Wow. A whole boat. Is it a ship or a barge?
Let me know if you need me to edit out that Peja pays Payvin right there on the spot. I'm flexible.

No, it's fine. It's not a huge ship, just a river barge. Just seeing's how we are on the internet and communications are slow I thought I'd cut to the chase and try to get us rolling along. If you want to take back you sale, feel free.

Here's your image code (quote this post to see it). Feel free to discuss with the other players how you might know your PCs. Feel free to post an IC post in the IC thread when you are ready (I do have to check out your character some more, but so far, it looks good.) You can assume you meet up with the party at Khale's the next morning (where I will be moving the IC thread momentarily.)

Let's see...how would Davreya know the other characters?
Since Peja has traveled quite a bit, and Davreya is always hungry for information, I figure that he's probably bought the dwarf quite a few drinks over the last couple of years, always searching for useful tidbits. "So you've been in the east, eh Peja? Any news of the Baron's son?" If Peja is active as a merchant, then there's a good chance that Davreya has brought books from him at one point or another, or sold things to him in order the finance the purchase of other books. Davreya tends to donate all of the books that he finds or recovers to the main temple of Jasamai. Perhaps Peja respects his piousness (in reality, Davreya just thinks its the safest place to keep the books) or perhaps Peja thinks that giving the books away is (why give 'em away when you could make some serious gold by selling them?).
Davreya probably would have called upon Ari whenever he needed help translating some piece of Draconic text (even though Davreya can read Draconic, Ari has a natural talent for it that he just can't match). "Ariornvuraurix! Excellent to see you again. Say, would you mind taking a look at this for me?" He prides himself on being able to correctly remember and pronouce her name. He's always very polite to her, mostly because he's wary of her rumored powers over luck and fate. It's a kind of magic Davreya is not at all skilled with, and like most intellectuals he tends to be nervous in the presence of that which he doesn't understand.
Garrel and Davreya might have worked together clearing out the mountain passes. "You head to the front line, Garrel, and I'll support you from back here." For his part, Davreya would have been mostly interested in finding ancient cave paintings rumored to be in the area; he would have sought out Garrel as being the person most likely to know the area well. Davreya respects Enaul and admires Garrel's dedication to that deity, and he also has a high opinion of Garrel's remarkable combat prowess.
Because of Doorgath's distrust of arcane magic, he and Davreya don't get along very well. Davreya probably met Doorgath through Peja, and he's taken it upon himself to 'cure' the dwarf's hatred of all things arcane. "Oh, come on, Doorgath. It's just a harmless little cantrip!" I would assume that Doorgath probably finds Davreya to be very, very annoying. Surprisingly, Davreya gets along quite well with Reisha, despite usually being clueless around animals.
And finally, Davreya most likely would have met Kull while travelling. Given how dangerous the wilds can be, Kull probably ended up saving Davreya's life at some point. "Thank you for the help, stranger--though I'm sure I could have handled it myself." Davreya is very sypathetic to Kull's situation (after all, Davreya also lacks a place where he feels he truly belongs) and would have done as much as possible to help the half-orc out: introducing him to contacts within the Western Alliance, helping him find work as a mercenary, and lending him funds if needed. Davreya is impressed by Kull's strength, but believes that Kull should do more to improve his mind as well.

Daily preperations and standard actions:
Davreya casts Mnemonic Enhancer every morning as he prepares his spells, using it to give him three extra first level slots, each of which he fills with Shocking Grasp. He always leaves a second level slot unfilled in order to make use of his Uurnaen racial ability.
Davreya has a Shocking Grasp placed in his spell-storing weapon and will re-cast it in between attacks when possible. He prefers to stay out of melee, but if he has to fight he will try to take advantage of flanking and sneak attack whenever possible.
He uses his Prescience special ability rarely, and never as part of a combat action. He prefers to use it only when searching for traps.

Daily preparation:
After her 8 hours of sleep, Ari spends 15 minutes preparing her mind for the spells she must cast. She then casts Superior Resistance, gaining +6 to all saves, and spends an hour meditating on whatever Draconic deity she has selected for the day, after which she gains the benefits of the Spellscale's Quickening of the Blood special quality. The nature of this meditation varies daily.

That works. Peja isn't particularly pious. Prefering to congregate in the markets or in a tavern, Peja spends minimal time at the temple. Davreya would've been more than welcome to buy Peja drinks and Peja would no doubt have been happy to share news over an ale and to buy items from Davreya for Davreya's financing of other books. Peja would snap up any gemstones or begemmed items that Davreya had for sale. Not for himself but for either the temple or for his clan.

I wasn't quite sure how best to bring Davreya into the story, so I just sort of jumped in and improvised. I hope it's okay.
I'm playing Davreya as kind of a pretentious, and a little bit of a jerk but not really an intentional one. It should be fun.
