No, MD, you can't use devine wands, just as Arcanra can't use arcane. You could always multiclass as a cleric.... As for prestige classes, I'll be trying to advance the level of the campaign quickly, so prestige classes are a go, any options from the DMG are automatically ok with me, and feel free to run any other classes by me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The party sets out into the Anauroch, a rather hastily scratched map your only guide. The party continues on along the trade routes, and the first day, you camp out in the open desert. All but Sul'Dan are sufficiently freaked out by the completely alien enviroment yu now find yourselves in. The second day, by about noon, smoke begins to rise on the horizon in the general direction of where you are heading. At 6 o'clock, when you arrive at the oasis that your map was leading you too, you find the native city in ruins. Several grotesquely bloated purpleish body lay sprawled on the ground. Your journey seems to be ended for now because the guides you were relying upon seem to have all died. Luckily, there is a clear trail where something large traveled to the west. Unluckily, the trail is quite large, perhaps 10 feet wide.
 


"Oh my! What a horrible happening, who would so such an action? The path is clear, we must avenge the most likely innocent souls, they need to be put at rest."

OoC: Who got the sceptre, can it be me?

EDIT: I plan to go epic and become a diety :) Is that allowed?

"Arcanra - be ready to invoke your god. I would not put it past our enemies to animate these men as zombie."

I move over to check the bodies for any information they might have been carrying, though I do not really expect to find anything.

[OOC: the PrC I would be interested in is Dragon Disciple, from Tome & Blood.

And as far as I am concerned, Tores is welcome to the sceptre!]

"What the-by the Luminescent Cloud! This is horrible. What a waste of precious life." Arcanra is obviously upset at this. "Something cruel and capricious, no doubt. This bodes...not well for any of us. I suggest that we keep an eye out. I am going to examine any of the bodies to see if any of them yet have life left in them." Arcanra dismounts and begins to examine the bodies for any signs of life, his long bow in one hand and his holy symbol in the other. "You needn't worry. The Luminescent Cloud reserves a special hatred for those who would raise the dead for vile purposes."

DM'S NOTE: Hmmm.... Zombies.... good idea...... :)
-All prestige classes are fine, but i have arbitrarily decided that special quests will be needed to acquire one. Nothing too hard, but still, something special.

After searching the bodies, you find several waterskins, a small amount of food, and a couple pieces of silver, and a couple weapons of decent craftmenship, nothing more.
 

"It seems our only options are to turn back or to follow this trail." I shrug, "What say you all?"

[OOC: are we staying in this thread, then? Not starting a new one? As for PrC quests ... we have a while before I am thinking of swapping, so I'll talk to you more about it then.]
 

"I say we follow the trail, my recent divine findings tell me, we must avenge them!"

to DM: Did we find out what the sceptre does from our 3 day (and yet incredibly short) waiting time?
