She then looked to @Skanni and gave the half-elf a deep bow of her head in recognition of her actions during the battle.

Tribe of One Okay, powers are updated. It looks like Dispel is a Novice power (maybe that was an update to the latest version of SWADE?

The only issue I see is with Powers. In the first list of Powers (under Arcane Background) you have Arcane Protection listed, but under the second list (under Special Abilities --> Psionics) you have Dispel. The other issue is that you have several powers (Object Reading, Telekinesis, and potential...
Rowli moved in for the kill. After weeks of trudging through the wilds, fighting through ambushes and enduring every hardship she could imagine, her little family was finally close to the end of its mission. She left a trail of goblin corpses behind her, bloody markers of her inexorable path forward...
"I find it patently unfair that she can just fly whenever she wants to," Rowli chimes in from the driver's seat with a cheerful grin. "I knew magicky types back home, but I don't think none of them could fly."

Kharis gives a nod to the young warrior glaring back at him. It's respectful, but he understands; he grew up in a warrior culture, and the youth will take this loss personally. It is to be expected. In truth, Kharis had expected the bout to be much more difficult, especially without the aid of magic...
Done stripping down, Kharis gingerly places the last piece of his Battler Armor to the ground and gives a signal that he is read. When the unnamed warrior moves, Kharis immediately notices a flaw in the fighter's footwork and takes advantage, shooting the leg and getting his arms locked almost as fa...
Kharis gives a slight bow of the head and removes his helmet, a clear sign of his intention to parlay. Seeing no reason to try and derail Rolani 's tactic, Kharis joins in. "If ever there was a time for warriors, it's now. Though perhaps only your best and bravest; this particular demon is best...
"Yeah, seems like parlay may be the best option, but we're going to want to keep these guys as far away from the Coalition troops as possible, at least for now. If the two of you want to try to make contact with these Gromek, I can hang back and let a couple of those Dog Boy scouts "catch...
Kharis nods to Cantrell , but he’s a little too slow; by the time he’s started moving, Rolani has already jumped in to help and the fire is smoldering nicely.

Being of elvish descent, Kharis is not unfamiliar with tales of the fae, so he is unsurprised when @Sa’Maku sends Grandma's servant away with the food. Even so, he raises an eyebrow at his friend. "You know something about our friend, Sa?"
Kharis mindlessly twirls the dragon-bane knife he always seems to have with him as they talk. "I haven't fought a dragon in a long, long time. This mission could end up being even more profitable than anticipated, if she is a dragon in disguise." Nothing like dragon-slaying to improve an e...

Background
Kharis is from the frozen Eternal Forest region of the world of Va’ronar. He is a member of the Helka Ohtar, an elite cadre of warriors, and he was selected for service off planet, where he will travel the stars and (hopefully) strengthen the Va’roni reputation for martial prowess.
She sighed. "Welp. Next time." "So we're definitely selling this thing to Castruccio then?" Kharis gives a nod. "We told our buyer we'd have the thing for him, and now we have it. Seems the only real course forward is to hold up our end of the bargain. It wouldn't do for pe...

When Kharis hears that he is not invited, he lets out a haughty sounding “hoomph.” ”I’ve given my word that I will offer no violence to you or your prince, warrior.

With a little bit of downtime, Kharis does what comes naturally: he spars, with whomever is willing. He starts with Sa’Maku , given their history, and asks, "So, this rock creature we defeated in "paradise." Tell me of him. How did he harm your honor?" He will at least make the o...

Kharis goes with @Lady Arsenal Boss and does what he can to cultivate an air of barely-interested aloofness. He finds being of elvish descent very helpful in these types of situations.
Between notes, Kharis sends to the team, Keep it down inside my head! Trying to sing, here! He keeps his grin plastered to his face and his feet quick, trying not to be too distracted by the new chatter in his brain.

Kharis observes the goings on of his new team with some amusement. They all act competent enough, he thinks. "Well," he says, "I'm afraid I'm not much help in planning space travel. But I have been to a party or two in my day. Granted, a lot of them involved swords, but even so. Maybe...
