The skaa are a downtrodden bunch. The lords are their slave masters. There's a traveler coming through this here plantation. This is a known violation of the laws. If you're a skaa, you have your plantation and you're born there and you are a slave your whole life and then you die. The fact that there's a skaa from another place here is very dangerous. The lords beat and whip the skaa just cause they feel like the skaa blinked improperly. If you got caught sheltering a traveler, it would be much worse.
The traveler is hanging out and they hear screaming. The lord has taken a young woman. The lord let's the women leave after he's has this way with them. But usually those women have accidents a couple weeks later. The traveler decides it's time to do something about this. The traveler has super powers. He kills the lord and all his men and burns his house to the ground.
The skaa at this plantation are gonna make a run for it. Cause when the lords hear about this the odds of them staying alive is relatively low. They're gonna head to the caves in the east. The traveler spoke of rebels being in those caves.
chapter 1 page 19
There is a crime girl, she has luck super power. Her brother abandoned her and so she is into crime for survival. Specifically she works for a scam artist that smacks her in the face a lot. Beats being thrown into a whore house and then being killed by some lord that doesn't want you to have his bastard child.
Chapter 2 pg 28
Super powered murder guy has a name, its Kelsier. Crime girl has a name, its Vin. They are in the capital city of luthadel, which is repeatedly described as horrible. Ash is always raining Down from the nearby volcano. The hbic is called lord ruler (redundancy department in charge of redundancy) and he's immortal.
Vin and her gang leader do a crime. Vin feels like it was too easy. It was, Kelsier is there cause he's heard tale of Vin's power. He knows she's in trouble cause she tried to use her power on the wrong guy and as Vin and her gang leader bad government dudes are following them. Kelsier does something about it.
CH 3 pg 44
Vin is gonna high tail it out of Dodge. But she's caught trying to flee and her gang leader beats her, as the guy with Kelsier says, half out of her senses. That's when Kelsier shows up and kicks some ass. Appearantly he's super famous. The gang is humbled and amazed that he would bother with their lowness. But he's here for Vin and the gang doesn't know what she is. Kelsier tells the second fiddle guy to do bad thing a to the gang leader. Let him live, but make sure its not enjoyed.
Kelsier tells the gang he needs their hide out to plan a heist and its gtfo time for all but Vin. Kelsier explains to Vin that she's an allomancer. He gives her a vial with trace amounts of metal in the liquid. She "burns" some of one metal to do her luck thing, which calms people down. Then she's able to burn a different metal to piss people off. Kelsier explains if she can use two, then she can use all eight metals. She and Kelsier are God Damned super heros and they're gonna use their power to do some shit.
CH 4 pg 61
There's a lots of low theive crews like the one our crime girl Vin is part of. Much more rare are the fancy crews with people that have magic powers like Kelsier (pronounced the french way, Kel-see-ay. I remember it by thinking of that rap song that repeatedly says "Pass the Courvoisier") is in. Periodically they work together. Usually a fancy crew hires a low crew to do grunt work. When this happens a member of the low crew is picked to be the go between for the two crews. The formal name for this position is twixt. Vin is the twixt for this job. The job is nothing less than a complete and utter revolution that will topple the Lord Ruler's government. They gotta get an army and then they gotta get the city guard to leave the city and also the inquisitors and other such magic folk need to be dealt with. Also, Kelsier is gonna kill the Lord Ruler. Also he says Vin isn't just the twixt. She's a new recruit and tells everyone she's a mistborn and everyone is psyched to have another mistborn on the team. Unfortunately, their smoker decides this is crazy and leaves. So they gotta find another smoker.
ch 5 pg 84
They get a new smoker named clubs. Oh wait, its the old smoker. He's come back to double check with kelsier to make sure he's really serious about taking down the lord ruler. He wanted to do that without the rest of the guys to make sure none of them were messing with his feelings. You son of a bitch, I'm back in.
Kelsier needs more rare metal to do his fanciest magic. He's gonna steal it from the top Nobel house. This is an awesome scene displaying all of his kick ass Allomancer powers.
CH 6 pg 104
They do a lot of talking and planning. They're gonna recruit people for the army using one guys magic powers and they're gonna train and hide in caves and they're gonna transport people in canal boats and they've Killed and identity thieved a Nobel person to buy weapons in the south and ship them up here for the revolution. Vin is gonna impersonate a Nobel woman. Kelsier says his brother will deal with the steel inquisition and he must have know he was coming to say it just then cause at that moment his brother shows up and says "like hell I am" and then they go off to have a private word while Vin listens at the door like a creepy creep.
CH 7 pg 128
Vin and Kelsier are going out in the most of night 🌙 to.do some training. He shows her the basics of the basic 8 metals. So eventually she'll be able to do all the cool fighting stuff he did in Chapter Five
