Utah
The wind is howling thru the darkend street, a shadow pauses and looks at the sleeping merchant in bed. Looking left and right "The rogue" senses no traps near the window or the jewelry case on the bedside table, with a quick swipe of the hand the box is gone and the thief is out the window. Guards catch a flash of shadow and raise the alarm. Archers appear on the roof top and fire arrows and the fleeting shadow but miss. The rogue runs into a darkend alley, with several men-at-arms on his heels.
Moments later the sounds of swords hitting the pave stones could be heard. One man-at-arms walks out of the alley holding his throat.
The rogue laters shows up in a tavern, he hands the case over to a jeweled mistress. "Thank you for retrieving my jewels, Utah" said the High Elf Lady.
"Twas no trouble, a venerable
youth could have taken them,"said I. "Why did you hire me to complete this
simple task?"
"We needed proof that you
are the burglar that has been praying on the good
people of Qeynos and Surefall Glade"
The High Elven Mistress signals the guards to close in and capture Utah.
"M'lady you think I would
be so slow as to allow your pitiful attempts to catch me and put me to
death for the act of another?" With that, Utah throws an item on the ground
and vanishes.
"Put the word out among the peasants, Utah Bladebreaker is a wanted man, 50gp for information that will lead to his capture. I want his family disgraced. Place his father under arrest and kill them for treason against the crown." No one notices the rat shaped ring on the finger of the Elven Mistress.
Utah looks and sees the ring, thankful once again for the friend warned him of the approaching evil.
Utah watches as his family is put to death by the evil Elven mistress and vows vengence.
Upon departing the township of Qeynos, he befriends a Barbarian shaman. The shaman tells of a guild that seeks the talents of a rogue but of one that is true in heart and pledges to restore the order of things. Utah learns the Guild's name, "The Templars."
He journeys to the Estate of Unrest and helps Winne (Dwarven Cleric of "The Templars"). Winne, impressed by the young rogue offers him a place within the guild. Utah accepts and the rest of the story many of you already know.
My parents will be avenged.
