Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.
I'm not entirely what you mean by "adventurer/troubleshooting," but I think you're on the right track for what I'm envisioning. Nothing in the Nightsong Guild descriptions make the Guild criminal (IMO), so maybe I'm taking a broad view about it. Members of the Nightsong Guild could be criminal, but I see the guild as more Neutral in that regard. They probably have their own agenda (or various members/chapters have their own agendas) and they do favors/call favors for people. This naturally involves stepping on some toes, but also sometimes helping/working with the people whose toes they're stepping on.Urko said:
At least, that's how they might work politically. Individually, the Guild members are seen as loyal experts in their respective fields that work together for their common good (which may or may not be selfish). They do what has to be done and they do it well.

I'll drop out. I was pretty excited to play a goblinoid or orc, but I just don't see it happening. Good luck with the game!

Background
From the time of making, Eff Flat had been listening. He was instantly fascinated by the tonal qualities of metal striking metal. Also the sound the metal makes as it moves through the air. Throughout his short duty as a warrior in the warforged armies, he would try to pick out notes that were being played as steel struck steel and steel moved through the air. He even got frustrated when certain weapons changed in pitch as they got older. He vowed a secret covenant with himself to learn more when he could.
When the wars at last ended he decided to search out the knowledge he needed to create instruments and to play these creations. But, since he had only known war, metal and weapons were his natural canvas. With a slightly twisted idea of how music was created he began to fashion his own musical instruments. Instruments, not only of war, but of music as well.
His first creations were of little use either in battle or on the tavern stage. So he decided to study texts devoted to the subject. These books were few and far between, but he continued to learn as he went from library to library in search of this knowledge. His natural ability to go without sleep made it much easier to study at late hours. At last he had learned enough to try more experiments. To fund his work he learned to perform for others.
It has taken him much studying and many hours of practicing, but Eff Flat has finally created his masterpiece. Or more correctly twenty-five of them. He calls them dagger flutes.
He has been traveling from tavern to tavern playing his unique intruments. While he has gotten quite good at it, he has found that the response hasn't been like he had hoped. It is especially difficult in those taverns that have 'no weapons' rules.
Personality
Eff Flat seems very friendly and is always looking for his next gig. he is known to try anything in order to play a tune or two on his dagger flutes.
Appearance
Eff Flat has a body made of copper. He generally found wearing traveling clothes and has a bandolier across his front with many daggers in it.
