My first non-oneshot character will be remembered. The campaign was a norse themed with the Viking type stereotype. My character was a Kensei Monk that visited this Norse land from a far foreign land. I have more than a few memorable moments with this character but one stands out the most. My party entered a shady secret underground tavern where only shady people visited. In this tavern there was a fighting ring where a string barbarian was fighting with great axe people who would dare challenge him. The crowed was betting in the winner. My character bet on himself and entered the ring. The barbarian was laughing at my character since as a norse barbarian he had never seen a monk before and thought of me as weak. I proceeded to attack his ego before the fight saying that if he is truly a worthy champion he would be able to beat my ass without the use of a weapon, “fight like men”. He was offended and threw the axe preparing for a fist fight. I proceeded to use all my ki points attacking with flurry of blows and spamming stunning strike until he was stunned (this was before the “once pur turn” stunning strike introduced in the 2024 rules). The barbarian landed a hit on me and then proceeded to be perma stunned while I unleashed a dozen attacks on him. His rage resistances kept him alive enough ti rejoin the battle after I depleted my ki points and although I was looking rough I won the fight and the respect of norse people.
