Annie's character is just a girl, I don't think anyone would care, she'd probably be assumed to be an orphan. However, I don't know Iron Tribe culture.

I wonder how she can write in the dark, honestly.

Well, she's armed. While the Iron Tribe does train their warriors from a young age, they don't allow kids at that age to brazenly walk around with weapons like she does. Besides, the Iron Tribe mostly only allows men to become warriors, save for a few exceptions who prove themselves (similar to how Joric became a warrior despite his height defect.) The main reason is not because they believe they are less capable, but because woman are needed to produce children, and child mortality rates were extremely high during this time period.

Uh, yeah, Annie, just as George said, that's the only way you have ever introduced Annie, every single time. I can't recall any thread when you depicted Annie Wells' intro any other way other than she being a spy with a notebook and pen.

Historically, spies often disguised themselves as musicians or losers, and worked in groups, overhearing what people said, memorizing it without writing down anything, and then passing on the information. For example, in medieval Europe, spies were often also musicians, and so would be minstrels, playing at a lord's hall, playing music while overhearing what the nobles spoke about, memorizing what was spoken about, and then passing on the information.



NotFishing, your points are all reasonable.

Annie.....it didn't get fixed. Notfishing told you that their were no bushes. You would have been caught before sneaking in. Think of a different way to intro or don't role play in that thread at all. Your not listening to anyone....

Alternatively, you could try to convince the guards that you're an orphan in need of shelter, if your heart is set on getting into Dormoor.

Problem is, you have no Iron Tribe citizen to vouch for you, so it would fall entirely on Annie's persuasion skills. If they don't believe you, or see any holes in your story, they might think you're a Blood Tribe spy and then take you prisoner. Then there's no guarantee what will happen after that, because they hate the Blood Tribe. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Indeed. Annie's characters have always behaved more like scouts than spies. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
