"Salty Creek was a nasty little town, almost felt like a service to burn it down. Something about the people, genereally unpleasant, and the town just had a feeling of grime about it. Not that Leringard's really any cleaner, but this place wasn't my home. Seems that the word is spreading around these parts, the village almost seemed to expect us this time. Not that any amount of preparation would have given a bunch of farmers and fishermen any chance against us, but they put up a bit more of a fight than the last ones. Ash seems happy with our progress so far, at least as happy as he ever seems. He's an ambitious one for sure, never seems quite satisfied. Him and that other guy, Ulkazzar. Most of us are in this for the money, you know, burn a few villages no one will miss and retire early. Then there are some others, the half-witted dwarf Axe, that just seem to be here for the fun of it. But Ulkazzar, he seems really into this whole justice thing. Like burning a few villages'll bring the world into harmony. I don't know, he seems useful so far so I guess there's no harm in him staying around, and Ash seems to like him. Something about him just seems different." - Tolroy "Twindagger" Thamas, Sword for Hire
