"Pardon meh manners, lass. Name's Redd. Redd McHerrington. I'm just a travelin' tradesman, not unlike yourself! I am't lookin' for jewelry, but I think the man you're looking for is Carth. Carth Garenth. Wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to find 'im, though. Maybe some of the locals might."
"What a time to be visiting! It's the best time to catch important people in one place. You're looking for jewelry, eh? Of course you are! Pretty youngin' and all. Well, if you've any business to conduct in Highdelve, now's the time, to be sure!"
"I was beginning to do better... and then these blasted biters started showing up. Even the screens don't seem to keep them out. I'm worried... In the past, when swarms were bad, miners got sick. Some have even died. Our medic used to make this foul smelling mist that would keep them at bay, but..."
Her attention wanders, and she perks up.
"I made you these!" Delbina runs into a back room and carries out several sacks. "It's been boring here with nobody to talk to, so I gathered up what rations I could find and put them in these bags. Should be about ten days worth."
She glances over to the table, "Actually, I made you guys dinner the other day... thinking you'd be back. How long do you think you'll be gone this next time?"
"Nah dat der rain lest nite probly warshed away dem tracks. An' b'sides, it wun't 'round this road. West road."
Tammarak stretches and swats away a few mosquitoes. Absentmindedly he grins as he looks at one that got squashed in his hand.
"Heh. Nat as bad as dem wit yeller wings."
"Mens? Yaa, an't more'n two probly workin. Well, an't none of'm bin workin fer tha lest munth. Heh. Gah! An' dem minin dogs. Tha ones wit ate legs. They bin roamin' 'round tha woods lately. Awful nasty. Besta clim a tree if'n ya come across one o' dem."
"But tha lest two they're diggin' in were Stygia an' Caina. Talk was dat after them two they're gonna close down tha whole i'land, unless they found sumthin real gud."
"Stygia o'er der in tha far west. Caina up der in tha far north. Always did worr' that dem der dragon gonna fly down an' burn us all aliv. Ne'er did. Rumor was he's more a trickster, but I an't takin' ma chances."
You hear gurgling sounds coming from his midsection.
"Say... Men if I go get ma badger? I bin diggin' 'im out fer a gud couple days... an' I'm mighty hangry..."
He smacks another mosquito on the back of his neck.
At the sound of those words he lets out another hoot and his smile returns.
Brother Grimdoc wrote:
"But first we gotta figure out what's happening and then we can sets things right."
"Aight, far trade. I thnk it'sa bin... two... ya, two yers since I fecked ma deth. Ya, two yers..."
He's counting on his fingers and tapping at the air as he does so.
"Men they had'mat was Fleg'thon. I 'erd tha cav'n tha covr'd ma escap was caused bah sum big 'ol aps. Gess'n I owe'm, eh? Heh, heh."
"Diz, Arabus, and Avrnus an't bin mend'n yers. An't nuth'n goin' on der but sealed up holes. Cows bin grazin'er, but they'll up an' died bout munth'go. Sam time cl'ny went silent..."
"An't a sole bin movin' round on da roads. I was juz feelin' safe'nuff when I ran across ya lot. Gave me'a scar, ya did. Heh. Roads pretta safe'n, espeshly from them wulfs an' aps. They dun't go near da roads. Probly usta menners goin' back'n forth."
"Bout few days'go, tho, I seen sumthin. Tracks. Bare'fut. Headin' back to tha cl'ny. Onda road. I thot it be them spirits o' tha dead, so I an't goin' back ther. Not if'n my life dep'nds on't."
His gaze drifts over to the mountains in the north.
"Rather get eaten by that ther dragon up'n them hills than ma sole taken inda night..."
He stands up, brushing himself off (though he's still quite dirty). He looks relieved, and for the first time, he smiles.
"Ya, gav'm tha slip cpl yers'go dur'n a cav'n. Bin hid'n since. An if'n ye an't bonty hunt'rs, then I'msa freem'n! Haha!"
And then his smile fades.
"Ya gotta git'ma off'n this i'lnd! It's cursed! Shadows wa'k tha nite! All tha min'rs ternta darkness! Ya cun onla go out durin tha day! Pleez, ya gotta helpma!"
He steps up to Grimdoc, grabbing your shirt front. His bright blue eyes look wild and full of fright.
The man looks surprised at the question. He somewhat lowers his hands, and some of the sobbing stops.
"Ya men, ya drn't kna h'am? Ya an't bin hnt'n me?"
He looks back and forth between the two men. When Samuel joins the rest of the group, the man sits up. When Calistan joins, the man's tears have mostly stopped.
Delbina eventually crawls out of her apple barrel. Sobbing, she asks, "What... What should I do? The island is dangerous... We've lost several miners to mosquitoes... But if I stay here... Is it safe?"
The sickly-looking Delbina nervously twitches as she scans the yard.
"You... you won't think ill of me, will you? I see... I see things... every now and then... I thought, maybe, they'd go away when you rescued me from that creature... but..."
