        In mine, they have exactly one. I presumed the character 'SnakeFang' to be one. And he can't necessarily do all the things mentioned in the Lanbril writeup either. And certainly not for anyone. I also assume he wasn't trained in Pavis.

        I've often wondered exactly HOW this advanced criminal culture managed to arise, where the thieves had their own alchemists and artificers. I assume it must have arisen in some large urban centre where the thieves have had it good for some time. Probably Nochet.

        I've been playing most of the Pavis gangs pretty much this way. The Black Fang cult is certainly a lot like the Mafia.
