Legend
You linger around in the hideout waiting for your next orders from Reginald, soon one of your brethren approaches you. He's a shifty looking individual and is facially deformed. If anyone needs to cover their face with a hood, he's certainly a good candidate.
"Hmm, so you're the new one Reginald's taken an interest in eh? You don't look his type."
"Huh?" you reply.
"Given your confusion, I'm guessing that I was right and you aren't his type otherwise you'd know damn well what I was talking about. Never mind. It's for the best. Sure you'd move up the ranks a lot quicker, but I'd say it ain't worth it. Of course nobody would want an ugly mug like me anyway! Hah! Anyway, I'm Repulsive. Not my true name of course, but that's the nickname the brethren have seen fit to saddle me with, but such are the trials of serving the Dark One. I'm here to show you to your room, follow me."
"My room?"
"Yeah, you're one of us now, so you get your own room in this...palace. Reginald likes to keep an eye on us and wants us all in one place just in case something happens."
"Like what?"
"Hell if I know, he's probably just overly paranoid, but it is true that we have to operate in secrecy. So having us all in a designated home base as it were lessens the chances of us possibly getting picked off one by one."
"But if we're all together, then given a sizable force that discovered us, we could all get possibly destroyed. That would severely weaken the Dark One's influence here."
"Feh, I doubt if Reginald would care in the scheme of things. He probably just wants more warm bodies to hide behind while he makes his escape."
"Sounds like you don't like him."
Repulsive turns around and get right in your face. His breath is even worse than his face if such a thing were possible, which it apparently is.
"Damn right I don't! I don't like you either! I don't like anyone! I'm out for myself, and you had best not forget that everyone else here is too! We're not some club of friends you happened to just join because you liked the color of our robes! This is dedication to REAL evil. Survival of the fittest and only the strong survive and all of that. Here's your room."
Repulsive shows you a dirty and nearly barren room. You see roaches scurrying for cover when you step inside. You then look back at him.
"What? You expecting the Baron's Bedroom? Well too bad, this is what you get. You'll deal with it and like it. You can keep all your stuff here, I'd suggest you keep the door locked and not leave anything too important in here, because people tend to take what they want when the mood strikes them. Well you'll figure it out and thrive, either that you'll die and we won't have to carry your weakness any longer."
Repulsive roughly clears his throat and spits on your floor and then leaves you to your own devices.
You now have a place to stash your stuff. The Secret Hideout. Mark this down so you can make a list of what you want to keep there in the future. Also keep in mind that your gold and items you keep here can't be used while you're actually on a quest! (You CAN use any gold that you stash here when buying things here in the city though)
You try to make your room as comfortable as possible, but you fail. In any event you're told that Reginald doesn't have anything immediately for you, so you get some "time off" as it were. You ponder what to do in the meantime.
