1: Pick one other PC. That character knows your real identity, profession, and background. To all others, the truth about you is a closely guarded secret.
2: Pick one other PC. You were approached by someone recently who wanted to hire you to take that character out. You haven’t yet decided whether to take the job or warn her that her life’s in danger.
3: Pick two other PCs. One night after perhaps too much celebrating, you loudly claimed responsibility for a murder you didn’t commit. These two characters were the only ones who heard. Whether they believe you or not is up to them.
4: Pick one other PC. That character is the one who got you started down the path of taking lives, whether he knows it or not.
Equipment: You start with street clothes, one light or medium bladed weapon, one light or medium handgun with three clips of ammunition (or a bow with 12 arrows on Ardeyn), a disguise kit, three doses of a level 2 blade poison that inflicts 5 points of damage, and $500 ( or 50 crowns on Ardeyn).2: Pick one other PC.
