Chetney Pock O'Pea

 is a gnomish woodcarver rogue. He is played by Travis Willingham.

Appearance
Chetney is an elderly gnome who appears to be "a hundred-and-something" years old. He stands about 3 foot 4 inches and has well-muscled arms. Tufts of silvery-grey hair sprout from and over his ears from under a knitted cap with ear straps pulled down tight on his head. He wears a leather chest harness, pointy-toed boots, and woodworking tools around his waist.

Personality
Chetney does not seem to be brave. Just before he met the party, he watched them fight the spitting mimic, but stayed in hiding as they fought it, and was horrified by the damage it caused.

Behind the scenes


Chetney was conceived as a "true, legit" take on the character Chutney Chocolatecane, a Christmas elf Travis played in and in Narrative Telephone ' s "Chutney's Christmas Vacation"; Campaign Three and the Critical Role special do not share continuity, and the gnome Chetney is distinct from the Christmas elf Chutney. Chetney bears similar facial scars to his Christmas elf counterpart, and his knit cap may allude to Chutney's Christmas hat; similarly, both are armed with a weaponized wood chisel. Snowflakes are depicted in the animation on Chetney's stat card, a nod to his inspiration.

Travis had wanted Chetney to join the party a little later in the story, so Chetney was not introduced until toward the end of. Instead, Travis played Bertrand Bell (a returning character) until and was absent from the table until Chetney's introduction.

Trivia

 * The animation on his stat card is of falling snow.
 * Chetney is one of two members of the Campaign Three adventuring party with darkvision. Because Laudna acquired it magically through her sorcerer subclass, he is the only one who has darkvision naturally.
