Your favourite tavern wench Hroki is doing well. Through exercise, she’s lost weight. She’s gotten a new look via a visit to Riften’s chirurgeon. What she’s not done is ‘caught up’ with you in a while, but she’s happy to remedy that.

Hroki sold off her jewelery & finery to fund advancement of her magical studies. She's learned to transmute two new types of ingot into gold & now she can cast a spherical ward.

Faced with a reliable means to make an endless amount of money, Hroki could well fund her own adventures. As far as she's concerned though, there's no point going anywhere or doing anything unless it's with you.
