If we are going to do a stealth build, these seem like decent choices.
The mystery woman is mainly just to make up numbers, although she's a wildcard and could prove useful.
The archaeologist is basically just a thief, so she shouldn't be too much of a liability.
The dire wolf will be fantastic especially if we are going to be looking for and hunting out evil.

I am going to be making dinner, and I will post the next choice (enemies) after. I don't want the BBEG to influence your choice of companions. If a third person doesn't break the tie, then we will go with the archaeologist because of the higher roll.

$$Coran came back to village mostly burned down. He saw the black smoke floating from miles away, and his worst fears were true.$$
Degobert is dead. Amongst his possessions you find his holy tome, holy avenger and mythril mail, but not his head.
You take some time to pay proper respects to Degobert, as well as collateral damage from the attack.
From the few survivors, you hear that is was elves that swept over the town, laughing and singing as they ransacked and killed all in sight. Could this be the great Elvish hunt you have heard rumours of, searching out prized humans as trophies?
Degobert’s dire wolf, ==Poncho==, came back from one of its great hunts to find its master dead. A young squire, ==Name?==, pledges his allegiance to your quest that has plopped itself in front of you, avenging Degobert’s death.
Your question is, where to now?
A) Head to the largest Human city, Goldmere, to research more about the Elves and get any supplies you think you’ll need. Degobert told you of the Cathedral of the Order of the Light. Surely, their bishop would let you use their facilities to research at their library.
B) Poncho has quite the tracking sense. You can follow his nose to follow the Elvish Hunt across the plains.
C) Degobert also told you about an order of Arch Paladins in the mountains. Only the truest of paladins are able to find their way to the temple, but only the truest are worth their training.
E)Something else.

“Mereck, search the surrounding fields for supplies for our journey to Goldmere. Horses and food are what we need. I will stay to lay Degobert down to rest.”
Coran digs a hole for his master. Along with Poncho, they lay vigil all night by a big bonfire. Poncho’s howls are heard by the horses Mereck is trying to wrangle, scaring them enough to delay his mini quest a couple hours.
As you make preparations to head out to Goldmere the next morning, a woman comes up to you on a horse. “My name is (?????,) I’m an archeologist. I can tell by that tome and holy avenger that you must be Coran. I owe a lot to him, so even though I don’t know exactly what I’m getting myself into, I want to help get back at whatever did that to him.”
Before you can head out, 5 members of the village gather around your party.
“Coran, with our village destroyed, we (5 villagers) want to move back to Goldmere. We heard that is where you are going? Please take us with you, we have no protection otherwise.”
What do?
A) Mereck: “Coran, it is our duty to help these people out.” (5 day journey, as there are not enough horses for everyone.”

You reach Goldmere and say goodbye to the villagers. They give you warm embraces and wish you well on your journey. Goldmere is a small city of about 5000 near the center of human lands. They are ruled by a town council, with the Lord of the Council named Toron Aldum.
The city is on the edge of a river, and houses a vibrant merchant district, as it is a shipping point to drop off supplies to head to the human capital. The other most notable feature of Goldmere is its Cathedral. Lead by bishop Rodiro Koom, religious scholars are at the forefront of research inside its walls.
As he is a dire wolf, Poncho is not allowed inside the city walls. If you need him, Degobert had taught you how to perform his call.

After trying to barge in to the cathedral demanding to see the bishop, the guards were about to throw you out. The bishop came from his quarters after hearing the commotion of a paladin screaming about elves killing his master. Fortunately, he notices the armor and sword as his dear friend Degobert's.
"Let them go, they are to be guests of our cathedral!"
After a the commotion dies down, the bishop invites the group to have dinner in his quarters. It is modest, as the cathedral is not concerned with frills.
Over dinner, you learn that there have been whisperings of attacks by Elves on human lands. Never at a major city, but often at the small village outposts, like where Degobert lived.
"Coran, we are but a religious institution. All I can offer you is access to our library and what food we can spare while you stay. I will share weapons with you, but you will find we rely on divine power over the strength of our steel."

