[@rush99999] Harry the Thug will gain +5% XP due to his aptitude as an Assassin from his Prime stats. He gains the Proficiency [Animal Training (Dogs)] A few notes about assassins: [indent]•Harry can wear any armour, but when wearing leather armor or lighter garb, he may [b]move silently[/b], [b]hide in shadows[/b], and [b]backstab[/b] as a thief of the same level. •Harry the Thug can [b]backstab[/b] for 2x damage.[/indent] Harry the Thug watches as Dyan picks his companions and considers his options. Cynthia will be picking her hirelings next, and by then it will be unlikely there will be many people left in the village to pick from today. Harry knows two other village adventurers headed northeast to Old Fort earlier on. There may be more Hirelings available in Old Fort, but they will be less likely to lower their prices for you unlike your friends in the village. Sooner or later more people will turn up in the Village, but that's weeks away. [center]Set off to Old Fort or wait your turn to pick hirelings (or do something else)?[/center]
