Poor, poor Ch'p. Lucky in looting treasure rooms, unlucky in love.
Someone pointed out that Ch'p must be pretty loaded with all the loot that Ch'p dragged out of Borloth's keep. Something that you need to keep in mind: Ch'p grew up in a monastery where money was never used - the W'Shaa bartered for whatever they needed. Thus, Ch'p never had the same love of money that his half-brother, Day'l, developed and doesn't quite know how much things should cost, so when they stopped to buy supplies in the little podunk towns on the way to Val'Dhar, Ch'p kind of... overspent a bit.
It's kind of like that scene in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (known to non-Trek fans as "that one with the whales") where Kirk and Spock go hock the antique glasses that McCoy gave Kirk so they would have spending money in the 20th Century. The antique dealer offers Kirk $100 and Kirk responds with a brief blank stare and then asks "Is that a lot?" it's like that.
Next week, a banquet awaits! Take care, everybody!

I have been chastised,….lol. I forgot the crucial “Monk” element,..oh well,.. we all forget things,..lol. I just feel special that something I wrote not only elicited a response but an actual “full on blog post response” from our Esteemed Artist.
Anybody else wondering what kind of base stats a halfling/dwarf half breed would have? I mean, aside from the size, they’re at other ends of the stat spectrum.
@Thecoslar: I guess that would be called a “dwarfling”?
From the arched brow in the last panel, I suspect that the slip was not entirely lost on Becky either.
or a Halwarf…..
Actual, he may not be total hosed at all,
If she likes him, that kind of slip might just edhim with her (to her?).
Hmm, reminds me of the stats I came up with for a gnorf, a half-gnome, half dwarf. The crossbreed is actually different from both parents in one important respect. 3 inch retractable digging claws allow a burrow speed of 10 and count as undroppable daggers with a +1 to attack and damage for familiarity. They got the +2 to con and int from their parents, -2 to wis, cha, and dex (the retractable claws make the fingers very clumsy).