She shivers against a cool seabreeze.
"I've been haunted by a pair of milky white eyes... they... they stare at me... from the darkness... I get this feeling of horror and dread every time I think about them..."

Scholar of the Great Beyond:
Category Basic (Faith)
Your greatest interests as a child did not lie with current events or the mundane — you have always felt out of place, as if you were born in the wrong era. You take to philosophical discussions of the Great Beyond and of historical events with ease. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (history) and Knowledge (planes) checks, and one of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you.
Low-Light Vision: Half-elves can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Adaptability: Half-elves receive Skill Focus as a bonus feat at 1st level.

Multitalented: Half-elves choose two favored classes at first level and gain +1 hit point or +1 skill point whenever they take a level in either one of those classes.
Class Features:
Nature Bond - Destruction(Rage) Domain: Destructive Smite (Su):
You gain the destructive smite power: the supernatural ability to make a single melee attack with a morale bonus on damage rolls equal to 1/2 your cleric level (+8). You must declare the destructive smite before making the attack. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier (8/day).
Rage (Su):
At 8th level, you can enter a fearsome rage, like a barbarian, for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. At 12th (Lesser Fiend Totem) and 16th level (Moment of Clarity), you can select one rage power. You cannot select any rage power that possesses a level requirement, but otherwise your barbarian level is equal to 1/2 your cleric level. These rounds of rage stack with any rounds of rage you might have from levels of barbarian.
Nature Sense (Ex):
A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks.
Wild Empathy (Ex):
A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result.
The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check.
Woodland Stride (Ex):
Starting at 2nd level, a druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect her.
Trackless Step (Ex):
Starting at 3rd level, a druid leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired.
Resist Nature's Lure (Ex):
Starting at 4th level, a druid gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like and supernatural abilities of fey. This bonus also applies to spells and effects that target plants, such as blight, entangle, spike growth, and warp wood.
Wild Shape (Su):
At 4th level, a druid gains the ability to turn herself into any small or Medium animal and back again once per day. Her options for new forms include all creatures with the animal type. This ability functions like the beast shape I spell, except as noted here. The effect lasts for 1 hour per druid level, or until she changes back. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. The form chosen must be that of an animal the druid is familiar with.
A druid loses her ability to speak while in animal form because she is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal can make, but she can communicate normally with other animals of the same general grouping as her new form. (The normal sound a wild parrot makes is a squawk, so changing to this form does not permit speech.)
A druid can use this ability an additional time per day at 6th level and every two levels thereafter, for a total of eight times at 18th level. At 20th level, a druid can use wild shape at will. As a druid gains in levels, this ability allows the druid to take on the form of larger and smaller animals, elementals, and plants. Each form expends one daily usage of this ability, regardless of the form taken.
At 6th level, a druid can use wild shape to change into a Large or Tiny animal or a Small elemental. When taking the form of an animal, a druid's wild shape now functions as beast shape II. When taking the form of an elemental, the druid's wild shape functions as elemental body I.
At 8th level, a druid can use wild shape to change into a Huge or Diminutive animal, a Medium elemental, or a Small or Medium plant creature. When taking the form of animals, a druid's wild shape now functions as beast shape III. When taking the form of an elemental, the druid's wild shape now functions as elemental body II. When taking the form of a plant creature, the druid's wild shape functions as plant shape I.
At 10th level, a druid can use wild shape to change into a Large elemental or a Large plant creature. When taking the form of an elemental, the druid's wild shape now functions as elemental body III. When taking the form of a plant, the druid's wild shape now functions as plant shape II.
At 12th level, a druid can use wild shape to change into a Huge elemental or a Huge plant creature. When taking the form of an elemental, the druid's wild shape now functions as elemental body IV. When taking the form of a plant, the druid's wild shape now functions as plant shape III.
Totem Transformation (Su):
At 2nd level, a saurian shaman may adopt an aspect of the saurian while retaining her normal form. This ability functions as the dragon shaman’s totem transformation ability, but the druid may select from the following bonuses:
Movement (+10 enhancement bonus to land speed)
Scales (+2 natural armor bonus to AC)
Senses (low-light vision, scent)
Natural weapons (bite [1d6], 2 claws [1d4] for a Medium druid, rake, +2 CMB to grapple)
While using totem transformation, a saurian shaman may speak normally and can cast speak with animals (reptiles and dinosaurs only) at will.
Totemic Summons (Su):
At 5th level, a saurian shaman may cast summon nature’s ally as a standard action when summoning reptiles and dinosaurs, and these summoned creatures gain temporary hit points equal to her druid level. This ability otherwise functions as the dragon shaman’s totemic summons ability.
This ability replaces a thousand faces.
Timeless Body (Ex):
After attaining 15th level, a druid no longer takes ability score penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any penalties she may have already incurred, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the druid still dies of old age when her time is up.
