Showing his incorruptable nature, Caerwyn gets a permanent flag "Badass Adventurer", which gives him a +1 bonus to rolls related to power of will.
Damn, dude, you're awesome.
You keep going right out of that wicked place, where fat merchants make their money by feeding war machines. You have a map of the places nearby, so you can make your route to three points:
A mountain village named Rownad is three days away.
Another fortress-city of Gundarad is six days away.
Gwarven outpost of Lundared is a week away, it is on the very border of Dwaven Commonwealth and Wildlands
Where do you wish to go?

As you ask for him verbally, he seems to show no reaction. You shake his shoulder then, and [6] he looks straight at you two. He is surprised, and... relieved?
- So, you kids are looking for some work, eh? (it seems that he thinks Dzot is an ugly kiddo)
- I actually have some just for ya. Come over here.
He stand up - now you see one of his legs is a metalcrafted artificial limb down from the knee, and this is no crude work: he steps softly, as it was his own leg - and sits at реу table in the very corner. He is trusting you because he knows, that only the persons that are outlawed everywhere come to Lantern. And if you'll try to report to men, you'll be dead before you say "rebellion".
- So, brave ones, here's the deal, - he begins to speak in a calm quiet voice - we need someone small as you to perform a breakout. We need you to penetrate Occupation Headquaters throught air shaft here - he places a detailed city map on the table - and neutralise as much of the guards inside as you can. Full-scale assault is on that time - he turns the map over: there is a date and time written there - your prise is everything you're able to loot from the dead guards inside - guns, money, whatever. Do you accept?

As Dargove approaches the town, his expectations grow: he really looks forward for warm food, bed and drink. But as he reaches the gates, all his hopes are faded at once, for the gates are completely broke down. They look like they were shot with a 400mm howitizer (and due to deep trails on earth, they really was). As you enter the town, you wonder why there's no one at all in the streets. You make just two steps before you know the answer - an armed crowd seems to errupt from every hole of the deserted town. Most of them, however, are armed with improvised weapons, some have clubs and hayforks, a few have firearms. All pointed at you. They have a leader - it is a mature Elf, who wears uniform of the times of War of Last Mages, but armed with an engraved revolver pointed right between your eyes. His sight tells that he fought your ancestors and ready to fight with you. But it seems that he is not killing you right there because he is intrested to see one of your kind once more.
- What do you want here?

You gather your poor belongings into one small sack (but yer sword is still protrudes out of it), put on your pretty weared suit and head to railway station through the city's guts.
Though you knew how it should look like, you now see quite another face of the city. No parks, squares, or even streets - you have to go through sandlots, industrial zones, working quaters aтв other places that are no good for you. You see beggars and homeless - their arms stretching to you, their pale faces and thin lips praising for a singulus.
[1] As you turn the next corner, you see a kind of long and straight passage made by a huge factory, a long and broad building with chimneys of all sorts and sizes coming out of it, on one side and a group of storehouses built so close to each other that there is no way for a person to walk between them. You make half way through this passage when you see a group of obviously drunk people, dressed in black longcoats with red bands on their left sleeves. Some of them are still holding bottles of vodka.
And they seem to mention you, so you're now their prime interest. They're approaching quickly.

You are sneaking through narrow lanes and idestreets to avoid the crowd [4] and you're now end up to the place officialy unknown, but known well among the outcasts and rebels of the town - so called Nowhere Square. It is actually a blind alley, but mane doors and even ladders are leading from here to former industrial zone, now occupied by outlaws of various sorts. You crawl up one of the ladders that leads you to a small tower, intended to be guard tower of the facility, but transformed to a tavern known as Lantern - 'cause lights from it are lighting the Nowhere Square.
As you come to the taver, you see that it is quite deserted. But two visitors are still here: one of them is an elf with scar across his face and a heavy gaze directed to the bottom of his huge mug, and another one is truly remarkable - you're lucky to see a dragonborn, but to see a draginborn soldier - that is an event shown once in your life. However, he seems to be asleep. You are wandering for job from a barman, a fat half-blood elf.
Work, heh? I guess you should wake one of those two up to get some, but that is risky.
