Message: <blockquote data-quote="SSS-Druid" data-source="post: 267703" data-attributes="member: 613">Player CharactersRua Woodsdatter (human female, Rog3, CG)The young half wood-elf Rua grew up on the streets of Hollowfaust. Though she avoided the underground elements of the city’s streets (such as the Brotherhood of the Shade), she did manage to survive by stealing. Her nimble fingers served her well, at least until she tried to cut the coin purse of a darkly dressed man.Unfortunately, this slightly drunken man turned out to be a Guildsman and the decorative skeletal hand hanging from his belt turned out to be all too animated, seizing her hand as she put blade to purse. He quickly subdued her with the help of a nearby trio of skeletons and she was taken into the court system of Hollowfaust.The guildsman, Amanfar Darsinthe, brought his apprentice, Sallia, to the court proceedings so that she might watch Hollowfaust justice in action. Because she stole nothing, Rua was not fined, but she was sentenced to the single lash given to petty thieves.The night before her sentence, Sallia snuck into the holding cell and the two talked long into the night. Sallia was found there the next morning, and she begged her mentor and the justiciaries to withhold punishment, for she wished to make Rua a retainer.Amanfar congratulated her on her excellent choice in retainer and then bade her move aside so that the punishment might be carried out. Not even retainers – ultimately, not even Guildsmen – are immune to the laws of Hollowfaust, and a good retainer would understand the reasons why the punishment must be carried out.For reasons that Rua to this day isn’t entirely sure of, she agreed to go quietly to the lashing, and then accepted her retainer’s token.DM’s NotesThis character is played by Jenna Lovelady.Rua is the tough, street-smart one of the group; despite the difficulties and tragedies the others may have lived through, none of them have ever had to figure out how to survive on the streets. She is also the only one that knows her way around the Hollowfaust topside.</blockquote>
