\page ## Discreet Tradesmen ### The Underworld Inventor In the darkest, dirtiest alleys of the city, it is said that you can find just about anything you need, and a guy for just about any job. Odds are, if you're looking for a solution that can't be solved by magic, muscle, or personal charm, you're likely to find it in the basement workshop of one of these brilliant, if somewhat unhinged, minds. The underworld inventor is a provider and a problem solver. Most customers will walk in the door with a problem and walk out with some strange contraption and a significantly lighter coinpurse. Because of this, the inventor will rarely get its hands dirty, but when it does, it becomes a walking arsenal, equipped to escalate, end, or escape any situation. The signature weapon of the underworld inventor is the grappling bolt, which is fired using a heavy crossbow. The bolt is attached via cord to a very powerful winch that gains a charge as it becomes unwound, allowing it to reel the cord back in with great force. This device is very heavy and slows the inventor down, but allows for potentially greater mobility and many other uses.
