The hard part arises. This is a CR3 challenge. You need to agree to an adventuring party name. Who formed the party? Are you all original members or are some of you new recruits? How did you meet?

Khadi has been submitted.
A duskwalker cleric of Khepri, god of the rising sun in the eastern horizon, she has been trained to combat undead due to her heritage, though she did not turn out quite as expected with her choice in deity. Still she is naturally skilled in manipulating positive energy, and has studied more mundane methods of tending to wounds as well, aiding the labourers of the city where she couldn't help physically. If she is hit however, she will go down. She is cheerful, and not beyond the occasional light hearted prank, and often stops to just talk with the people of the city.
She is entering the necropolis for various reasons, including just to finally get a chance to fight undead after being told it is what she is fated to do due to her heritage, but she also wishes to protect.
Depending on how many others are native to the city, we could all have known each other in passing and heard of others plans to enter. If not she likely would have been heading to taverns as people flocked to the city, looking to form a group offering healing and divine blessings in exchange for people more physically able, and skilled at dealing with any unknown non dead threats, both living and mechanical like traps, so happy for her to have been the one to gather everyone else together.
Her suggestion for names will likely be things like Scholars/Guardians of the sun. I myself am currently drawing a blank.
Edit: Oh warning I don't actually have spellcraft as so few few skills, and others better fit the character and concept.

Sorry, all. Thought that I accepted the invite, but I guess that I didn't. In any case, may I present Iseret, a halfling lass who specializes in getting in and out of ancient structures alive.
Iseret
EDIT: Well, I'll introduce her as soon as Qralloq okays her. I did not use the feat tax rules in her creation, though I can adapt to them if you wish. Doesn't really affect her much right now anyway. She is a halfling thief rogue from the city.

For names, I figure something descriptive like "Tomb Breakers" or "Graverobbers". Okay, okay. I'm kidding. Iseret is in this for the history, plain and simple. She is an archaeologist by trade and would love to see any artifacts found returned to the museum, minus a finders fee, of course.

I'm feeling I might need to start looking into Spellcraft as the only magic wielder. (Unless a lore warden can do anything fancy?)
Yeah while not a Pharasmin, Khadi has ties to the clergy so no to such overt names. Breakers of the dark could alude to the fact quite a few seem to be looking to find knowledge/artifacts. She would likely want something a bit more interesting than just a single word. The Rising Sun or Oncoming Dawn are other suggestions.

Yeah I couldn't recall if they had a way to detect magic as I know spellcraft counts as class skill for them. As is I may be the one able to see aura's... I can maybe sacrifice some damage to undead for spellcraft. Or diplomacy, but I have that as I have bonuses from archetype (and she is more charisma focused than wis as a channeler). Where is everyone else on diplomacy? (And skill in general actually. Khadi has heal, religion, planes and diplomacy. The planes comes in later, as part of plan 'make heal a useful skill'.
I could also actually just wait and see if we run into a problem with lack of spellcraft, and then through a point or 2 in.

I would have to change Dahrehn a little.
I will post it here so people knows what it is.

Not much diplomacy needed against undead is there? Kadin has a 7 Cha, so he is not a face, pally has high charisma.
Cleric should go more wis tbh, channel is not as viable in 1e as it was in 3.5, it has been nerfed in Pathfinder.
Wisdom is a Clerics best bet in 1e.

We probably don't need to worry too much. Don;t want to force you to change your entire build, especially as lore wardens are quite neat. I can jig some bits as well or I guess we can pay someone for identify if necessary :P.
And hey Khadi is very squishy and if Qralloq's enemies go for 'target the caster/healer first' you get a better spellcaster sooner :P.

I'm not really keen on strange builds for my own characters, but if it interests you, go for it. That level of complexity and customizing in Pathfinder is a big draw, really. It it ends up too twinky or broken, I'll just kill you off casually, haha.

I know for standard clerics Wis is best bet, but spells she's gonna be using are support and buffs so doesn't need dcs, and the archetype makes channeling more effective. Like the heal skill it's something to invest heavily in but if you do you can still get a lot of mileage out of it. (I should say she still has 16 Wis, just 17 cha). It's a different build from a standard cleric that I've been wanting to try for a while. It's not optimizer by any means but hey it's got flavour and is more my style. (Believe me my inner optimizer is screaming at her ability scores, this is the first time in a long time I've had 0 con modifier)
And well there could still be uses for diplomacy, like selling our stuff etc. But as you said due to undead it is likely the first to go if others have it but it fits the character so would like to keep if able.

Do you, it is your character LOM, just pointing out the nerf on channeling in 1e. I like playing clerics myself but usually a standard healer when I do. And I do not know all of the archetypes available for clerics in general. I just want to have some fun and hope everyone else is as well.
