You might have had a hand in helping some ratfolk escape Technic League enslavement a few years back. Maybe you weren't connected to that, but helped some out when they were on the run.<br/>• Rix is an inhabitant of Torch, and could just randomly know people; if you buy spare parts from the junkyard (or often add them to the pile,) you might know her as being less weird than the gnome who runs that show.<br/>• With the Technologist feat and her association with the junkyard, she might serve as a go-to for identifying odd bits of junk or contraptions you might have picked up.<br/>• If your character is around Torch and talks shit about the Technic League, maybe she's bought you a drink. <br/>• She's probably actively asking around about people to investigate the failure of the flame, since Khonnir Baine's gone missing. Your standard "post on a messageboard" kind of thing.<br/>• Some people go for small rat-faced women, I dunno. <br/><br/>Open to and interested in other ideas, of course!</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I figure upon Kal's arrival in Torch, he might have been interested in finding people with knowledge for the few broken knick-knacks he's found in his travels or else for the notes he's been collecting throughout the ruins he's traveled.<br/><br/>Likewise, his marked dislike of the Technic League is quite evident for anyone who's known him for more than a few days.<hr/><br/><strong>@ Vergil:</strong>Kal has been on the road for a month or two before reaching Torch, so if you're up for 'met up on the road and struck up a friendship', that works for me too.  Maybe even fought off a bandit or two.<br/><br/><strong>@ Bibliophilia:</strong>Might be a bit of a stretch, but since Cosima and Kal have the n. archaeologist feat, perhaps they stumbled into one another at some point whilst looking into the same ruin?  Regardless, as an Android and a Cleric, a combination like that would immediately catch Kal's attention, as prior he would not have expected to see anything tech-based/created as being affiliated with the divine - the combination does pique his curiosity in a generally positive way.<hr/><br/>And Happy New Year to all!
