Heroic Action

Heroic Action – When a character wants to do something out of the ordinary, such as tackle their opponent, they must succeed at a Heroic Action. A Heroic Action is a player vs. Game Master roll: each rolls a d20 and adds the appropriate ability modifier (for a roll against the environment the GM decides the Difficulty Class and the player rolls against that DC). The highest roll wins. Heroic actions can be used for any non-combat actions that would be contested by another creature.

Hezrou

A large creature whose heads seems to be part of its massive chest, opens a wide fang filled mouth. Massive, thick arms drape to the ground, sharp black claws grow out of all three digits on each hand.

It stands 9 feet tall and weighs about 800lbs.

Nausea

The noxious vapors and foul fluids that constantly weep and seethe from a hezrou’s body are particularly heinous to those the creature grapples. Each round a creature is grappled by a hezrou, the grappled foe must make a DC 24 Fortitude save to avoid becoming nauseated. A creature nauseated in this manner remains nauseated until he succeeds on a DC 24 Fortitude save, or until a minute has passed during which he is not grappled by the hezrou, whichever condition comes first.

Great Cleave

If a hezrou deals a creature enough damage to make it Disabled (typically by dropping it to below zero hit points or killing it), it gets an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within reach. As long as a creature is left Disabled after each attack, the Hezrou gets another melee attack to another creature.

Power Attack

The Herzou, before making attack rolls for a round, may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed +10. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until its next turn.

High Administrator Toff

Aldaria Toff is the high administrator and accountant for the Merchant Guild. She has authority to interview prospective mercenaries or adventurers who respond to their offer.

Description

Toff is a middle-aged woman with brown skin, dark hair and even darker eyes. She wears a dress that looks like it is formed of one continuous colorful bolt of cloth, wound around her body. If stats are needed, use ”Townsperson – Human Commoner 2” listed in the NPC Gallery.

Background

Toff moved here from the East decades ago and has earned her respected position as high administrator and accountant for the Ferryport Merchant Guild, composed of the nine major merchant houses.

Motivations

Toff is a very lawful individual. Though she has not learned of Glycyn’s involvement in the ship disappearances, if she hears of it, she will not hesitate to report him to the guild. The well being of the guild as a whole is her main concern, and she will not turn a blind eye to unlawful activity by any guild members or houses. That being said, she will generally recommend that matters be taken care of internally, rather than involve the law. To her, guild law is a higher law than that of whatever ruler may be sitting on a throne at any given time.
