Harmel Artru (NE hm Ftr9/T7: Dex 17, Cha 16): a darkly handsome, agile, glib-tongued and lady-charming merchant seacaptain (and sometime pirate), who sails The Winsome Lady independent caravel out of Saerloon (and a secret base somewhere in the Pirate Isles).

That was Ed's description.

Apologies for shaking the dust off this scroll, but I found this additional information about Harmel Artru down an Internet rabbit hole (thanks to an old link in the New Theory on Dawn Cataclysm thread), and thought it worthy of attention:

Hi, Diego! If expecting trouble, Harmel usually wears light fighting leathers (leather armor that includes magical bracers that improve his armor class), plus a metal codpiece and a metal buckler (very small circular metal shield with a sharpened edge all around, that he’s adept at throwing [like a Frisbee]).

He has daggers sheathed on the insides of both boots (outer surfaces of his legs) and up both sleeves, on the insides of his forearms, and primarily fights with a longsword he carries scabbarded across his back (“swings” on a baldric for easy drawing).

His fighting style can best be described as “dancing, leaping acrobatic;” he seldom stands in one place for long, and is always turning so his peripheral vision can take in who might be approaching from behind/below/above him. He’s an expert at throwing his daggers, and at “kicking up into the air” chairs and other handy items he can use to trip, trammel, or or confuse opponents, and to deflect attacks coming at him.

He is lightning fast, has very good balance, and is always calm in battle, thinking ahead and anticipating consequences.


Harmel's information was posted by The Masked Mage, above, but can be found originally in Ed's 2006 scroll, in a 23 Jan 2006 post by The Hooded One.
