[QUOTE="Jdvn1, post: 2697538, member: 26424"] Commoners can be forces to be reckoned with. This is taken from [url]http://www.criticalmiss.com/issue3[/url][sblock][i]The rank stench of the tavern assailed the nostrils as Yarnn the Mighty, Jaccotan the Bastard and Merron the Wise entered; walking through the open doorway in search of some good food and a pitcher of ale (and in Jaccotan's case a quick screw with one of the scrubbers who worked the upstairs room). Yarnn approached the landlord. "It :):):):)ing stinks in here! What d'ya put on the floor - raw sewage?" Before the landlord could answer, one of the drinkers at a nearby table got up and approached Yarnn. He wore a battered brown leather tunic, and stank. Really badly. "You got a problem mate?" he asked. Yarnn, mid-level adventurer that he was, looked the workman up and down and smirked: "Who's asking?" The man stood his ground. "Darmok the Sewerman, that's who!" That explains the smell, thought Yarnn, s:):):):):):)ing. The man reached down beneath the table and pulled out a battered shovel. "Do you know what I do every day?" Yarnn was beginning to get annoyed. Why couldn't the little :):):):) just sod off and take his stink with him. "I kill rats," the man continued, holding up the shovel. "Dozens of them.
