@Rodiak aye that could work, my guy will most likely be er, working with some...volunteers so no kill on sight please. We'll say they're bandits actually.
Edit: Just read the post,could work as a mildly interesting intro if you kill all the bandits only to find they were undead and Tar is at the end of the cave with the chief's corpse, doing some alchemical tests on him or something.
Unless Edd has something else planned ofc. Actually while I'm thinking about it would I be okay to start with some basic potions and poisons?
