Padraig MacTire:
Ah, he hasn't failed to pay runt!
It's just not happened yet.
Runt will definitely get paid!
<SNIP>
OOC:
GM-> How much do we owe runt precisely anyway? I might be mistaken, but this was a venture for the 'guild' to take control of the palace for Malcolm (or whatever their own reasons are, I suppose), so I assume Padraig isn't being solely held accountable for payment.
The player, that is me, doesn't care but the character, Runt, does care and does remember this stuff. He might be uneducated but he does have a good memory, especially about money and what he owes to other people and what other people owe to him. As far as how much he believes he is owed - in the IC thread (while they were still in the warehouse) Runt asked for 1 penny per bottle (msg #230) and Padraig agreed to pay that (msg #232). Later at the abandoned house, the Guildsman promised at least a gold each for Runt and Leesha (msg #253), though he won't nag the Guildsman about it.
