<em>Given how young Olan seems, btw, and the suggested relationship of looking to Emmeret as a more experienced colleague, perhaps the party as a whole is a bit on the criminal side, but Emmeret and Bee have yet to turn him to the dark side.  As long as Azriel is open to the idea of the party as a whole, including Olan, participating in illicit activities eventually, I think exploring that facet could be interesting.  Of course, I'm thinking anything terribly dark.  No drugs or slave trade, but more along the lines of smuggling and general dishonesty.  Chaotic good/chaotic neutral, no evil alignments.</em><br/><br/>I really like this a lot.  So I think that your dynamic is starting to start out well.<br/><br/>It sounds like what we need is a 'regular' trading company and a 'hidden' one that is beneath that to deal with Numenera.  We don't really need a starting city directly since you guys will be moving around a lot, but we could do with some hooks to deal with when starting.  Let me do a bit of research about how fate does that and post something soon/tomorrow.