“The finest suits in Goldmere!”
“Flowers! Impress your lady! Flowers!”
“Tea here for all of your ailment! Forlorn? Unrequited love? Headaches? We have tea for that!”
In all of the commotion, there is one building that is oddly empty with a note on the door below their sign.
Juhan’s Apothecary: Closed for the unforseen future due to emergency circumstances.
At the docks, sailors are walking into the The Burping Eel. There is a a group of 6 clearly following the lead of a large half-orc as he tells a story. “…and we barely made it out before they boarded the ship…”
Once in the bar, you see:
1) The same group of sailors surrounding the half-orc. The din in the tavern is loud enough that you can’t really make out what it being said.

I couldn’t believe my ears, twas a combination of thunder and song coming from the foothills. Ne’er heard something like that before and soon, they were upon the town. Hundreds of elves riding in on all sorts of beasts. At first, they didn’t harm a soul…They were focused on the wizard Solymn home. As the leader went in, a beautiful Elf in dark armor, the rest of the elves stood still in the town center.

I have asked him about it, but he denies it. Perhaps you can catch him in the morning. I must go.”
With that, Bertio closes the door. You turn around to see Mereck and Alora giving you very different looks.
A) Mereck: Juhan is very much in danger. Let’s trail him in the morning to get to the bottom of this and find out what he knows.
B) Alora: He is clearly taking care of himself. Let him be a hermit. All we care about is his information. We can see where his room is. I can get up there and get all the information we need.
C) Something else?
What do you want to do? Roll a d100 for success and here is a crude places of note map that i will try to improve upon as we go.

“Alora, you’re right, we can’t afford to wait until the morning.”
As you turn to face Mereck, Alora sneaks off. “Mereck, I am going to need you to keep watch as we go up and get in the shop.”
Mereck: “Wait, where is Alora?”
You turn around to see her missing. The both of you walk around the building to see where she is. Finally you see her as she is crawling through a back window. You try to whisper-shout her down, but she is too far in the window to hear you. Moving back to the front of the Apothecary, Coran scopes out the window while Mereck keeps a lookout if anyone else has seen what has gone on.
A couple minutes drip by slowly with no sign of Alora. Finally, you catch a glimpse of a flicker in the shadows of the room. A shadow comes to the window as it opens slowly.
Alora: “I have been all over this place, I don’t think he is here.”
As you are about to tell her to come back down in order to just follow Juhan next morning, there’s a blinding flash followed by a thud. It takes a few moments for you vision to fully return and you can no longer see Alora in the window. Instead she is a heap on the ground in front of you.
You and Mereck rush to her aide. You are in the midst of casting lay on hands when you feel a thunk. On the ground is a lightstone with a note attached.
$$“I know why you want to speak to me. None of it matters. Leave Goldmere before it is too late.”$$
What next? Make sure to roll a d100 if it is anything requiring a check.

Result 100/100 Now that is the kind of roll I like seeing after a long day’s work.
You bring Alora back to the cathedral and call a meeting with Bishop Kroom. He hears what you know and is very receptive. He calls in the captain of the guard, Ratan Gartor, to take part in the meeting.
Kroom: If this is really to come to pass, I don’t know what we can do.
Gartor: Indeed it is rare for Goldmere to be attacked since we are so far inward human lands. Our militia is barely 60 strong because we’ve never needed it. I will gather my men tomorrow morning to take part in drill training and to fortify our defenses however we can at your suggestion.
Kroom: We can also contact the shipping yards. If we need to evacuate Goldmere, the river may be our best hope. Coran, I will see that Alora gets the best care she can, but I must take leave. We house one of the greatest libraries in the land. Surely, if there is a history to these kind of elven attacks, they will be on record. I…I must also work out a plan to save our books if it comes to that.
Since that roll was a nat 100 and since that paladin picture is awesome, I am counting that as part of that result.
Mereck and Coran head back to Juhan’s apothecary. Giving caution to the wind, you kick in the door.
Coran: My name is Coran, a paladin of the Order of the Light. Whatever dark forces have taken root here shall not prevail. Show yourself if you wish to have mercy!
Hobbling around a corner, you see a very pale Bertio.
Bertio: Something isn’t right. I’ve never seen him like this before. I went to his room after the explosion to see if something was wrong. There was him but then again there was more than him. He saw me and I started to see his face soften, but then he bellowed at me. It felt as if he was in my head, growling to get out.
With that, Bertio collapses.
What next? As always, roll that d100 for results and I will always adjust up for good description.

