Payment In Full...

The adventurers guild rep looked up at Tellerick over the top of his half-moon glasses. "And what can I do for you today master Tellerick?"

"I need a guard to travel to see the Oracle." The rep sighed heavily. "Guild payment in full, up front."

"What?"

"Guild policy changed last week from payment-on-delivery." Tellerick sighed, and reached for his money pouch.

"How much?"

"The only guild member available at the moment is Madam Whitesnow. She's by the big fireplace. She's a gold a day." Tellerick glowered at him.

"Is she good?"

"Yes sir. Of course she is."
