Rover Gang

The Rover Gang is a gang of children led by a battle-scared goblin in the Blackhouse District of Fountainhead. The gang avoids conflict with other gangs preferring to run and evade. The work in the market and crafterton, but always ensure they tithe to the controlling gang and avoid hitting “protected” marks too heavily. Survival for the gang is brains and speed - not brawn.

The children of Fountainhead are less affected by effects of the water than the adults. This left them vulnerable and prone to abuse by those adults who woke up. The Sidhe and other faekin seem to take pleasure in manipulating the children. Those children that survived fled to the forgotten or dangerous areas or clung ever closer to their parents and other trusted adults.

Gorrick gathered up such a collection of kids and formed his own gang. He has lived in the caverns under the city to avoid the water. He strictly drinks liquor, strongly fermented drinks, and heavily picked foods. Salt and alcohol seem to stave off most of the effects. He protects the kids, provides a structure, and uses them to steal for him. The children get to keep a portion of the goods they steal, tithe a portion to him, and the rest is divided among all.

When any of the gang members grow up and begin to lose track of themselves the gang takes them out and dunks them fully. After putting some coin in their pocket the former gang member is left in the market with one of the gang members as a guide. The guide makes sure they are okay on their own and even finds them a inn for food and space in the common room. After a few days most former members become a part of the adult world and the guide will leave them.

During the Legacy of Marak campaign the PCs move into the Blackhouse District of the city to deal with a problem and secure lodgings for themselves. The problem was that a member of the Rover Gang stole the walking stick from Thaogut and Thorne vowed to get it back. A series of trades and mutual understanding of protection helped guard the gang from the larger gangs that controlled the center of the city.
