Tag: Name yourself after one of Kashya's mercenaries :)

Storyline

"SHE'LL KILL US ALL!!" Amplisa shrieked.

"I'm too well-dressed to die!" Elsa screamed.

"Calm yourselves, girls! We can't let panic overcome us. We must have clear heads or our escape from Kashya's death grip will not succeed!" came the encouraging voice of Aliza.

"She's sending more of us to our deaths every day! Whenever somebody visits the graveyard another one of us follows some would-be hero into the wilderness never to return!"

"I said calm yourself! We can do this and we will do this! We'll take as many of our girls along with us as we can! We'll come back for the rest once we slay the Wanderer! Remember, it was after his passage through this land that Blood Raven revolted and Kashya started acting strangely. I suspect that she is under his thrall, and we must escape it! This is a power we can defeat! Join with me and we will!"

Introduction

Some of Kashya's rogues suspect that she is secretly under the influence of the mysterious Wanderer. They believe that she is knowingly sending rogues to their deaths - assigning them willy-nilly to any old adventurer who happens to say he killed Blood Raven. THERE CAN'T BE THAT MANY BLOOD RAVENS! She's already sent away almost ninety-five percent of the camp's inhabitants!

A band of rogues has decided to escape and take as many of their fellow sisters with them as they can. They must work in secret to escape the Rogue Encampment (aka the Concentration Camp) and then to take out the Wanderer, who they suspect has caused all hell to break loose in this once relatively peaceful land.

Rules

Hardcore encouraged, though not required. The fatalistic attitude of this variant seems to reflect this style.

Mercenary Rules

A Rogue Rogue should always have a Rogue mercenary around (unless it is financially impossible to do so). The Rogue mercenary must play by the same rules as the Rogue Rogue, for she is also a rogue Rogue.

Items

Armor/Belts/Boots/Gloves
Quilted, Leather, Hard Leather, and Studded Leather.
Sashes, Light Belts, normal Belts, and Heavy Belts.
Boots, Heavy Boots.
Leather Gloves, Heavy Gloves, Chain Gloves.

Helms
Caps, Skull Caps, Masks, and Bone Masks are allowed.

Weapons
Short, Hunter's, Composite, Short Battle, and Short War Bows. The smaller the bow, the easier it is to conceal.

Enchantments
No enchantments/sets/rares/uniques are specifically disallowed. +Light is somewhat shunned, because she fears discovery by Kashya. She might have a very healthy love of +Attack Speed items to be more like the D1 Rogue.

Shrines

None. These special facilities were planted by Kashya. If one is triggered, she'll know and she'll send YOU to your death.

Spells

Any single-shot, non-area effect arrow skill may be used. (Magic Arrow, Fire Arrow, Cold Arrow, Ice Arrow) Strafe is ok at slvl 1 once Diablo has been slain.

All skills on the Passive and Magic tree may be used, though Valkyries may only be summoned in Acts 2-5 and only when a monster mob extremely terrible. (They're so bright they may alert Kashya to your presence!)

The Spear and Javelin tree is not used.
