his life to the point he wants to be a hero, and believes strongly in pursuing justice and using his love of study to help people
Backstory:
Azari was born out of wedlock, the bastard of a wealthy elven noble family in Magnimar. Having not exactly been someone the family wanted to acknowledge, he has waited and bide his time until he was of age to strike off on his own.
Once he reached a proper age, he left. Got a job at a library and that's were it all started... He spent most of his days reading books and cataloging quietly, spent time and stayed at a local tavern listening to traveling adventurers tell their stories.
After hearing so many stories he began saving and planning his own adventure...To learn the about Ancient Civilzations. He trained in the traditional Elven weapons he knew about, saved money from his job and practiced many skills he thought would be useful. He eventually joined the Pathfinders generally under the assumption that such a powerful organization would be helpful in his research.
