He reunites with his siblings, those still breathing and not behind bars. Using the gold he gets the family well established. > >The name “Gouda”, once a childish joke between alleyways and backroom brawls, becomes something else entirely. A name that could either bring good coin or a quick death. Business grows. Opportunities multiply. > >After 14 months abroad facing constant danger, strange magic, and unearthing the twisted legacy of a dead wizard, Ratthew finally allows himself a moment to breathe. Being home in [Dolten](Dolten.md) is a rare kind of peace, even in the chaos. With a technique that lets him vanish into shadow, strike without warning, and poison more than just flesh, Ratthew became a threat most would rather avoid. He’s become the answer to every quiet death and vanishing act, whether he had anything to do with it or not. > >Once things get settled, a letter arrives from [Jinzo](Jinzo%20Yawarr.md). With no way to reply across continents, Ratthew sends for a mage and uses sending to respond. His share is waiting. And if [Jinzo](Jinzo%20Yawarr.md) ever finds himself in trouble in [Dolten](Dolten.md), the name Ratthew will carry enough weight to get him out. He also tells him to come visit. > >In the years that follow, Ratthew builds something resembling a life. He meets another skilled rogue, they get married and have many children. He teaches them what he knows. Not just how to fight or hide, but how to watch a room, how to move when no one is looking, and how to strike when no one expects it. The Gouda legacy becomes something more than just gold and muscle, it becomes a method, passed down quietly. He manages the family’s holdings with precision. Smuggling routes, secured contacts, silent favors owed across Dolten. The name "Gouda" opens doors now, and closes others permanently. > >But comfort brings little satisfaction. The gold is nice. The respect is… convenient. But it’s not the same as crawling through forgotten vaults, navigating magical traps, or beating trials of the gods. > >By 40, Ratthew has everything: gold, reach, power, family. >And yet, the edge never dulls. The itch never fades. [Dolten](Dolten.md) sleeps. But Ratthew doesn’t. Not really. Somewhere out there, there is still something worth chasing. > >So one night, with little warning, he packs light, says goodbye, and vanishes down a quiet road heading toward adventure. Just like the old days. His two daggers at his side silent, familiar, and sharp as ever. >He says he will return. >*Because rats survive.* >*And Ratthew doesn’t die easy.*
