Ajerviskanis nods to Straehan and steps back out the door, moving to the front of the house.
Again, he begins to mutter in a strange language, his eyes roll back in his head, and he pushes his hands out in front of him.

Ajerviskanis leaps to his feat, and wielding his short staff, moves to one to the hellknight attacking Straehan. He mutters a strage word, and points at the knight.
Ajerviskanis will likely be at meditation outside as well, in the morning.
"Such beasts care only for food and inflicting pain, I say. The oldest motives are the easiest to discern, yes?
"What happened to you, little one?" Ajerviskanis asks Figit. "Your friend Walthus was beset by monsters. Were you as well?"
Ajerviskanis watches and listens to the unfolding scene with an obvious surprise and interest. "This swamp is proving so much more interesting than I was led to believe it would be."
"What, by many faces and names of Irori was THAT?" Ajerviskanis blatantly blurts at Sumisu. "So many mysteries about what ladies keep under their robes, now so mild compared to what lurks under yours!"
Ajerviskanis swats away the attack, and returns a half-hearted counter-attack.
"Hmph." Ajerviskanis drops into a defensive stance , his walking stick out in front of him. "Those that would hide behind the faces of the helpless are they themselves helpless. Fear them not!" he intones in a strong voice. "All cowards are powerless in the face of true strength and true purpose!"
"I would hazard that they have a somewhat deleterious effect on the local economy, actually."
"Your caution is admirable. I agree. Our scaly friend here will be no threat if we avoid threatening him, yes?" He taps his walking stick on the ground twice as emphasis.
"Perhaps this one has? Or knows where they found them."
"Nevermind the fireworks they seem to be enjoying so much lately, yes?" Ajerviskanis will examine the odd tube contraption whenever he gets an opporunity.
Ajerviskanis watched and listened to the sudden and brief burst of violence. When the commotion dies down, he moves among the group, nodding accordingly. "Most capable, I see." He stands by Ikshvaku and taps his shoulders and his foot with his stick in turn. "I think, perhaps, being more reactive may have kept you from being thus harmed, yes? The patience of Suyuddha again proves worthwhile." He grabs the man's forearm, and mutters under his breath. A surge of healing energy flows into the wound, and he smiles "We live only so that we might learn."
Ajerviskanis puts a hand on Braydon's shoulder. "You are in excellent company. You are young and capable and carrying a powerful and terrible gift. You are ready, young one. Let us be on our way, and follows what paths fate lays before us."
Ajerviskanis smiles at Kayosin. "While my sight may not be what it was, my hearing has not suffered a bit. Worry not after me. Blind luck alone won't carry one all the way here from far Vudra, yes?" Ajerviskanis taps Kayosin's nose once with his walking stick and cackles at his own joke.
profession: wine snob. that's gold Stuck on smugglers shiv with nothing but a sour vintage of merlot and coconut grog must be torturous. I have a character I've been trying to get into a game that's an Mind chemist archetype with many levels in brewing. He makes craft beer that gives people hallucinations. He is obsessed with unlocking the part of the mind that opens one up to prophecy. Through beer.
Ajerviskanis follows along, commenting to no one in particular. "Such wondrous and outlandish companions I find myself joined with. A man with a most amazing and apparently sentient hat! One soul, spread over two bodies, a spirit warrior, a chef of some violent renown, a magically gifted carpenter, and one of my fellow countrymen. In all my years I'v rarely been so blessed with such fascinating company!"
Ajerviskanis squints at the Sumisu for a long moment. "That is a spectacular hat, my diminutive friend."
Hanbo sounds perfect. Changes have been made as follows: Archetype Wanderer dropped. Feats changed to Improved Disarm and Catch off Guard.
Will drop the Wanderer Archetype, losing survival as a class skill. Dropping combat expertise as a feat and taking Catch off guard. Also taking Improved Disarm as the gained feat for 1st level as a monk. Where is the information for the hanbo book-wise? There's only a brief description in the adventurer's armory.
would you permit me to make a few slight changes to ajerviskanis? I may drop the Wanderer Archetype, and make a slight adjustment to his feats. Also, What dmg would you think is suitable for his walking stick as an improvised weapon?
Ajerviskanis' eyes move to Ahshvaku and he grins. "I certainly have no interest in being on the unpleasant end of goblin knives. And while I may be old, blind, and dashingly handsome, I am also well-versed in self-defense, young friend. I could teach you a thing or two as well."
Ajerviskanis thinks for a long moment, and then speaks: "I am simply here to help wherever I can. I'll try not to get in the way of such capable folk." He settles his old bones against a wall, and heaves a comfortable sigh. His faded eyes move around the room, though it is unclear what they are following.
Ajerviskanis signs his name in common, and pauses a moment, considering Ikshvaku's additional signature. He then signs his name in Vudran as well.
The old man claps his hands together and nods. "It is the burden of the old to guide the young when they are so willing to run off and fight and die, yes? I will happily join, my young friend."
Ajerviskanis leans back in his stool and lets out a long whistle as the cat enters. "Of all the wonders in all the worlds. It is nice to still be surprised by such amazing creatures." He pauses a moment to pull at his beard. "It is friendly, yes?"
The old man lets out a surprisingly loud and hearty laugh. "Ajerviskanis, friend. Many miles from home and I still find my people. It is always a joy. Sayuddha's wisdoms would prove most beneficial to some, yes?" He nods toward Hosk and smiles.
Ah now I see.
Wondeirng what you two are using for your background information on Vudra. Sri Kamath is some traditional hindi greeting?
all vudrani. all the time.
A rickety-looking old Vudrani sits at the bar, sipping at water and chatting amicably with Ameiko in halting Tien. His face is weathered, and darkened by years in the sun. His long white hair tied back in a knot, his beard braided together as well. His clothes are well-kept, and very simple. He nods sympathetically at Hosk's grievances. "Perhaps the Sheriff is not keen to send his men charging blindly into the swamp to their deaths, yes? Haste and hurry undercut the efforts of the patient, and bogs are not a welcoming place. Especially those home to goblins of unknown numbers with blades of eager sharpness." "A solution will present itself, have patience and faith."
gravity. It's a harsh mistress.
Ajerviskanis is something of an ascetic, so his money is generally given away. So he is ready to go.
I've completed the alias and backstory for Ajerviskanis. Sorry for the delay. Please let me know if there are any issues. I think I got it right this time, and thanks all for the help.
Here's the profile for what used to be Nob. Background has been expanded on, etc. Still need to add complete spell information. |
