Bit of backstory:
Character name: Elspeth \"Firebug\" Flamebringer
Race: Female human mage, age 20
Origins: Expelled from her village at age 9 for setting a few TEENY fires, just to keep herself from freezing to death at night. And it wasn\'t her fault she was lodged in the hayloft. She\'s been wandering around ever since, so she\'s picked up a few ranger skills as a matter of necessity.
Now:
1) Get the item I want. The one I can SEE. I\'m not going to buy a box. No, I don\'t care how cheap the box is. Look, for all I know you\'ve filled that with cotton, or a poisonous snake. And now I can\'t even sell the box, because you\'ve just carved my name in it! Fine! Keep them both! I\'ll probably end up summoning my own efreet one day anyway!
2) Warm myself by the fire. If he\'s a bandit, he wouldn\'t be the first to attack me, but I\'m sure I\'ll be his last. And if the bandit\'s dead, so what? I\'m not afraid of wood. Even spooky wood.
3) Help the guards reduce the bodies of plague victims to ash from a safe distance, rather than piling them all together first. In return, the guards ignore the growing pile of dirt and melted rock near my residence. If the food starts to run out, I along with a good fraction of the guards will disappear.
