Now that Jorak has spent several months in Rook, he thinks that maybe it's time to stop his wandering. Rook is a far more interesting place than anywhere else he's been, and he feels that it has even more challenges in store as he continues his long journey toward perfection. He would like to give something back to the city that has already given him so much. Living and working in the slums for so long, he has seen how dangerous this area of town can be, not to mention the many dangers that lurk outside the city limits. He comes up with a plan. It will take a lot of time and money, but as the saying goes, the journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step.
He calls in some favors from the various organizations he's performed services for in the past to obtain and renovate an old abandoned building in the Eastern slums. For now it's little more than his personal living quarters, with an attached dojo to continue his training and perhaps take on a few select students. A meager beginning to be sure, but his plans are just getting started...

After several weeks, Jorak has gathered a small group of students, mainly selected from the downtrodden and bullied of the slums' denizens. Using the money he has earned from training fees and getting his students to help with the labor, he spends some time implementing the next part of his plan. He expands his meager accommodations into a proper combat school: he increases the size of the dojo and adds some classrooms, a sanctum and garden for quiet meditation, and a decorative courtyard.

More time passes, and Jorak decides it's time to move his plan to the next stage. He gathers his top five students together for a special meeting.
"Alright boys, listen up! I've had my eyes on you for a while now. You are my most dedicated students, first ones here every day when the school opens and last to leave when it closes. Your training is coming along nicely, and I will reward your dedication with a special offer."
Jorak takes a deep breath. "It's time you learned the truth about this place. It is no mere dojo... I have not just been training you to fight; I have been building you into a team. You've probably noticed, but the slums are a rough place to live, and the guards aren't always the most helpful. So it's up to somebody else to clean up around here, and that somebody else is gonna be us! You five will be the founding members of the Black Boar Squad, tasked with helping out all the little folks in the slums - folks just like you were before you came here. You'll use your training to do jobs for those who need help but who aren't influential or wealthy enough to attract the attention of the guards or adventurers. Over time, there will be others added to your ranks and perhaps there will be bigger jobs, but you five are my first lieutenants. Whaddya say?"
After some consideration, all five of them accept.
"Excellent! Now, for our first job... this dojo is fine for training, but it's not a proper headquarters for a mercenary company. You're going to help me renovate it."
