Legend
As you're walking down the street, you're suddenly called to from a nearby alley. You turn your head and see a couple of shady looking characters standing there.
"Psst, Holy Man your services are required to help out some friends of yours. You wouldn't forget your debts would you?"
It would seem your dealings with the Ebony Claw Syndicate have caught up with you sooner than you expected. You look around first before going to meet them.
"Ha ha, what's the matter Holy Man, afraid your church friends might find out who helped you succeed in your disagreements with your rivals?" one of them mocks.
"Shut up, and what do you want?"
"Mind your tone Holy Man. Now then, a colleague of ours said that you were a reasonable individual; I still hope that is the case, because some of your faithful are not."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you keep up on your own actions? Your faith is spreading and while we could care less, a merchant that used to pay us protection now refuses to do so, in fact he's been giving most of his excess money to YOUR church."
"So what are you getting at? You aren't suggesting that I discourage this man from this do you? Because if you areĀ "
"No, no, no, that of course we know isn't an option. It was he who came to us begging for protection from the local thugs, otherwise we wouldn't have bothered. In fact, we are fully willing to release him from his obligations, the amount of money he paid isn't nearly enough to kick up a fuss about with your Church. If he labors under the delusion that some nameless God can protect him better than us, then he can have at it. However he still OWES us last month's payment, which he refuses to pay and that is an insult. An insult that will NOT be tolerated."
"So what do you want exactly?"
"We want what's owed us and given that it's YOUR Church's ideology that's caused this, we felt that it should be brought to your attention. So I suggest you either talk to your new convert or pay us yourself. Now you do what you want, but one way or another we ARE going to get what's coming to us."
"How much does he owe?"
"One hundred gold pieces."
