Chapter 1

"Did the Katapeshi even seek a peaceful resolution? Can the pact masters honestly expected to broker peace?" Laracell asks
"These are Gnolls and birgands Laracell, even here in Qadira we fight them and for what? Fighting evil is its own reward? In Katapesh actually people look out for my bottom line and Family history is important to me, Kelmarane is the homeland of our ____ [Good Air or Evil Fire Djinn Efreet] Ancestors if I need to remind you" Carrissa remembers saying before leaving Qadira as she rides in the caravan wagon.
With her the Kobold "Vorliax" who is like her also like you, a Sorcerer and Emmeric the Chelaxian white mage of Nethys.

The Caravan Driver “Reshma” calls out “were almost at the camp site, should be right over this hill” as Carrissa in fond remembrance of her dear brother “My once Master Pirate King Count Vodhhaviir would have you on your knees but you barely notice me, how times change.” says the kobold says giving Carissa a solid look. "No time for that now" says Emmeric we need to gather our barings who knows how ready we need to be when we arrive in camp.

Oddly enough all three of have crossbows Emmeric has a staff, Vorliax with a small Kobold sized spear and Carrissa with an extra large spear appropriate for jousting. She also has two Lapis Lazulis, 1/5 lb of gold coins and a single platinum coin.

Over top the last rise, the caravan camp comes into view. Half-dozen wagons and a large tent clustered around the distinctive tree comes into view. Camels in a nearby pen prance in agitation, and a clutch of confused goats and livestock wander the grounds around the wagons. Perhaps a dozen men and women rush around the campsite, chasing down an animal or hastening toward the center of the cluster, near the Sultan’s Claw the landmark tree, with pails of water in their hands. One of the wagons is on fire! Lush orange and red flames engulf an elaborate wooden wagon emblazoned with painted moons and stars. A gout of smoke pours from an open door, and as you approach an ill wind blows a number of colorful fortune-telling Harrow cards from inside the wagon. Emerric, one of these singed cards blows directly at him, catching against his chest in a burst of orange cinders. It is the Cyclone, signifying a force that tears through whatever it meets at the behest of an intelligent being. The card portends war, arson, and destructive plans. As your dazzled eyes shift their focus from the Cyclone back to the wagon, the whole of the Sultan’s Claw erupts into brilliant flame. The central flap of an elaborate tent flies open and a regal woman who can only be Almah steps out into the firelit night. “Douse that flame!” she shouts to the men surrounding the wagon before turning in your direction. “Ah, Garavel!” she says. “And just a moment later than the nick of time, as usual.”
Looking specifically past her major domo and directly at the trio of casters, Almah barks out a simple order before running off toward the fire: “Find some way to help!”

Normally I would assume I know what Carrisa will do in situations like this but im still learning about Carissa

When we reach the ends of messages like this suggest courses of action

give flashbacks.

How familiar are you with pathfinder? I kinda feel like you know what you are doing because when you chose sorcerer and chose to have high Charisma and thats the best stat for a sorcerer unless you plan on multiclassing.

Im intending as PbEM so it doesnt need to be public

In email I can send Color pictures
