• Seeking

  Poe's age is beginning to tell on him, and he's finding himself more and more willing to give in to the luxury of letting another help him. He is seeking a slave or servant to help him with some simple tasks, including the following. - Hunting - Cleaning prey - Cleaning in general - Repairing clothing - First aid - Weapon and armor care - Grooming - Preparing meals - Earning coin - Caring for a baby harpy The slave or servant may be male or female, and may be able to fulfill all, or simply some, of his requirements. Finding a personality that will mesh well with his is the most important requirement, and Poe would be willing to teach many of the others if he finds an acceptable slave with a lack of knowledge.

    A new young fool has enlisted some of the local naga to oust me from my lair, claiming it for his own. My age is telling...I could not hope to kill him, not in a fair fight. Given time I could adjust the odds to be more in my favor, but time is what I do not have; Bao is hidden somewhere in my lair. If she is found, she will surely be destroyed. The sweet thing may not understand the situation. I fear she will approach one of the vermin that infests my home, in her curiosity.
    
    I have made my way back to the damned building and put forth a plea for one of the local mercenary groups to aid me in clearing my lair from this fool and his fodder. The group has caught my eye. It will be something new to keep my attention, and freshen my skills. I have spent too many years alone. The loss of my home, and first arena fight, has convinced me.
    
    This is unacceptable. I will improve again. ...if not, at least I will die in combat, rather than rot amidst a hoard of stale memories.
