Hello all, I've got a party making their way through Book One still and things are going great. I had some thoughts however that I'd like some input on. Two of the PCs worship ancient Osirion gods, one being Osiris and the other Anubis. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about what types of deeds they would perform for these gods should they use the Deific Obedience feat from Inner Sea Gods?
I'm also wondering if anyone has any cool ideas for what a herald of one of these ancient deities would be like? I would like to include an encounter with one of these beings down the road.
Any input is very appreciated!

Here's some herald spitballing:
Anubis
Beneath the Pyramid: N Adult Crypt Dragon (Herald)
Spent millennia guarding the crypts of an ancient king, only to be slain by a party of mummies who were trying to steal the king's power. Anubis rewarded his centuries of service by restoring him to life so he can guard the afterlife from those who wish to abuse it.
Osiris
Rebirth: LG Celestial Sphinx Colossus (Herald)
Once an androsphinx, Rebirth was obsessed with solving the riddle of why Set dismembered Osiris. Spending decades piecing together the riddle led to a bit of an obsession, and eventual worship of the god of rebirth. Upon finding an reciting an ancient scroll, his old body melted away and he found himself reborn as a great stone visage in the very presence of Osiris. The god willed Rebirth to move, and the colossus has served him devotedly ever since.
Thanks archmagi1, those are some fantastic ideas! I really like the crypt dragon idea and I will definitely work with these. I had the same thought to use Pharasma's deed as a starting point to work from. I'm still undecided on the deeds, but it won't come up for a bit anyway.
