OOC: Quest sounds fine also. As for the selection process, either have the king send out some discreet psychics to look for the best of the best (meaning us) or have a more formal duel with the guards or champions or whatever, or maybe we just stumble into the "secret meeting" first and are chosen because of that. The possibilities are endless. BTW, good call on Ed, Dixie. I now have a pretty decent picture of what your character is like.
Dreggan eyed the little girl suspiciously at first. His guild often trained children in their thieving crafts, because noone ever suspected children of any serious wrongdoing. However, he quickly relaxed and went about introducing himself when it was his turn.
"I'm Dreggan of the Grey Fog Thieves Guild. I rob from the rich and give to myself. I am an untrustworthy, lying backstabber if there ever was one. I'm very pleased to meet you!
As for my worthiness as a warrior... well, let's just say I fight dirty and to win. My Savate style focuses on kicks and aerial attacks, and my sais and needles pick up where my legs leave off."
Before finishing that last statement, a flash of movement was all that was seen from him by the rest of the group. In the blink of an eye, a needle was imbedded in the mug Nina was just bringing to her lips. A small trickle of red wine started to fall to the table.
"I believe you're waaay too young to be drinking, little miss!"
Chewing on an apple, Dreggan continued.
"So what's the deal with this gathering? To tell you the truth, I just came here for the free food and easy pickings, but I wonder what could prompt so many people to show up here... What do you guys think?"
