The Croakers

Looking at the list of unassigned house nicknames on the mainAssassins' Guild entry and thinking - this fits.

In my fanfic... Miss Smith-Rhodes is as near as you get to a Discworld "South African" with all the knobs turned up to eleven. (reasoning for this is discussed on her page). South African accents have been described as... well, the comparisons are unflattering. But fire up YouTube, look for examples, and listen. Unkind people might hint that a Rimwards Howondalandian accent is harsh on the ear and could well be likened to the croaking of a corvid bird, or perhaps a Howondalandian version thereof. But it would not be wise to make such comment where Miss Smith-Rhodes could hear you. That litupa she carries isn't just decoration. AgProv (talk) 10:39, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
