Another song that inspires a RQ question:
"Oh she was fione, that sweet bonny lass,
Like a fair ship on the sea --
But how I regret the day we first met,
For oh how that maid plundered me!"
The song in question tells the story of a hotel chambermaid who raised her dowry by conning visiting seamen, soliciting gifts from them and making them believe she was available, while denying theim their "reward" by means of improbably and embarassing "coincidences".
What sort of skills, and at what levels, would a successful con artist need in MRQ? what sorts of dangers would they face? And how could someone skilled in manipulation and deciet, as opposed to combat skills or breaking & entry, be useful to an adventuring party?
