ASSASSINS

Killers For Hire

You’re professional murderers—death is your business. In Duskwall, this means extra trouble from the spirit bells and vengeful ghosts. Be prepared!

When you play Assassins, you earn xp when you execute a successful accident, disappearance, murder, or ransom operation.

Do you have any scruples when it comes to who you kill? Is everyone fair game?
