Sneak Attack: Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an Attack if you have advantage on the Attack roll. The Attack must use a Finesse or a ranged weapon. You don't need advantage on the Attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't Incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the Attack roll. [dice=Sneak attack]1d6[/dice] Thieves Cant: During your rogue Training you learned thieves' cant, a Secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a Message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of Secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a Safe House for thieves on the run. Lucky: When you roll a 1 on The D20 for an Attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. Brave: You have advantage on Saving Throws against being Frightened. Halfling Nimbleness: You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours.
Hardship: Leave none behind. I was able save the first mate of Destiny's Tide, Ulvic Icewater, as I dragged his unconscious body onto a makeshift raft after our ship was overtaken by pirates. We sailed for miles in the open seas to avoid capture and death before being rescued. Bond

Her story:
_________________________________________________ APPEARANCE ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Tessa Tanglerope stands just at 3 and a half feet. While she is rather short she is quite able when she needs to be heard or seen. Dressed in a standard uniform of leather breeches and a short sleeved leather jacket with the Keoland heraldic symbol of the lion stitched on the upper left shoulder. Under her leather jacket she wears a fitted pristine white colarless blouse with buttoned sleeves that end at her elbows. She carries two sheathed short blades on her right side and out of plain sight strapped to her back are two daggers – one holding great sentimental as it belonged to her mentor and old friend Zairn Blacktoe whose sacrifice bought her freedom. Her sun kissed complexion marries well with the crimson dyed short cropped haircut that she is constantly maintaining. While her hairstyle often causes someone to mistake her for having a fiery temperament she is actually very cerebeal and not one that lets her emotions get the best of her. She can often be seen studying a crowd whether from a shadowy corner or right in the middle of it depending on what the situation calls for. While early in her life she was prone to outbursts and charging into a situation that naivete and immaturity ended the day she stopped being Talya Tanglevine. In her younger days before becoming joining up with the Keoish navy she found herself wanting more out of life. She had been born the fourth child of six siblings expected to live out her life in a small village just outside of Greyhawk. She waited her time amassing a paltry amount of coins - which was a fortune to her at the time - and upon her seventeenth name day wrote a curt letter to her siblings and a nicer one to her mother and father indicating that she was going to make a name for herself. _________________________________________________
Looking to rid herself of her current predicament she did so by the only means she knew available, gambling. Borrowing from a legitimate lender she soon found herself with no money to pay back the loan. This resulted with the lender pressing Tayla into service upon the Destiny's Tide. She would serve upon this vessel for two years as a cooking steward until it was attacked at sea by pirates. Tayla would escape along with the first mate, but her friend Zairn would die saving her and the First mate. Somehow, Tayla was able to keep herself and the First mate alive long enough to be rescued and returned to Gradsul. As a reward she was freed from her contract, but instead of returning home Tayla took to joining the Royal navy. In doing so she created a new identity for herself, Tessa Tanglerope. |
