It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Beauregard Lionett called Beau, a human monk . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Caleb confronts Fjord about his wager in the card game with the Gentleman. Fjord says it was his funds, not the party's, and Caleb tells him he is okay with calculated risks.
DM: "Generally, no. Most of the folks that work with the Gentleman and that we work for are well-paying because they're well-off. Some of them aren't the most moral, either. We don't do anything that hurts the folk that don't deserve it. At least from what I know. We don't kill, we don't murder. We just move and sell and deal in various goods that aren't perfectly legal."
Player: Did Ulog and Dolan know about your involvement with the Gentleman?
DM: "No."
Player: All right, here's my question. Ulog was in against the High-Richter. That was his motivation. Dolan wanted to get after Lord Sutan for running him out of his practice.
DM: "Right."
Player: What did you get out of all this?
DM: "Well, if I have a friend that makes it high in the political chain of the city-- Dolan-- and I have the ear of the Gentleman, that's a mighty powerful ally to the underworld without that ally knowing."
