She would go from one town to another. Now in one city she stops and does her thing, you know, her way on payingher way and making a bit of money on the side. Well the local ruler had with certain pressure from the church, started up his own mini-inquisition on destroying all magic users from the realm.  Well she gets dragged in front of the ruler who likes how she looks and... well he rapes her, and the guards too. That night in the dawn before her executuon she is trying to recite a spell, which goes horribly wrong and a greater demon is summoned. The demon makes a faustian deal with her, he will kill the ruler for her unborn child. She agrees, and finds herself on the out skirts of the city.  9 months later the demon appears and takes her child from her. Ever since then she has been looking for her child, Hope, whenever she can between adventures.Slavery is something that is used in several games I have been as well as War. Not the kind involving flashing blades, but rather the kind where sieges have been long and ugly, with foot weary soldiers,  tunneling under walls so that the walls would collapse and let the soldiers in.I just had a great thought on running medievalish campaign set in the line of the war of the roses.-Angel Tears</blockquote>
