What's a barbarian without his lockpicks?
You mean his greataxe, right?

The lock picks are for doors he can't break down with the greataxe
Fenris, if your PC doesn't kill someone with his lock picks in a particularly gruesome fashion & hack open a door with his greataxe, I'll be disappointed.
Uff. [MENTION=8058]Queenie[/MENTION] that was a seriously dark character backstory. The tone of Absalom... *shudder* that was evil. Bravo.
I am good with that character connection. It would definitely be a strong way to play upon Fitz's guilty conscience and desire to repent (even if the curmudgeonly little bugger would never admit it with a straight face). I like how it also sets up a personal rivalry between the two mages Absalom and Severen the Gaunt - great material for our DM!
Fitz might even be an admirer of Lorelei's now - one of her many, I'm sure - though scarcely able to bring himself to a face-to-face meeting because of shame... Thus he contents himself delivering little sacks of gold through brass monkey clockwork toys, poems praising her beauty in music boxes, providing her a bit of insider information while cloaked in the night just outside the backdoor of The Velvet Rose. After all, a "Rumpel" like him would be laughed out of such an establishment, he is hideous compared to the effervescent Lorelei, and his dreams of once again feeling what he'd felt that shameful night frighten him too much to enter.
So...in our twisted fairy tale...he'd sorta assume a covert fairy god-gnome role for Lorelei.
Also, while Teryn has spent many an evening at Lorelei's establishment, he only ever drinks, despite offers for...more.
I'm having trouble thinking of how to get Grandfather associated with this crowd. He'd still be pretty young at the moment. Which could be amusing in an establishment of ill-repute.
