Levi is a middle aged 5'5 Human with pale skin and salt and pepper slicked back hair. He has thin side burns that go below his ears that are mostly grey. He has a thin mustache as his only facial hair. He has a thin an angular face with high cheekbones and a pointed chin. His eyes are narrow and set deep under a prominent brow, giving him a somewhat intense and piercing gaze. He has a straight nose that is somewhat long, with a slight bump near the bridge. His lips are thin and well defined, with a slight upturn at the corners that gives him a mischievous or sly expression.

He has a slim build and he dresses in prominently black and white themes with a blood red overcloak. As you talk to him and spend time with him, he gives off both theatrical and macabre vibes...sometimes dark and dramatic.

If you spend any amount of time talking with him, you'll find that he has a somewhat over the top personality. A conversation with him will usually involve grand gestures, dramatic pauses, and exaggerated expressions. He speaks in a deep and resonant voice with a touch of mischief or sarcasm in his tones.

I've been at the temple a long time, have I ever heard of anything similar happening before? Whatever they did to sense the creature, have they ever been misled or wrong before?

We should probably get back right away, either we were mislead or they were mislead and either way we need to get back right away.

In fairness, if the pathfinder grappling rules were applied then we should allow the pathfinder grappling feats:

Grappling is way too polarizing, mostly because a character who is optimized to grapple won't fail grapples. It completely shuts down everything that isn't prepared with little effort. It heavily punishes heavy armor. The rules are also just not great, one of the biggest flaws in 3.5 was the grappling rules.

Pathfinder cleaned up the grappling a lot.

Here is the flowchart for pathfinder grappling.

CMB is:

I am good for Sunday the 12th

Cameo xp for Tarkin, Razk, and Scatch: 300

Everyone else gets 1300 xp.

Ash gets 500 bonus for dead elf.

Every else gets 400 xp bonus for lives saved.

Dead elf is dead!

Tyrogatore does not approve of desecration. Haas will not allow Ash to collect any trophies. In front of him.

Pretty confident Ash got his trophies before anyone got a chance to weigh in on the subject.
