Animate Silverware (Su) Mr. Chamomile fights by animating nearby tea utensils and silverware to strike his foes. He can make attack actions, full attacks, and attacks of opportunity using animated silverware with +1 enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls. This animated silverware counts as silver and magic.

Scalding Steam (Su) Mr. Chamomile can conjure a cloud of scalding steam as a swift action, filling a 20-ft. spread within 30 ft., 10-ft. high, that lasts for 1d4+1 rounds and deals 4d6 points of fire damage to each creature that starts their turn in its area, and partially obscuring vision, granting concealment to anyone within or behind the cloud.


Mr. Chamomile is a proprietor of an exotic tea-house, overseeing numerous baristas serving teas of all kinds, along carefully matched snacks. He is affable, invariably polite, exchanging in a small talk and a lot of gossip with his guests. He also engages in bulk trade of tea leaves, flavored teas, and other herbs suitable for brewing beverages (though not coffee, which he detests).

He also happens to be a devil, using his business and connections to gather information,  incriminating personal details, and trade secrets. He might be also involved in a smuggling ring, dealing in both contraband object and people, though if it is really so, he does it through so many clueless intermediaries, that it can't really be traced to him.
