 Short and slightly built, Wyn sports longish blonde hair and has a well trimmed moustache and a small patch of beard on his chin.  Everything is neatly trimmed, but look closely and you can see that the rest of his face is as smooth as a girl’s and he doesn’t need to shave. Short and slightly built, Wyn sports longish blonde hair and has a well trimmed moustache and a small patch of beard on his chin.  Everything is neatly trimmed, but look closely and you can see that the rest of his face is as smooth as a girl’s and he doesn’t need to shave.

 Berta was never what you might call pretty, and certainly not to her face unless you'd got a good start on her.  Not plain, by any means - takes after her mother in that regard, and Mary Roth got all the attention she ever wanted.  But ...  she favours leathers over silk dresses and those red tresses of hers are rarely touched by either hair dresser or brush.  Got more muscle and bulk on her than  is considered proper for a woman too, least so her mother told her and told her - in these parts if you see a man or a woman with a sword at her hip, you damn well asssume he or she knows how to use it and keep a civil tongue in your head if you know what's good for you. Berta was never what you might call pretty, and certainly not to her face unless you'd got a good start on her.  Not plain, by any means - takes after her mother in that regard, and Mary Roth got all the attention she ever wanted.  But ...  she favours leathers over silk dresses and those red tresses of hers are rarely touched by either hair dresser or brush.  Got more muscle and bulk on her than  is considered proper for a woman too, least so her mother told her and told her - in these parts if you see a man or a woman with a sword at her hip, you damn well asssume he or she knows how to use it and keep a civil tongue in your head if you know what's good for you.

 Fiery haired harridan, that's what they say of Berta down at the barracks, though not to her face, for she's got a temper on her, that one.  And while she might think she knows how to use her fists and a sword, nobody is minded to teach her otherwise, for her father, Captain Roth, would skin alive any man who lay a hand on his daughter. Fiery haired harridan, that's what they say of Berta down at the barracks, though not to her face, for she's got a temper on her, that one.  And while she might think she knows how to use her fists and a sword, nobody is minded to teach her otherwise, for her father, Captain Roth, would skin alive any man who lay a hand on his daughter.

 Gedd is the son of Mrs Mary Roth (Nee: Marayne duFeu - Now: Sister Mary.) Marayne  was a pretty, vivacious young lady but not particularly clever. She loved to party  and fell pregnant after a brief liaison with an elf. The family swung into action  and a quick marriage with a junior officer in the Town Watch, called Nathaniel Roth,  was arranged. So, the duFeu family had a half-elf son Wyn and human daughter Roberta  (otherwise known as Berta) before the shock arrival of a half-orc bastard son. Gedd is the son of Mrs Mary Roth (Nee: Marayne duFeu - Now: Sister Mary.)

She can be very diplomatic when required.+**Winnie Roth**  -  Wyn's Wife - an attractive blonde, with a tattoo of a white dragon.  Originally an NPC, the DM of the game described her as "Winnie is not a combat powerhouse either.  Rogue/bard levels that I never fully wrote out, most of the focus on social and stealthy skills."  However, we know she worked as a barmaid at The White Dragon in Valerez, and is a good cook (from a very formal meal she cooked when we bought part of The White Dragon Inn).  We also know that she can dance and has minor performance skill (although those are possibly untrained).

 Folfast Balhon An unattractive, awkward man, but of great physical presence. Of booming voice and impressive girth, strong as a lion, but morally opposed to any form of exercise, including physical labour - having tried it once and finding it did not agree with him. Bristling beard, ruddy cheeked and overly fond of his ale.  His clothing, while once of good quality, is now worn and rather shabby - like its owner, it has seen far better days.  Slow to anger or take offence, but quick to inadvertently give it.  Plays the fiddle and writes songs. Folfast Balhon An unattractive, awkward man, but of great physical presence.
