Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit
Smith seemed unfazed by the mysterious cloaked figure's behavior. The frontier seemed to attract the socially awkward. Instead, he answered the elf's questions, taking a deep breath before launching into a spiel he seems to have practiced lately, "For safety's sake, I recommend groups of at least four, and for my pocketbook's sake, I will pay for no more than five. There are three shifts, of approximately 8 hours each, staggered for as much coverage as possible. Wages start at 20 per person, per shift, an extra five for third shift. If you kill any beasties, those are yours, too. Ask Jessop what he's offerin' for monster bits. Job is simple, go from watchtower to watchtower, get a guard to sign a scroll I'll provide. Go around twice, come on back, money's yours. If you run into anything unexpected, use yer judgement. Want the job, sign the contract, and a waiver saying your kin can't blame me if you don't make it back here, and leave after lunch. You'll be the first patrol of second shift, but for simplicity, we'll call you patrol group 3. Oh, and if you like, you could take two shifts in a day, but don't overdo it. As fer living expenses, until the inn is built, it's 1 gold a day for food and a cot in the town hall. If you want a house built, my prices are posted. I'm willing to advance the cost of construction against your future wages, but make sure you save enough to get by."
OOC: The full details of lifestyle expenses are in the "Rules and Character Creation" thread, and building costs are in the "Jessop's Shop and Erret's Construction" thread.
