Serfdom and Sorcery brotherhood of the Pillagers

_{image created on with discord art bot by @ausbitbank
In the humble village where Korhell spent his childhood, survival meant more than dreams and aspirations. Born into a destitute family, he was forced to mature quickly and assume the role of provider. From an early age, Korhell learned the art of pickpocketing, honing his skills by deftly snatching food from local farmers' stalls without alerting their watchful eyes. He even mastered the delicate art of milking cows in total silence, careful not to arouse suspicion as he ensured his family's meager sustenance.}

As he grew older, Korhell's nimble fingers and quick wit became his most valuable assets. He ventured beyond the village, delving into the treacherous world of thievery and subterfuge. The bustling marketplace became his playground, a labyrinth of opportunities waiting to be seized.

And this was one of those opportunities and he had mastered his plan perfectly. The council would be pleased, he was shure of that.

He entered Addies Inn. Immediately he was struck by the smell of beer, sweat and smoke searing from the pipes of a group of hunters. In one of the back corners another group was playing Decks. A little gambling after the succesful heist couldn't hurt anyone. But first he had more pressing things to do. He passed through the dirty tavern and slipped through the crowd of drinking and chattering people from all over the Kingdom.
Nobody noticed him as he sat down on an empty bench next to a stinking huge drunk hammersmith snoring in his own vomit.

And suddenly he was on the other side of the wall. The room was small with only one round table and six chairs. Only one figure was waiting there. Goliath the Mighty better known to Korhell as Adie.
The giant grinned.

"I will never get used to these turning walls, I hit my head when I pulled the lever."
he rubbed his head but one could see that it did not really hurt this mountain of a man.
"Where is he now?" Korhell asked.
Adie's grin turned into a big smile
"You know I can not tell you until it is time! The council will let you talk to him when he is ready. For now lay low and do not gamble away all your Doubloons on Decks! Await a raven in the next 3 days. Everything went according to plan, the brotherhood is pleased with your work."
With this he stood up emptied his glass in one big sip and left the room on the other side.

Korhell inspected his loot he had taken from Solymi.
What idiot is carrying thousand of doubloons worth of diamonds in his purse?
He waited for five more minutes then sat down on the bench and reappeared next to the disgusting figure of the hammersmith. Only this time he was concsious.
"My dagger in your hand" he whispered
"And mine in yours" - Korhell stood up and headed straight for the table of Decks.
