~ Winds Of Fate - A Thief's Adventure ~ (1.0)

Nice pic of the tavern @Jarl Coolgruuf. Very fitting. I'm getting ready to read your post as well as @Finris's post as well after I get some coffee in me. I'll probably throw another post up by this evening too.

The Saltaire District

@Random Kitty I think I am going to go for a spot in the Iron Saints as a mercenary for hire. That's why I'm there. Money for blood. And I doubt there's any shortage of that kind of work going on. Not sure about background but it could be a possible reasoning as to why they are both in the area. I kind of want her to be a bit of a stranger to people in the area. I'll have to rework her background a bit.

The Saltaire District

Awesome, thanks @Lord Orgasmo. I will probably shift her background around a bit to make the change, but everything else will remain the same.

The Saltaire District

@Random Kitty Keep talking like that and maybe.. She is fond of duvets..

The Saltaire District

@Random KittyHmm.. not sure how she'd feel about being undead.. she might not like that idea. to lay as the dead means you have a cold bed. She's kinda floosy so she's not big on cold feet..

The Saltaire District

@Lord Orgasmo Are the Iron Saints off limits? as in a guild possibility? She's a duelist so it'd fit her well. Possibly a representative for the city?

The Saltaire District

@Random Kitty Are you kidding? She loves a rich environment full of fat pockets. And she's almost on her back as often as she is getting into duels.
