This vengeance-driven martial artist sports an unusual prosthetic arm, forged of radiant blue mithril. She is an unusual sight in the streets of the city, but her fighting prowess is clearly unhindered by her injury.
Those who pry into the background of the Cerulean Fist may recognize her from the monastery out of town which burned down a few years ago, the House of Resolutions, and with (it was thought) no survivors. She speaks little, especially about herself, but skilled crafters might catch a glimpse of a three-leaf maker's mark stamped into the underside of her arm, the sure sign of work by the Elven master-smith Thrithrarian. She has asked several times about the location of the warlord Tsabka, perhaps her quest has something to do with him. For now, the monk termed "The Cerulean Fist" seems to be performing work-for-hire as a mercenary bodyguard, and gathering influence. Statistics: The Cerulean Fist is an 8th-level Lawful Neutral monk, sworn to hunt down and slay the warlord Tsabka, who killed her master. She bears a mithril arm, granting her a +2 Strength and Dexterity bonus on attacks made with that arm, a +2 natural armour bonus, and functioning as a +2 natural weapon when used. How you can use the Cerulean Fist in your game: - A Player Character who is (or wants to become) a Monk might have come to this city in order to seek out the House of Resolutions, and been disappointed to find the monastery burned down and all its members dead. Finding the Cerulean Fist still performing in Resolutia style may mean they could still learn this ancient art. - The PCs might find themselves hired on to a job with (or even against) the Cerulean Fist. Although she is tough, she is fair, and will not harm anyone past the point she needs to. She bears no ill will against those who extend her the same courtesy, and will courteously buy them a drink next time she spies them in a bar. - If the PCs have contacted the Cerulean Fist previously and established some kind of friendly relationship, she might ask them for assistance when the warlord Tsabka rolls into town with his soldiers. She wishes for vengeance on him, since he slew her master and stole their sacred scrolls of martial technique, as well as cutting her arm off and hurling her from the mountainside.
