Almost all random number generators have some sort of bias. If it's doing that well after this many rolls, I think we're not too bad off.

Fluff of the Statblock

Solace was taught the mixed eastern styles of combat from Sunaki (Monk stuff in general, Tien), her Tian-Min godfather, as well as her father's brutal Chelaxian pugilism (Bleeding Attack). However, while she keenly learned the form of Sunaki's martial arts, and began developing her own combination of martial arts, her mother's teachings, with her father's techniques (Kirin Style), her pride and anger prevented her from learning the true art of the monk's ways (Low Wis on a monk).

In her youth, before the events precipitating her training by Sunaki and her father's death, her intelligence was her most prominent factor. Her mother, Luminita, attempted to train Solace to be a wizard and scholar, much like herself(Magical Knack and Metamagic Master as well as vast array of Knowledge skills, spellcraft, and Solace's other bonus languages). Solace has not forgotten these lessons despite her hesitation to use them, wishing to use primarily her father's techniques to take vengeance for him.

And here is the stuff for fellow players, things they would likely know if they keep an eye about the prison/chain gang.

Immediate Background, Apparent Personality, and Appearance

Background: On a path of bloody vengeance for her father, Solace has left a trail of several bodies in her search for her father's killers. She was arrested for the murders of several lowlifes, who, while scum, did not deserve death in the eyes of the law.

Apparent Personality: In prison, she has demonstrated her overwhelming pride and anger. She is aggressive and easily falls for taunts. With little patience, it is easy to push her buttons. One just has to make sure you can survive her "witty" rebuke.

Appearance: Appearing at first glance as a fit young Varisian of little deviation from the standard, bronze skin and lithe skin with long straight black hair. However, upon closer examination, she shares the piercing small dark eyes, thin arched eyebrows, and sharp nose of her Chelaxian blood. Her body also goes past the nicely taught but still soft appearance often preferred by men of their women and into sharply defined muscles of a harshly strong fighter. She also holds the appearance of someone who hasn't quite learned how to duck but doesn't quite care, bearing several fresh scars in her flesh, one on her brow, another two in her gut, and one on her upper left arm, in addition to an array of old scars and callouses on her hands.

Background/Goals/Enemies for GM eyes only. Shame on you.

Long poetic story that I still intend to write up short, her father was a hero, rescuing the town, getting the girl, having a daughter. Then, in his old age, he was killed by the associates of the people he beat that first time, in public view. The people were too afraid to help. That broke Merilia Kasumi Wardroxan quite a bit. She came to hate the people who refused to stand up and fight. She no longer cares about people or the consequences of her actions, and in her rage, she'll kill to get her way. Though her Godfather Sunaki tried to train her to calm her rage, she did not wish to live in peaceful meditation as he taught her, and became "Solace" to wreak her vengeance on her father's killers.

Universal Goal:
Avenge her father, preferably with his martial style.

I'll only pick one of the below goals, retroactively based on what will make the best story.

If all the other players are too tame and we need some grandiose objective..
Mastermind Goal:
Her anger is a guise that she uses to get her opponents to underestimate her, and "allies" are just opponents who don't know it yet. To get vengeance merely on the killers is far too plain. No. Their homelands should burn too. What "Family" she has left deserves to die, and all the rest of that traitorous village. Genocide has such a lovely ring to it.

If the party doesn't get along with my character and she just needs to go..
Redemption Goal:
Solace has done terrible things, but not yet unforgivable. A broken girl who finally realizes what she has done to her father's legacy after her death might well turn from the path of evil at her mother or godfather's call, and join them for one last stand against evil.

If the party needs an unobtrusive goal because there's too much going on..
Grand Stand Goal:
Solace's father was quite a showman. He didn't just defeat the villain, he did it with style to rally their hearts. Solace, however, has a slightly different touch. She'd love to be known worldwide as a dangerous martial artist and magician who defeats her foes with ineffable style. To make the best show, she needs an audience. What would happen, say, if she could kill some of Varisia's most legendary warriors, properly lit of course, atop the Ciphergate or something like that?

