Once she gets bonded to a owner, she for rest of her life will be a slave. Owners can be changed but her status cannot reversed back to freewoman or what it was before slavery. Only added element is if she registers to Adventurer Guild she gets listed also as adventurer but still listed as slave. Or if she becomes criminal she gets labelled with that as well.<br/><br/>"Of course you can let them go but everywhere where her characther sheet will be shown it displays her as slave and owner name. Slaves traveling without owner is not unheard off but it will be viewed in strong suspicion, thinking she is escaped slave and some places can have laws which can get her arrested in roaming free as she does and held until owner comes up retrieve them...and failing that, she will be resold in auction in whatever nation she was arrested in. Also any crimes slave commits, whether owner is aware or commanded do so, will be held responsible for. Unless before a crime is committed owner has listed slave as escaped and that automatically adds criminal tag and record on said slave's character sheet once escape is listed.<br/><br/>"Lastly, if owner dies, all slaves they own die as well. With no chance for ressurecton working unless you cast it owner first if he qualifies and then to slave. This feature prevents slaves harming or killing their owners. Despite distance or years since contract was made. There is two approaches to this; I know a merchant family who has owned a elf slave for four hundred years and they prevent her dying off by passing ownership between parents and children, they bought even expensive ritual which allows them predict precisely time of their deaths so they do not accidentally lose her. Reasons for such efforts is unknown by my guess she is so valuable she is considered as family treasure and would be waste to let her die. Or perhaps because she is entire family's shared grandmother. You can decide morality on that decision by yourselves.<br/><br/>"Second apporach is that I know gnome who had seven wives, all which were young but they all refused to be passed onto other men or women. They chose to die with their master instead abandoning him, they all died together on same bed as gnome passed away by old age. Of course there are cruel masters who do not even afford slave even choice whether they want die with them or not, but there is reason why slavery has occured only with criminals and those who are truly willing and desperate enough become one.<br/><br/>"Of course I am not against you decide help her without charge or payment, that's freedom you can decide to do. But remember what I said; this job is very hard and I found only you eight capable people to even have chance to succeed on the job. I for sure know, lord Balebrook would not allow sending his treasured concubine to rescue Alana's village without any gain for himself or for his slave. So her removal from group would lead your mission becoming lot harder, more so without any financial aid from me nor I would lend my battle slave help track Buga down as I would gain nothing as well. The twenty percent I get from slave transaction obliges me to give that much aid what I already promised to deliver. So I say, your chances doing this without aid from me and Mephis would fall near suicidal in risk in such scenario. But who knows, maybe gods smile you and you triumph against odds. Alternative is becoming Buga's playthings for rest of your very likely short lives. I as merchant just offer you options and chance increase your chances to succeed on this task.<br/><br/>"I am not going lecture about perks of slavery but nor tolerate insults to my trade, I know how my bread is buttered and I like the way it is. You can agree or disagree of how things are, but reality is quite different in here and now than from places and worlds where you came from. Only just thing you can do, is respect the sacrifice Alana is willing to do and make best possible outcome for her and from her sacrifice."
