Shadows of Dominus Chapter 01: Secret Files
Pyrus is guessing that the golem's "yes" answers his question as well.
"Well dang. 100 'healthy' people won't be so easy to scoop up after all."
He scoops up one of the KO'd guys, expecting someone else to handle the second, and heads with the group back toward the ship.
Once out of hearing distance of the golem, he answers Joe, "I'm guessing the goddess worded it that way to cover contingencies like, 'Here's your 100 people, you worthless, ugly, excuse for a deity.' I'd refuse the deal if someone were like that, but I've heard that even criminals have to honor their verbal contracts even in the face of rude customers or else their name is mud. So on top of being stuck with having to do business with people they hate, they have to punch their customers for the insult lest they be called wimps. Then the customer escalates and what could have been something as simple as, 'I won't do business with potty-mouths' turns into a shoot-out.
"I say this because most dark deities in games don't bother with verbal loop-holes and just blatantly go back on their promises saying stuff like, 'You were a fool to think I would honor the agreement! And a worm like you cannot do anything about it!' But there were admittedly one or two that were such sticklers for wording that one claimed, 'I am the deity of Time Itself!' because of a grammatical error in the treaty between the gods."*
