Background:
So, you want to know about Alexos Virden eh? Well, there is both not much to tell and too much to say about this Elven monk. To keep this brief, we will only give the highlights. Alexos was born in the Elven kingdom of Kyonin. He was the second of three siblings, in between his older brother Irean and his younger sister Eiyea. He was not always known by the surname “Virden”, but refuses to tell anyone what his original familial name was. When he was twelve, his older brother died leading an assault on a neighboring orcish warband. Eight years later he was banished from the kingdom for a crime that he claims to be innocent of committing. (In truth it was his sister who committed the crime and pinned it on him... along with an arrow when he was close to finding evidence to prove it.) He will not go into its details, however, and he tries to cover the tattoo marking him as an outcast with a cloth over his forehead (the tattoo is a green one in the shape of a descending bird that glows as he gets closer to the borders of the kingdom). Since then he travelled to far off lands of Tian Xia (specifically Xa Hoi) where he learned the arts of combat, dance, and acrobatics at one of the monasteries there. He has since returned to Golarian in hopes of joining the Pathfinder Society, where he hopes to chronicle history as it happens... and perhaps find some path back to his home. On his first assignment, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge, he was stabbed with a rapier attempting to return items back to the Lodge within Absalom itself. The lessons he learned were never to adventure without a ranged weapon and never to charge into combat headlong. He has since switched factions to the Silver Crusade, whom he met in the course of that adventure. His second assignment was his commencement mission, where he explored the caves on the island of Kortos. There he and his companions found ancient ruins of Aroden, with waters pure enough to attract the local gilmen to contemplate them. Along the way they were forced to confront and defeat a minotaur, whose horn Alexos since had made into a drinking horn. He then was sent forth to respond to the request of the Pharasminian Priests at Godsmouth Cathedral to clear the previously sealed Ossuary below. Further storage for new bodies was needed, and the priests were forbidden from venturing further below themselves. Furthermore, bodies had begun disappearing from the catecombs above and were suspected of being brought further down below. After two days of exploring the Thassilonian ruins below the cathedral, the bodies were recovered and the alchemist causing their animation was dealt with. The rest of the Ossuary was cleared sucessfully.
Previous PFS Boons:
Explore, Report, Cooperate: You have an excellent sense of what makes an exemplary Pathinder. As a free or immediate action, you may consider whether a particular action you name—such as subduing but not killing an enemy, befriending an NPC, or recovering a particular item—would help realize the goals of the Pathinder Society. The GM then informs you whether the action’s impact would be positive (contributes to meeting a secondary success condition for the scenario), negative (opposes the secondary success condition), or negligible (neither contributes to nor opposes the secondary success condition). If none of these three options accurately relects the action’s impact on the PC’s fulillment of the secondary success conditions, the GM may respond with a phrase of five words or less. Once you use this boon, cross it of your Chronicle sheet. Friend of Janira Gavix: The field agent who oversaw your Conirmation is appreciative of your bravery and camaraderie in the face of danger. She helps you perform research, granting you a +1 bonus on Knowledge checks attempted while you are in the Grand Lodge. Pharasma’s Blessing: Pharasma blesses you for your service to the Godsmouth Cathedral. You may reroll any single attack roll targeting an undead creature or any single saving throw against an undead creature’s ability or effect, always taking the result of the second roll. You must make this reroll before the results of the first roll are known. If Pharasma is your patron deity, you receive a +4 bonus on your reroll. Once this ability has been used, cross it off the Chronicle. |
