I appreciate all the help. And my players will appreciate it too.REchan: you asked about the rest of my players. I'll try to keep the outline as brief as possible.Lady Michelle: an Elf who married into a noble family (scandal!! Elves are despised foreigners) . Many suspect her husband was bewitched by her. The fact that he died tragically less than a year later leaving her childless and heir to his great fortune has not helped quash rumours. She is a sorceressand has a dark past herself and is being blackmailed by her ex-lover. SHe went to meet him on a dark and misty night...Don, the Pirate. A two-bit sort of pirate who imagines himself much greater than he is. Was astounded to find his ex-lover is now rich and has wasted no time in blackmailing her. (He happens to know she is a sorcereress.) He wants a new ship, but she aint that rich.Jonas, a con artist ala Michael Caine's character in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Has had the good fortune to meet the Lady Michelle and has convinced her he is the rightful heir to the Barony of Tilsit, deposed by the puritanical Pholtics. She has invited the "poor Baron" to stay at her townhouse.AJ, an actor and petty thief/smuggler who saw the Lady Michelle the evening she was meeting her ex-lover. She was assaulted by strangers in the low dive they were meeting in and he completely failed to help her. Until he discovered she was rich. Suddenly he can't do enough for her.Helena, a pirate/smuggler sometime friend/lover of AJ. An Elf as well. She's drunk most of the time and just hanging around because it looks like she can get this rich cow to pick up her bar tab. Plus there's always trouble where ever AJ goes.Sir Conan, the Lady Michelle's cousin by marriage. He is poor and has decided to make his way in the world as a mercenary. His first real job, keeping his cousin safe, has gone well but he is wondering if she's going to remember to pay him.I've let everyone by extra feats by taking flaws. So the Lady Michelle has an enemy. We're thinking it must be the mother of her dead husband but still thinking it over.AJ the actor has a rival/enemy: another actor. I'm going to make the enemy the leader of the Duchess's Gentlemen. (the premier acting troupe in the Grand Duchy.)In the first session they have made an enemy of the leader of the main smuggling gang in the city. He is incidentally a low ranking member of the secret cult that is headed by the second most powerful nobleman in the Grand Duchy. So the heroes are already on a collision course with the BBEG.That's about where we stand at the moment. Next session I will introduce the actor's rival when he and someofhis troupe gate crash a performance by AJ.Thanks again to every one. there's too many Dark Secrets to address individually, just let me say they're all very cool and I'll enjoy using all the ones I can. cheers,Glen</blockquote>
