The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Spy
Spies are experts at gathering information. Most of them are actually just paid
informants who are already inside the organization they are spying on. However,
real professionals are brave, highly trained and extremely cunning people who can
infiltrate almost any group, be it the nobility, the inner circle of guilds, criminal
gangs or even Chaos cults, and spy on them for months or even years. This is an
extremely demanding and dangerous job, as spies who are caught are waiting for
an unenviable fate.
