Oh, I want to, believe me. But every single time I pluck up the courage, my dear old brother's tortured screams echo in my mind. And that's when I remember that perhaps a lack of sunlight and the odd back-pain grumble from Crumblejon isn't such a bad thing after all. Not compared to my fate that lurks in the fogs... I mean sure, its easy to throw out suggestions, captain obvious, but talking about it is much easier than doing it..

–Shryke, on asking why she doesn't leave
Shryke is a Unique Recruit. She is a treasure hunter stranded in Mongrel. She seems to have had a brother who didn't make it into Mongrel, most likely captured and eaten alive by the innumerous hordes of fogmen surrounding the town. She has a scar on her hand that she may have gotten getting into the fog town, or from an older expedition.
She will leave with the player for free, but is more hesitant when there are less than 3 members in the player squad (she will join you regardless).
They wear <span style="color:#Shoddy">[Shoddy] armour (5% chance of <span style="color:#Standard">[Standard]).
She has a Smart Personality and after recruited has the "Player TOUGH Merc" dialogue package. She also has 5 unique dialogue lines, 3 of which are exclusive to her.

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on that small fortune...
Pretty sure the Tech Hunters cleared the island out long ago though, last I heard.
The Statistics here are taken from FCS. Skills will be multiplied by the racial multiplier. Players should also be aware that non-player characters also level up while fighting.
Trivia
