I run a weekly WFRP group and for various personal reasons our two most competent fighters have left the group. This has left the remaining 3 characters (a hedge mage, a social character, and a ranged fighter) in a situation where they are simply too scared to take plot threads, as they might entail combat.
Yes, they have the option (and enough money) to hire mercenaries just to put bodies between them and danger, but that also entails an ongoing cost. They also happen to be at the beginning of Shadows Over Bögenhafen, which is a convenient place to on-board new players.
edit: oh, uh you can just respond to this post or DM me to apply.
I actually have a decent grasp from going to sleep listening to YouTube lore videos but I'm playing an illiterate half foot that probably doesn't know albino skaven are the elite guards of the Council of Thirteen.