>>1138Use True Sight on Bertio before going to his master's room with whatever new information that gives
ad5f54 No.1236
You use your true sight on Bertio and it is very clear that he is indeed telling the truth. He is indeed very scared and has no idea what is going on with Juhan.
Before you enter Juhan's room, you motion to Mereck to make sure that he is watching your back. You remember that Alora couldn't find Juhan and that was her downfall.
Breaking down the door, you don't see much as it is very dark. Instead you hear a dark growl penetrating your mind.
$$ I gave you fair warning. You should have left Goldmere before it was too late. $$
What do?
A) Try to fight Juhan. (need to d20s for initiative for you and Mereck)
B) Try to reason/talk with Juhan. (Roll a d100 and describe what you are doing.)
C) Something else (roll a d100 for success.

Results: Juhan: 19, Mereck: 11 (10+1 from training), Coran: 2
Coran is left confused from the mindspeak, which staggers him back. He hears a glass shatter beneath his feet. A sulfurous scent wafts up to his nose, and his skin starts to burn beneath his mail. -8hp chemical burn damage.
In the flash from the flask bursting, Mereck sees where Juhan is camped. He rushes towards Juhan with his sword ready to strike. A quick slash cuts across Juhan's arm (-4hp)
Coran feels the ongoing burn under his mail (-3hp)
What shall you do on your turn?
Things to do possibly:
A) Give Mereck orders.
B) Attack Juhan. (roll d20+5 for chance to hit. (19-20/x2 crit) 1d8 for damage)
C) Try to take care of this burn under your suit.
D) Use one of your powers/skills.
Truthfully, we never rolled for hp on Coran. Roll 5d10+10 for that by the way. If you are attacking, roll a d20 for your chance to hit.

Round 2
Roll 4d6+8 for Mereck HP. We should probably start figuring these things out as the quest goes on.
Juhan's left arm has a nasty gash in it, so he uses his right arm to fling several jars and beakers from the counter in front of him.
They land on and around Mereck, with half of them smashing. (-10 HP and roll a d20 for Mereck to be able to stay standing from the noxious fumes.)

Mereck: 22-10= 12/22
Juhan: MaxHP-4/Max HP
Mereck's Turn:
Mereck somehow stays standing from the fumes and attacks at Juhan to prevent him from throwing another vial with his longsword. Rolled 19, (1d6+1)*2 for crit= 14 damage The slash hits Juhan across the chest, leaving a deep gash that is quickly filling with blood.
Coran, your turn.
1) Fight (1d20+5 to hit, damage is 1d8+2 (crit x2 for 19-20)
2) Orders to Mereck?
3) Healing?
4) Something else?
So I am using random.org to roll "behind the curtain" when I roll actions for the other characters. It seems like there is only one player right now, but if we get more people, I will gladly let the party control all PCs in a fight or whatever.

You connect with Juhan barely
gogo Holy Avenger but the strike is sound. Juhan is staggered back, but he has a flask in his belt. He reaches with his bloody hand and throws it at Mereck.

As he is weakened, Juhan's aim isn't quite what it should be. The flask crashes behind both of you, exploding into flames.
As the fire starts to eat at the walls, Mereck prepares his sword for one final blow.
ad5f54 No.1436
Mereck's swing is also affected by his weakened state, as he is unable to connect with Juhan.
The flames start to spread up the walls. Juhan's materials armoire is in the direct path. If that is burned, there is no telling what magic might be released.
Coran's turn.
1) Fight? (1d20+5) to hit 1d8+2 damage)
2) Heal?
3) Reason with Juhan?
4) Run away?
5) Sing a song?

RESULTS: 10 does not hit Juhan.
The fire burns closer to the armoire. Some of the more sensitive flasks start to release fumes from the heat.
Each character needs to roll a DC10 to see through the fumes or take a -2 penalty to accuracy.
Juhan is very weak, but he rolls a 20 against the fumes, as he has dealt with chemicals for a long time. It doesn't help his accuracy as he rolls a 6 pretty much dropping the flask at his feet, not even breaking the glass.
Mereck is not as lucky with the fumes. He fails the roll 6 so his ensuing swing misses Juhan.
Coran's turn.
