<div class="floatleft">(http://i66.tinypic.com/2diegso.jpg)</div><br/>A night and morning without incident was just what Mia needed.  Yesterday had held a number of strange incidents, some of them unpleasant, some of them... well, nevermind.  Regardless, with enough money in her purse to last at least a few days, Mia found herself approaching the new day with a bit more optimism than she had recently.<br/><br/>The mixing of the herbs was already an almost meditative task.  Mia took her time, going through the motions leisurely, humming gently as she worked.  Her eyes were closed, a peaceful expression on her beautiful features.  Once she was satisfied with her work, she swallowed down the stronger of the two, and, pulling the sack over her head once more, slipped out of the inn.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Mia sighed.  In truth, she'd considered the issue.  But she hadn't had the time to take her robes to be repaired, and wasn't sure what she could best replace them with.  Or how much such a thing would cost.  She frowned delicately, considering the fine surroundings, and the superior guards.  Well, if they had a dress code, they could tell her, and she would abide by it.  In the meantime...<br/><br/>Well, the sack would have to go.  With a smooth gesture, Mia pulled it off, tucking it in her pouch.  As always, her robes left her shapely legs mostly bare, as well as a generous amount of her tight midriff now.  Her graceful hands moved quickly, making little adjustments, tugging here and there, adjusting her hair.  It wasn't much, but perhaps it would be enough.  Straightening, her expression becoming serene, Mia turned to wait for her potential employer's arrival.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Medicine roll 1: 16 https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=123494<br/>Medicine roll 2: 13 https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=123498<br/>Taking the 16<br/>Charisma check to look better: 15 https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=123500</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mia Lin</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Mia Lin<strong>[/size]<br/>Human Monk of the Four Elements<br/></strong></strong><hr/><strong>Armor Class</strong> 15<br/><strong>Hit Points</strong> 63/63<br/><strong>Ki Points</strong> 3/3<br/><strong>Speed</strong> 40 feet<br/><strong>Proficiency Bonus</strong> +2<br/><hr/><strong>Str</strong> 9 (-1) <strong>Dex</strong> 16 (+3) <strong>Con</strong> 14 (+2) <strong>Int</strong> 12 (+1) <strong>Wis</strong> 14 (+2) <strong>Cha</strong> 14 (+2)<br/><strong>Saves</strong> Strength, Dexterity<br/><strong>Trained Skills</strong> Acrobatics, Athletics, Medicine, Religion<br/><strong>Weapon Proficiencies</strong> Simple Weapons, Shortsword<br/><strong>Armor Proficiencies</strong> None!<br/><strong>Tool Proficiencies</strong> Herbalism Kit<br/><strong>Languages</strong> Common, Elven, Primordial<br/><hr/><strong>Abilities</strong><br/><strong><em>Unarmored Defense</em></strong> When wearing no armor or shield, AC = 10+Dex mod+Wis mod (already included)<br/><strong><em>Martial Arts</em></strong> Use Dex instead of Str for attack and damage rolls of unarmed strikes and monk weapons, and can use d4 for damage.  When you attack, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.<br/><strong><em>Hermit Feature: Discovery</em></strong> You have access to a unique and powerful discovery.  Needs GM discussion.<br/><strong><em>Deflect Missiles</em></strong> You man use your reaction to reduce damage from a ranged weapon attack by 1d10+dex mod+monk level.  If it is reduced to 0, you can catch it.  If you do so, you may spend 1 ki point to make a proficient ranged attack with it as part of the same reaction.<br/><strong><em>Monastic Tradition:  Way of the Four Elements</em></strong> Gain Elemental Attumentent, plus more as you level<br/><strong><em>Water Whip</em></strong> You can spend 2 ki points as a bonus action to create a whip of water that shoves and pulls a creature to unbalance it.
