Street-Kind Heroes

Red Blade Gang Brought to Justice

The annual Street-Kind Charity Ball was held last night with dignitaries and nobility travelling from across Sharn to Crystal Springs, the beautiful home of Lady Corven Sahlmer in the Mithral Towers district of the Upper Central Plateau. As the skycoaches flew in the crowds gathered to see the rich and sequestered draped in all their finery, hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
Guests included folk from all walks of life, from the most the distingushed nobility to the most humble of street-folk. Actors, musicians, politicians and socialites rubbed shoulders with traders, blacksmiths, cogs-workers and the homeless in this wonderful event that reminds us that we are part of this great city and that we should help each other as bet as we can.

It has, however, come to the attention of this reporter that all did not run smoothly at the function. Apparently as the party was in full swing there was an attempted robbery, one of the guests had their hippogriff stolen.
As the thieves returned for a second time, reportedly for another hippogriff, they butchered the guards posted there and would have got away with the prized mount were it not for a group of unknown individuals who had the courage to stand up to the gang.

The Red Blades have been fugitives from the law for some time now and their leader, Drem Lamor, was described by Yric Oureson of the City Watch as "a criminal master-mind in the making". After a series of bloody heists the gang got their name as a force to be reckoned with and with reputed ties to some of Sharn's largest criminal syndicates the have-a-go heroes who stood up to villainy and unlawful behaviour had best watch their backs for fear of revenge.
All five members were killed in the altercation.

The Sharn Inquisitive says:
Let the heroes who brought down such a vile group of villains be decorated and recognised by the city.
There are too many good folk suffering at the hands of criminals.

With an estimated 80,000 gold pieces raised for the charity it was hailed as a huge success.

On the one hand, ahh glory and fame.

On the other

Oops

A "group of unknown individuals" are in trouble. Relax.

I think you forget that Lord Loud Mouth yelled loud enough for the entire party to hear that Anvil and Kapek were in the stables. Pretty easy to figure out

As we're going to be recognized by the bad guys anyway I say we contact the Sharn Inquisitive and see if we can't get something out of this. At the least it will impress the chicks

Well i'd rather not be recognised at all.
Popularity breeds jealousy and i don't think it will be just the criminal element we will attract. Every hero 'wannabe' will have a go every time we enter a tavern, it's likely that gang members will attack us in the streets just to prove their worth.
Not forgeting that there is every possibility that the groups criminal friends may well have put a price on our heads, and if that is the case then i want as few people knowing who we are as possible. If they don't know us they can't reach us - surely.

I agree being too well known without the power the defend ourselves is a dangerous business. Maybe once we have dealt with the Blood of Vol or whomever kidnapped us in the first place, then maybe we can all relax a little more and enjoy some fame if that is what you wish for Ajax.