Enemies:
Sunaki: Her Godfather, a heroic monk-type, who would be quite displeased to hear of Solace's actions.
Luminita: Mother, a heroic wizard-type, likewise.
Whoever killed her father: I'm open to options, got any villain types you've been dying to use? Or shall I come up with some appropriately showy supervillain? :)

Sorry, wow, missed this for awhile. Hah, catching up now.

Oh, wow, sorry, missed that.

"The murderers died screaming,"

"Then ya made da right decision. Wanna know when ya made da wrong one?" The Champion, momentarily distracted by the conversation, was caught off guard and the grab landed, a fistful of the Champion's short curly hair being ensnared.

The throw failed, the Archdruid not expecting the Champion to have affixed them together with ice. But the first wild swing of the dagger nearly caught the Champion off guard, and only the ice armor he was summoning prevented the Champion's blood from spilling the ground. The second wild swing, the Champion was prepared for, and swung his free arm underneath the elbow, to lock the joint in a pose that resembled a half nelson, if one applied it too far down the arm. Normally, this would be silly and easily escaped, but it prevented further dagger attacks, and this gauntlet quickly began spreading ice over the Archdruid, doubling the rate of spreading. Presuming the Archdruid hadn't been expecting this and had some defense prepared, of course.

"Ya think we da first tribes ta live here, ya think we da last? Naah, man. Lots a'blood soaks dis ground. But dere's da truth of it. Da dead forget de blood. De blood goes away when they's nobody ta remember. But dat... thing, ya've allied with.. He don't let da dead forget. Da blood's not gonna go away. Da dead gonna keep rememberin' cause he want's em too. He wants da blood. He wants da whole world a'drownin. My people gonna die, just same'z yours, but I don't want da world to drown for dem. I 'xpect'd an archdruid'd now more bout da circle of life."

The Champion got early warning of the smog, feeling his mist pushed aside. Letting go of that spell, he sealed his armor over his mouth, and used his earlier trick of transmuting water into its component parts to make semi-breathable air, sending the hydrogen away while keeping some of the oxygen.

The mist around them would soon part, but it would last a little while without maintenance. But the Champion wouldn't be able to use his illusions again until he took up the the spell once more.

Soran would come upon a strange scene, to be sure.

.::Legend of Zelda :: Whispers in the Night::.

""Hiya! You know him?"

"Uh..."

"Are you the friend he mentioned?"

"Ah..."

"Who are you? Probably not the fairy, but you have to be someone, right?"

"Nar..." Veitaru found herself quite tongue-tied by the time Ekra finished, which, while short in duration was packed with questions.

As Veitaru blankly stared for a moment at Ekra, she seemed about to compose herself and respond, Veitaru was hit in the face by a falling rock. The one she herself had thrown a little too hard and off course when surprised by Ekra's approach.

It was a small rock, so Veitaru's reaction was simply to go.. "OW."

And then..

"The Hell're you?" Veitaru averted her eyes and hid herself behind a hand that she applied perhaps to rub the spot she had just hit herself in. She also took the opportunity to not so surreptitiously tug her hood down so it'd cover more of her. She didn't like the keen gaze of whatever the hell this was.

"Ack, wait, no! Don't answer. You'll do that thing again." Her eyes widened as she realized she had just asked Ekra to start talking again.

.::Legend of Zelda :: Whispers in the Night::.

Veitaru feels like Lethe is the only one who'll convince everyone to stay, so she's not bothering much with the small talk.

Dungeon Keepers

I will try to be more clear and precise in my wording for the future.

Dungeon Keepers

Alright, looks like we've figured things out, I'll post sometime soon.

I was imagining he had to maintain contact to continue spreading the ice. I feel like icing people over from range would make fights too much of a "Do I have more magic than you? If yes, insta-win. If no, insta-lose."
