Legend

Tanya finally gets to the room. Just as you're about to land your last strike against Falcon, she beats you to it by throwing a dagger into his chest. Falcon clutches the dagger and falls to floor coughing up blood.

"Oh for Fel's sake…killed by a ne'er do well rogue and his demonkin girlfriend…there is no justice…" he says and then dies.

You don't have too much time to celebrate though it sounds like more Syndicate members are storming up the stairs, if a general alarm hasn't been raised yet, it has now.

"Let's escape out the window, and take to the rooftops. We'll be able to make a clean getaway that way."
"Hold on, I'm not leaving without anything!" you say and pry the black diamond from Falcon's socket as it makes a sickening POP sound.

"Heh heh! For me." You say triumphantly putting it in your pocket.
"Charming. You finished?"
"Let's go!"

You and Tanya easily make your good escape and head back to your Safehouse where you decide to lay low before making a trip to the Guild. You and Tanya discuss everything that happened tonight, and somewhere in between the laughing and thanking, you both enjoy each others company in a more physical way. (Restore all your STAMINA and LUCK points)

Later the next day you and Tanya explain what's happened to Garrick. Garrick is overjoyed, though you can sense that when he notices you and Tanya are together now, he's a little saddened by that fact. The rest of the Guild DO consider you both heroes due to this crippling blow you gave the Syndicate. Falcon's leadership was about the only thing keeping the Syndicate running like a well oiled machine. Without him, some of the other higher ranking members end up fighting each other for his place. They spend so much time fighting each other that they have less time to concentrate on the Guild.

You and Tanya spend a lot more time together, mainly doing jobs. Sometimes you work for the Guild, sometimes for yourself. Eventually the Guild climate gets a little uncomfortable due to Garrick making it very well known that he doesn't like how you got Tanya, and you decide to move all your stuff out of the Guild and keep everything at your Safe House (Cross off your Guild room, but you may transfer anything you were keeping there) you leave it looking dilapidated, but end up having an elaborate underground section to it where you place your things and sleep. You even have your own passage built so you can leave the city in a hurry.

As for Tanya, she too tires of the Guild and leaves. Now that she has you, she doesn't really feel all that close to the Guild anymore. Perhaps she never did, maybe it was just a "place holder" until she found something she could really care about, which is now you. You end up living together.

Then one day a rebellion breaks out in Holgard, there's chaos all over the city. The already unstable Syndicate collapses altogether at this point, but the Guild doesn't fair too much better. Demonic cultists who were behind the rebellion were using the sewers to their advantage, and during the chaos they came across the Guild's hiding spot and destroy it. You hear that Garrick was killed in battle with a High Priest of some sort.
The outside superiors of the Syndicate at this point write their Holgard "branch" as a loss and decide to try elsewhere. Eventually the rebellion is crushed, the current ruler is assassinated and life returns as usual in the city.

In the meantime, something is happening to Tanya that's causing her to change. It hasn't been dramatic, but it's been noticeable. Her little horns are now slightly bigger; her skin is changing to a deep reddish color, and other little things. Her demeanor is still somewhat the same, but she constantly worries that her demon heritage is going to take over completely and she's going to end up killing you. You always tell her that you don't believe that she'd ever do that though.

Then comes the day that you knew would. Doesn't make it any easier though.
