Wildfire heard a ruckus in the seasonal merchants bazaar near the front gate of Iron Keep. Caravans of merchants would set up their tents twice a year on the open "kill grounds" leading up the main gate of the home of the Iron Tigers. Wildfire founded and is the leader of the free company of mercenaries. Their specialty was hunting down and killing monsters of all kinds with bounties on their heads. When Wildfire stepped through the huge front gate, she saw a mob chasing what seemed to be a young elf girl. She pulled her axe from it's back harness and ran down the incline that led to the merchants area, calling for the newcomer to come to her as she did. Shadow, the black panther cub, who had been playfully stalking her, followed. The exotic looking girl instinctively knew Wildfire could be trusted, and zipped in to hide behind her. The mob pulled up short before the legendary leader of the Iron Tigers. "You will leave this girl alone; she is under my protection! Anyone here have a problem with that, step up!" Without so much as under breath grumbling the mob quickly dispersed. Shadow gave the mob a parting growl.
