You'll want two more Wisdom to get the most from Spellstitched, Avor.

Doesn't it only check your wisdom when you apply it? I can just put on a booster item.

So, with Archibald's body having ~mysteriously~ vanished and deathduck able to smack fools with 12 swords at once, I figure there won't be much call for Xil right away after all.

Gonna see if any minions survived the suicide mission.

Pathfinder templates say it. It'd be nice, but it's not a big deal. I think there is a handful of specific templates in 3.X that say to do it, but they're specific.

Also, skill question. Nosferatu gives a racial bonus on Stealth and Perception, so... Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Search and Spot, right?

Cool.
Avor, if you haven't, add your Cha bonus to hp.

Tek, of the Devildrinker Clan
Kenku Nosferatu Spellstitched Warmage 1

Tek's clan was once the Devil-foulers, known for flitting from alley to alley of a planar metropolis, daring to steal from devils. Boss Veseteta, his cheif, ran afoul of a powerful pit fiend necromancer one night. While the clan was loathe to kill a profitable mark, murder was the only possibility for survival. The clan descended upon the devil, overwhelming him with sheer numbers.
The battle was interminable and terrible. Many kenku were lost. At the end, they were victorious, however. Boss Veseteta consumed the eyes, savouring every drop, but allowed his clan to consume the flesh with him. Many of them were twisted by the magically charged blood and flesh and miniature potential promotions for the now dead devil.
The arcane blood coated Tek's feathers and beak, etching white runes of eldritch power even as they drew his life form from him. When his head came up from the gory corpse, he found himself changed, with far more taste for blood than meat.

note: Tek usually uses his telekinesis ability to carry his backpack.

Currently, I'm thinking of a martially focused cleric, probably through the RoD half-ogre race combined with (if permissible) the Mineral Warrior template. The burrow speed won't be that useful, since most of the crypts is stone (or whatever). Is that a bit excessive? I'd end up with the War domain and something else; I'm undecided.

Is that okay, and does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure I've asked this before, but just how wide are the corridors in the Crypts? Playing a large character might be problematic.

A moment of getting my act together: which character is currently holding the golden sword taken from the drow?

I think Berry put the sword in a sack, with some other stuff.

The sword is in Berry's sack as detailed here unless anyone else has moved it since?

Dolgrim are from Eberron, right? Does that mean Artificers exist?

How likely is Berry to know whether there are magic item crafting specialists dwelling in the Gnome Zone?

I believe she is intimately familiar with them - and vice versa.

The Eberron Campaign Setting made it into the list of included books at some point, so presumably everything in there is fair game.

Everything we just looted went in the sack, except for the staff and godblade, which went to Cadwyn.

And yes- the Gnomeworks houses the artifice talents of top gnomes. Top. Gnomes.
