Life on the road is all that matters to the Vagabond. the freedom of not being tied to any one place or the drudgery of the life of a peasant, burgher or even that town guard or innkeeper. They sometimes stay in places long enough to earn coin, but sooner or later the road calls to them with something better just over the horizon. The world can be a harsh place however so Vagabonds are happy to travel with others forming groups for better protection. The law and nobility has little love or time for vagabonds often seeing them nothing more than petty criminals.

While much work is done day to day you have a knack for finding those that only last a short while, letting you get back on the road. Many of the jobs you find are messy, dirty, legally suspect and don't pay that well but it is enough for you to get a place to sleep, food in your belly and a little extra to let you keep traveling. You can typically find small jobs within a day that let you earn a small amount of coin, a meal and/or a place to sleep for your efforts.
