SPECIAL ABILITIES

+2 Brawling Studded Leather: This armor grants Zurnzal a +2 bonus on unarmed attack and damage rolls, including combat maneuver checks made to grapple.

Brawler’s Flurry (Ex): When Zurnzal makes a full-attack, he has the Two- Weapon Fighting feat while using unarmed strikes, close weapons, and monk weapons, and he adds his full Strength modifier to all attacks.

Brawler’s Strike (Ex): Zurnzal’s unarmed attacks count as magic.

Close Weapon Mastery (Ex): Zurnzal can deal 1d6 damage with any weapon from the close weapon group (such as daggers) if he wants.

Desperate Assassination: During the first part of this adventure, Zurnzal can attempt a desperate assassination to silence a witness and negate a strike against the party; he can only do this once, and it can only prevent the last strike that would call the guards. In order to negate this strike, Zurnzal must succeed at a DC 20 Stealth check.

Gael’s Revenge Poison: Zurnzal can safely apply this contact poison (save Fort DC 18; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d3 Dex; cure 2 saves) to his glove or boot as a standard action and deliver it with an unarmed strike.

Improved Dirty Trick: Zurnzal does not provoke an attack of opportunity when using the dirty trick combat maneuver. He gains a +2 bonus on combat maneuver checks to perform dirty tricks and to CMD to defend against them.

Knockout Strike(Ex) Used: Once per day Zurnzal can attempt a one-hit knockout, declaring his attempt before rolling his unarmed attack roll. If he hits and deals damage, the target must succeed at a DC 18 Fortitude save or fall unconscious for 1d6 rounds. The target receives a new save each round to wake up. This ability doesn’t work if the target is immune to critical hits or nonlethal damage.

Martial Flexibility (Ex): Zurnzal can spend a move action to gain any two combat feats he doesn’t possess, as long as he meets the prerequisites, or he can spend a swift action to gain any one combat feat. He keeps the feat for 1 minute. If he uses the ability again before that time, he loses all the feats from the previous use. If the feat has a daily limit and he picks it more than once, it doesn’t reset the limit. Good choices include Greater Trip or Power Attack.

Martial Training (Ex): Zurnzal counts his brawler levels as both fighter levels and monk levels for the purpose of qualifying for combat feats.

Quick Runner’s Shirt: Once per day as a swift action, Zurnzal can activate this shirt to take an additional move action to move and then immediately end his turn, losing any unspent actions.

Sandals of Quick Reaction: When Zurnzal acts on the surprise round, he can take both a standard and a move action.

Although some half-orcs born in Lastwall find acceptance, many green-skinned children raised in that border nation wither under the accusing gazes of warrior families that have lost loved ones to the orc hordes. Zurnzal grew up burdened by his neighbors’ assumptions, who often assumed he might yet become a feral beast, despite his gentle heart and service to the community. Even after leaving Lastwall, he has always strived to measure up to his old neighbors’ impossible standards. However, over the years his noble goal has twisted into barely controlled anger.

He first drew the Aspis Consortium’s attention while working the dangerous Umbral Basis caravan circuit between Molthune and Nidal, where he distinguished himself as a powerful combatant. The consortium seemed like an idea way to get ahead
in life and away from Lastwall, but the half-orc quickly realized that he was as typecast there as anywhere. Most bronze agents simply saw him as another orc-blooded brute to be unleashed at the enemy like an attack dog. Only Madreki Gael—an agent who later joined a faction called the Korholm Agenda—saw the half-orc as anything more than hired muscle, and he began grooming Zurnzal for full Aspis membership.

The half-orc distinguished himself during a raid on the Pathfinders’ Grand Lodge, earned his bronze badge, and traveled to Nirmathas to help his patron further. However, the Society was quick to follow and disrupt Madreki’s schemes. Furthermore, the Aspis Consortium deemed the Korholm Agenda traitors, including Zurnzal. Rather than hope for leniency, Zurnzal found it more profitable to betray Madreki Gael and traded intelligence of his patron in exchange for an official pardon. While the half-orc’s career still suffered a setback, he trusts that by accepting a dangerous mission he can regain the Consortium’s full trust.
