La porte s'ouvrit à peine tandis que le gnome femelle s'enfonçait, pesait par le sac à dos qui semblait menacer de la renverser à toute seconde. Elle ne semblait pas avoir beaucoup à dire, bien que son expression soit restée joyeuse alors qu'elle plisait son sac et se tirait sur un tabouret, juste à côté d'un magicien qui avait une batte familière visible. Que le sorcier essayait ou non d'écouter n'avait pas d'importance; le gnome s'est alors emparé d'une voix plutôt joyeuse:
"Bonjour! Ton familier est si mignon!"
Ça n'a pas attiré l'attention du sorcier très vite! L'ancien sorcier regarda les vêtements de son voyageur et gronda avant de glisser sur son tabouret. Le gnome s'approcha de lui, continuant à parler. "Hé, attendez, je voulais juste le caresser! Ou elle! Ou ce qu'ils veulent être! » Elle n'était pas assez rapide, cependant, et est tombée sur son sac à dos avec un faible bruit écrasant.
"Oh-oh." Oubliant le magicien et son adorable animal de compagnie, le gnome a glissé sur son sac à dos et l'a ouvert. Le sable, les éclats de verre, les poudres, et comme décoré ses objets maintenant - bien qu'elle devait noter que tout n'avait pas cassé. Il y avait encore des provisions. Mais bon sang, quel début de freelancing.
Name: Cyanak Thoraak
Race: Rock Gnome

Appearance: Short, of course, with brown skin and blond braided hair. Her clothing's relatively light - a plain tan shirt and vest, a grey skirt, and black boots and gloves.

Alignment: Neutral
Bio: Cyanak was born in Tinkertown, though her affinity for magic over technology resulted in her leaving as soon as she could, at age 40. She skipped over the Northern continent, opting for the less-stable Western continent and its constantly shifting map for a few reasons. For one, she was quite fond of the chaos - as long as she kept her head low and didn't openly support any regime, she was regarded as useful by more than a handful of people over the years. She sold her brewed items to whoever was willing to pay her cheap prices and, if things got too exciting, she packed up shop and moved to another kingdom. When things began to grow relatively stable, she found herself becoming bored and finding new ways to keep herself amused - offering her services as a utility mage to adventurers wanting to explore the desert, studying alchemical recipes, kidnapping people's pets, all sorts of things. The last one ended up getting her arrested eventually and she would have been beheaded had an adventurer's group not bailed her out - they needed a magic-user to support them, and they'd be keeping her around for the long run. Cyanak agreed since, sure, she needed something to do anyhow if she wasn't going to be executed.
The last time she saw them, the barbarian and rogue threw the halfling fighter into the dragon's mouth at his request and were hoping he'd be able to cut through as he promised. She still has no idea if he ever did.
Personality: Cyanak is, at a glance, extremely sweet and kind. She'll gladly chat you up if you're interested, will not bother you if you aren't, will volunteer for raids without demanding compensation beyond healing and supplies used, and will likely gush over your animal companions. She seems content to use her magic for support as opposed to front-line fighting, and she barely seems capable of lying. She believes in honoring any promises she made and that she should be as upfront as is comfortable. That all said, she also seems to have an intense love for fighting and killing, and her love of magic tends to emphasize how she can turn a fight around with a flick of her wrist and a word. It also cannot be emphasized enough she should not be left alone with small animals. While promises are important, she doesn't hold any particular loyalty to anyone, considering herself a drifter. A good teammate if you can put up with her rather inconsistent personality, a villain if you cannot.
Equipment: Alchemist's crafting kit, crowbar, one set of caltrops, two flasks of oil, four empty flasks, four sets of rations, a waterskin, a bedroll, a sling, sling bullets, spell component pouch, and of course a backpack.
