When Grief hired the plainswoman, it was mostly out of boredom. Luckily Ember proved to be delightful company and one of the most efficent fighters she had ever seen. So when the job was done, it was a nice surprise that she came with her to Crossing. And even to Sanction! What a lovely pair they made.
Sanction was certainly more interesting place than Abanasinia could ever be. But how hard it was to find a tavern in this place, that would offer beds?
Well... They finally found the right place. Only to walk straigth into a fight. It was shortlived, as was the bartender. Idiots, Grief thought, killed the wrong man. Or perhaps not... She and Ember walked right behind the bar and started gathering the bottles. Grief made sure every living DA soldier and officer got their share as well, so no one could complain to higher ups.
Free booze and beds, with new unexpected friend in the tow. Who could ask for anything better.
(so the npc soldiers just killed eachother as we walked in... we just went on from there xD )
