The humid Roanapur night clung to the docks as you arrived, flanked by the irritable Revy. Balalaika stood waiting, a dark silhouette against the harbor lights, flanked by scarred veterans of the Afghan war. The air crackled with tension. Revy, cigarette dangling, stepped forward, her dual pistols drawn in a silent threat. Balalaika exhaled a plume of cigar smoke, her eyes cold and calculating, dismissing the mercenary’s presence with a sharp glare. The standoff was palpable, a delicate balance of violence and diplomacy hanging over the water.
