Some resistance fighters can make use of her combat-centric potions, such as [http://dndsrd.net/spellsFtoG.html#false-life false life], [http://dndsrd.net/spellsHtoL.html#invisibility invisibility], and [http://dndsrd.net/spellsAtoB.html#blur blur].

			= HER STORY =

			Collune served as an apprentice undertaker as a little girl, when one day she found Kyuad born in a state of ''almost''-death in the small town of Hillbird. She settled there as soon as possible and has served as the local undertaker for quite some time.

			Before she settled in Hillbird however, as a young woman she attempted to live as an adventurer. She saw how the world around her had been ravaged by the influence of Izrador, and saught to take a stand for Good. She joined a group of Sarcosans and Danisil that went into the jungles to stop a ''(insert plot here]''.

			The efforts of the group were not quite as affective as they had hoped. She learned from this experience that adventuring wasn't for her - she longed to be in a home and to put down roots and develop lasting relationships. She returned to Hillbird determined to adventure locally, working with the local resistance fighters attempting to plot against the Shadow forces.

 :: ''Mastery of Spirits'': The spiritual channeler may exorcise any possessing entity from a corporeal, living creature. This ability works just like the good cleric's ability to turn undead in the d20 system core rules, except that it is a Wisdom check and it only functions on creatures using a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability to possess another creature. Common examples include a ghost's or spirit's malevolence ability, the magic jar spell, or dominate person.
 :: If the channeler is successful, the entity is forced out of the host and back into its own body, a receptacle, or simply expelled into the nearest space outside the host, whichever is appropriate for the possessing effect. A creature that has benefited from the channeler's exorcism ability may not be possessed by the same being for 24 hours; if the channeler had double the possessing creature's HD, that creature may not be possessed by the same creature for one year.

	~~Collune and Kyuad sometimes communicate with each other over long distances. How this is accomplished could be difficult.~~		= POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES =

	* '''Sending a Message'''		===In Occupied Lands===
	** Writing materials could be dangerous to be cought with. Some methods to deal with this:
	*** ''illusory script'' or ''secret page'' 3rd level spells. If the messenger were to be captured, this would prevent the message from being read, for a time. The downside is that it detects as an enchantment on the message.
	**** ''symbol of sleep'' 5th level spell. This could be added to any message to prevent legates, but especially orcs, from capturing the messenger.
	**** ''obscure object'' 1st level spell. Maximized this spell can last 16 hours (or any multiple of 8 if allowed).
	*** ''shrink item'' 3rd level spell. Multiple messages could be hidden within a scroll case (even spells) and the case shrunk to 1/16 its size. For a case that's 9 inches long (23 cm), it would become a 1.4 cm long item - about a quarter the size of an asprin. This could be hidden anywhere - in a hollowed fake tooth, up the rectum, in an earring, anywhere. The downside is that at the end of the spell's duration it becomes normal again (this should be very easy to time though) and it still detects as a magic item, or perhaps many.
	** Collune's Seer abilities ''could'' allow her some insight as to where Kyuad would be at a certain time. This would allow her to send a package (like some papers with writing on them) with a messenger.
	*** ''sending'' 5th level spell. This can send a short message to anyone the caster knows, anywhere.
	*** ''lesser geas'' - 3rd level spell. She could command someone, like a hireling, to take the package to a destination without looking at it. The issue here is the chance of the messenger getting nabbed for travel, and then punished for carrying written materials.
	*** ''animal messenger'' - 2nd level spell. With Extend Spell's duration improvement, it would last 2 days per caster level (so, at least a week). With a small message affixed to a creature like a hawk, this would be a very reliable method of getting the message out, as long as Kyuad is within about 1000 miles of Collune (migratory birds can travel about 800-900 miles in a week). The downside is that the enchantment active on the bird might be detected by an astirax or negated by a mirror, and if either happens the chance of this method failing completely is high.

She is especially hostile toward astiraxes and will work against them on occasion.<br>'''Method:''' Collune casts [http://darknessfalls.leaderdesslok.com/magic_spells.htm#Detect%20Astirax detect astirax], modified to be a [http://darknessfalls.leaderdesslok.com/character_feats.htm#Scentless%20Spell scentless spell] and explores an area that seems as though astiraxes could be active.

	Collune and Kyuad are collaborating together on a language called [[Safati_conlang\|Safati]]. This does require some communication back and forth. Using game mechanics, it's a bit of a stretch to just say that they each take ranks in the language. If that's all it takes, then anyone could do the same, and the whole point is that it's a language that can only be learned by those who are taught by Kyuad and Collune. So, there aught to be a way for the two of them to work out some sort of method by which they can pass messages to one another.
