Personality: Barhuce is somewhat jumpy as a result of his capture by the technic league. He also has some pretty severe trust issues due to that experience. He has a tendency to be quiet in social situations, but almost babble in professional or arcane settings.

Backstory: When Barhuce was young and just beginning his training as an apprentice alchemist in Starfall, one of the other apprentices, jealous of him, reported him to the Technic League for anti-league sentiment and fermenting dissent. While none of that was true, Barhuce was disappeared for a while. While in captivity, he was questioned extensively by gearsman inquisitors and developed a hatred for the Technic League that is focused almost entirely on their robotic servitors. The various substances used during the interrogation, combined with the water contamination endemic to Numeria also left him with thick skin and cartilage deposits and a slight allergy to healing magics. Eventually, the League convinced themselves he was innocent of everything more than being a better apprentice than one of his fellows and they, perhaps foolishly, release him.    He continued his studies in alchemy, now focusing on the Osirian branch of alchemy that has proven more effective against constructs and undead - the better to break robots. He also began fermenting rebellion due to anti-league sentiment, but very, very quietly. After some time spent looking for a place he can settle in as an alchemist, he decided he needed some further training. He is currently travelling to Torch to see if he can study under Khonnir Baine and has made arrangements to meet some of Khonnir's colleagues in Hajoth Hakados.

Barhuce

Barhuce shrugs at T'sarra's question. "I don't know. A black grave? A wheelbarrow made of ebony? A secret organization of necromancers?"

---

"A guard rotation for the night sounds like a good idea. The groupings work for me."

Updated.

Story-wise:

Interesting story.  Potentially some leads there to follow up.

 

Mechanics-wise:

• I assume I'm seeing max d8 + con mod (+1) = 9 HP, and 4 + int mod (+4) + background (2) + skilled (1) = 11 for skill ranks?  I the FCB on here, but not on the character sheet.
• We're on the slow advancement track for this campaign, so next level will not be at 2000.

Edited January 12, 2023 by iantruesilver (see edit history)

[Inash]

Correct on the skill and HP. I'll put the FCB on the sheet as well. Sorry I missed that. I forgot the slow track. I'll have to see if there is a switch for that since the sheet puts the next level in automagically.

[iantruesilver]

Please do me a favor and itemize Barhuce's equipment purchases for me?  I'm having some trouble figuring it all out.

[Inash]

120 gp starting funds

Lamellar Curiass 15 gp

light mace 5 gp

Dagger 2 gp

Explorer's outfit Free

Formula Book Free

Alchemist's Kit 40gp  (abandoning the common backpack for weight)

Masterwork Backpack 50 gp

The alchemist's kit contains everything with a - next to it in his inventory

 

Spent: 112

Remaining 8 gp

WTF did I do on that sheet? (looks like I messed up the price on something somewhere origionally.)

Edited January 18, 2023 by Inash (see edit history)

[iantruesilver]

I’m guessing it’s the masterwork backpack that confused me perhaps. Alchemist’s Kit includes a common backpack.

[Inash]

Oh. Yes. I missed that when I went back over things. Yes. That is the 50 gp spend, and he needs it or he can't carry all his stuff. The common backpack was probably just dropped somewhere. I'll edit above.

[Wiz]

Or take 2 gp of the kit you took which had a normal backpack. 🙂
