Long ago, a powerful saint gathered dozens of the world's most malignant forces of evil and locked them away in his far-flung warrens behind magically sealed doors.

Today someone opened a door...

Calling all adventurers willing to brave Monte Cook's other mega-adventure. Dungeon crawl, social intrigue, and plenty of horror await.

I'm looking for 6 characters of 5th level. Character creation guidelines:
1) Choose your own ability scores
2) Use any source material you want
3) Equip using 9000gp
4) I reserve the right to veto anything

My source materials include the core rulebooks, OA, PsH, ITCK, MoP, and the three BOEM. If you anything from outside these sources (including the WOTC splatbooks) you will need to send me a link or summary.

I will try to post at least once a day. I expect players will do the same.

Edit: Forgot about If Thoughts Could Kill
Edit: Added gp amount
Edit: Recruiting two new characters
Edit: Recruitment closed

I'll play, if you'll have me.

Looking at running a human psion.

Psicrystal: Singleminded (+2 to Concentration)
INT: 8 Special: Sighted, empathic link, telepathic link, self-propulsion

EQUIPMENT:
+1 ranged large metal shield, heavy mace, light crossbow w/ 30 bolt (in quarrel on left hip), dagger (strapped crosswise across lower back), psionic tattoo (claws of the bear) x2, psionic tattoo (lesser body adjustment) x6, dorje of astral construct II (lasts 2 rounds, 50 uses), dorje of lesser concussion (50 uses), cloak of resistance +1, silver and gold ring with small, flawed emerald setting (worth 1000 gp), 78 gp.

Appearance: Grim looks more like a religious aesthetic than anythign else. He wears a plain white robe, with a black cloak over that. His tattoos of body adjustment take the image of small red dots on his forehead, while the claws of the bear tattoos are abstract tribal triangles on his forearms. Grim keeps his hair cut short, except for a topknot, which is long and black, tied back over his neck.

Personality: Grim is actually a rather happy-go-lucky sort of individual, though he is no leader and would rather be a supporting character in the play that is life. Grim was an entertainer for some years, an uneducated religious zealot for far more, and a wandering malcontent only recently.

Grims past is something he keeps to himself, though it is known that he travelled with his family on trade routes for much of his formative years, and has never really called anywhere but the back of a wagon or the boughs of a tree his home. He is tolerant, patient, and quiet.

edit: was four power points shy.

History: Mercenary crossbowman and trapmaker, Krug Stormhammer left his dwarven hearth to see the world and earn his keep. His clan frowned upon him as he wasn't very skillful with the warhammer, and his family was severely disappointed when all he could find was a position as a crossbower; certainly one of the lowliest ranks in the dwarven hierachy. Nevertheless, he became quite an expert with it, and also spent much time making traps and opening locks, skills he knew he could sell in the outside world.

He has wandered to many places to seek his fortune, though he has probably spent most of it on ale and pork knuckles. Dressed in a stinking suit of armor and smelling like he hasn't bathed for a while, the dwarf is fanatically loyal to his companions as long as they don't complain about his BO. His appearances hides his mithril shirt and magical cloak.

Listed attacks are 2 claws (or Greatclub, the listed weapon in the MM, implying that claws/weapons are used in combination with their bite as a single full attack action).
I have Multiattack, Ambidex and Two Weapon Fighting. I assume I can use a combo of claws, weapons and the bite? My bonuses would be claws as standard + bite @-2 or weapon as standard + Bite @ -2 or 2 weapons at -2 each plus Bite @ -2.

Verakka hails from some distant swamp of the Southlands. He doesn't ever speak of his home, except to say that he is no longer welcome there for undisclosed reasons. An affinity for Humans may have been the cause, as Verakka has studied and is fascinated by Mankind. This carried over to his abilities as a Bounty Hunter (Ranger), as he proved very good at tracking down and catching Criminals.Verakka has recently shifted his focus to matters Arcane, using his skills gained as a youth in human cities to good use finding magical items and searching out enchanted places.
The Lizardman travels about with his familiar Sletha, though the little snake usually remains hidden while in cities, as the sight of a Viper would cause a rather bad reaction.

Now in Ptolus searching for a way to Seal the banewarrens, Verakka has been joined by a mysterious Grey Elf who says that he Dreamed of the Lizardman, and has come seeking him out, knowing that he needs to aid him and his companions in their Quest.

Seriously, you should at least tell us how much GP we have...

Background
Iliar is a defensive specialist, who was a bodyguard for a noblewoman for about 3 years. At one point in a supposedly safe town, his client was killed by a assassin disguised as a flower girl. Although the assassin was caught, and Iliar was cleared of all charges, he decided to leave the life of a bodyguard and become an adventurer, trying to help those in need to help himself feel better about what happened to Crysta. So far it isn't helping, and so he's begun taking on more and more dangerous locales and groups in his effort to atone. Unless he comes to terms with his failure, his inner demons will eventually get him killed. When he isn't risking death, he makes a good addition to any group, and can hold any line with the best of them.

6'9" and a wall of muscle. Shaved head, and a penchant for wearing royal blue. Tattoo of a viper on right arm near shoulder. Doesn't speak about tattoo when asked.
