It's doubtful that they are watching the thread if they think they are too late. If you wish to wait for them to make submissions it might be best to PM them directly.
This campaign sounds super cool and I've been wanting to play a character like this for a while. No matter who gets in though I hope this turns into a fun game.
I would like to submit Zariya Ameerah for consideration. She's a Human Ashiftah Witch Archmage looking to uncover the mysteries of the universe and learn all the magic she can while doing so.
"Ugh, these things are nauseating." Zariya says as she stumbles out of the swarm, trying to get away.
"You should have asked for some before coming here. It's foolish to not have everyone have a few given how these places are teeming with insects." Zariya is annoyed at the recklessness of the half-elf.
"I haven't heard that story, no. Thank you Varisia. May Sarenrae bless you." "Now, should we investigate what's behind this door? Sarenrae guide my blade." She walks up to open it.
Blood is streaming down Zariya's body after three massive cuts from the skeletons. "Wow, that was a rough fight. Good thing I had my armor or would just be a bloody pile now. They seemed to focus on me somehow. Let me get patched up before we proceed. Sarenrae, please heal your faithful servant with your blessed light." Light flashes around her, not once, not twice, but three times. Some of her wounds close up, but quite a few still remain.
"Don't try to make me bigger right now, it'll make it easier for them to hit me and I'm barely holding it together."
"Can't be much left to finish of the one I hit with my hammer. This'll hopefully do the trick and damage the others as well." Zariya pulls out an carved angelic figure hanging from her neck and holds it out. "By the holy light of Sarenrae I bid you to return to the graves from which you came, foul undead creatures!" A bright golden light flashes out from the princess, like that of the sun.
Zariya swings her hammer again at the skeleton approaching her. "Ouch." She utters in pain as the sword strikes deep.
"Nice job" Zariya flashes a smile at Varisia as he brings down the skeleton. She prepares to strike at it if it tries to get up.
The map is here since stormcrow doesn't post a convinient link to it in the header.
"You should get some blunt arrows. They would be more effective in this situation." Zariya yells out when she spots the kinds of arrows the archer is using.
"Most weapons glance of their bones. Use blunt weapons to crush them." Zariya offers a tip to the rest of the party as she drops her fauchard and gets out her lucene hammer. However her unfamiliarity with the weapon leads to her swing going wide.
Zariya is surprised to see the skeleton right up in her face and not able to avoid it's blow. It seems to aim for a vulnurable opening in her armor, but at the last moment there is a faint pulse of light and the angle of the attack changes as if battered aside to clink of her armor. Zariya swings towards the second skeleton approaching her, trying to decimate it before it can reach her.
"Seems like my goddess does indeed protect me so they can't harm me Jardar-Ki. At least with that attack. Let's use this opportunity to take back the initiative and take them down. Come on everyone, we can do this."
Zariya answers Varisia with a smile. "It's fascinating to see you work Varisia. I can use the healing scroll if we run out of other healing. It might be useful."
To Varisia's comment about not going too far Zariya responds. "Let's all go together. No point in one of us going up alone."
"Snakes are dangerous. Though I can't help but wonder if that was necessary. Could we have avoided it's death somehow?" Zariya is distraught by killing the animal even if she would have done the same a second time. Protecting her companions is more important. She walks over to the snake and examines it while murmuring a prayer. "May Sarenrae shelter your spirit. It's unfortunate that it had to end this way, but I couldn't risk my companions lives."
After finding nothing in B7 Zariya proceeds to B8, looking for anything of interest.
Zariya steps between the snake and the party, 15 feet away. "There is a snake there! Be wary." She readies to attack it if it moves towards her. "Nenet is right though, it could be something else than what it appears to be. But don't worry, I'll protect you all from it." The last bit comes out as a shout, hopefully encouraging her allies.
"We should go together and proceed slowly." Zariya says before moving up ahead, checking out the well and the benches on the opposite side before proceeding to the next room . She prays as she goes. "Sarenrae guide my eyes so I don't miss anything of note."
"i was worried for you, but I'm glad to see that you are alright. Maybe it's better that we keep together? I was bit, but it wasn't much, so might be better to save healing until more of us can benefit from it. Let's see what we find here now." Zariya proceeds to help with the searching.
If the dog is still concious after her companion's attacks Zariya will lash out with her weapon, again battering the animal aside to make it easier for her friends to finish the deal. "Zohreh, strike into the opening from my attack!"
"See, we can do this." Zariya smiles as her powerful blow knocks down the first dog, before she turns around to turn her polearm towards the other dog trying to attack her, trying to knock that out as well, giving it a solid knock on the side of the head, knocking one of the heads into the other and finishing with a menacing glare. "Down and play dead or I'll make you dead!"
Zariya rushes forward and shouts. "Don't worry Varisia! We got this. Well strike these down before they can harm you. Next time though, maybe it's a better idea if we all go together." She then strikes out at the dog that tried to bite him.
Zariya turns towards Varisia with a relived look on her face. "Gald to have you back Varisia. As I just said, That was a phenomenon called a haunt. It happens cause of some great trauma. If we were quick enough, we could have channeled positive energy to stop it, sadly I did not think of it in time. If we encounter something similar I'll try to do it though. It'll keep reappearing unless we find a way to permanently put it to rest. Not sure how often or what might put it to rest though. Anyway, should we look around out there or go in? I suggest we go in, though we should get Jardar-Ki with us." She looks over to the wall. "Hoi, Jardar-Ki, come down here!" After he rejoins the rest the princess will ask him out. "Did you see anything interesting up there? I suggest we go inside now."
"The phenomenon here is called a haunt. It happens cause of some great trauma. If we were quick enough, we could have channeled positive energy to stop it, but now that it has already had it's effect, it's too late. Though it doesn't look like it'll harm us, just be scary. There might be a way to put it to rest permanently by somehow resolving what happened here in the first place. I don't know what we would have to do for that though." Zariya practically yells out as the party is scattered all over the place.
Zariya rushes after Varisia and grabs him again. "Wait! It's some supernatural fear. We gotta stay calm. Snap out of it."
"Where did all these people come from? They are not supposed to be here. Are they even real?" Zariya says as she disbelieves he own eyes, she'll grab hold of Varisia and pull him towards the gate they entered through.
"May the light of Sarenrae illuminate my path and help me spot what is hidden." Zariya prays for guidance to her goddess as they enter the courtyard.
"There is nothing in there right? These statues are nothing interesting either. Let's just go in." Zariya says and follows Varisia through the door.
"Scouting is a bit risky. If we all go together we'll have more eyes to look out for things." Zariya says as she walks up to the statues to study them.
Sadly armor in pathfinder is not as interesting as in other games. There are no set bonuses and most properties are just more armor. If the GM doesn't specifically tailor the gear we find to our characters we'll be quite unlikely to find it. For example the armor we did find would have been a lot better for us if it was a chain shirt or a breastplate instead of a padded quilt. Why does the xp on the experience tab say 1100/2000? Are we using experience or not? For psychic area damage spells, it could be an option to research spells. It's probably a bit late now, but it would have been cool to do so with he 1000 gold Nenet got to start... For example: Crushing Force:
I think that's fairly reasonable for a 1st level spell.
"Those of you who don't already have should take. With the flask I gave to Zohreh I still have 2 flasks of fire and one of acid left, so I should be good for now. Great that we got this resolved, I feel a bit less apprehensive about potentially meeting swarms of insects now. Let's be off."
