Correction, Devaguea lacked FIVE limbs to help him balance. The tail and wings were limbs too. It took several days of work to just learn how to walk properly, let alone dodge and avoid like he would need in combat, but it was something he HAD to do. After all, he might end up having to fight in a space too small for his full size soon, and reverting would either be not an option, or an active hinderance.<br/><br/>The dragon lordling listened to his advisor's concerns, and met each one, actually pulling out a separate parchment that had answers to many questions and problems he could think of. To be fair, he had had several months to think, and they were responding off the cuff. Naturally, they wouldn't be hiring just ANYONE, as most of the rogues were basically bandits in his town.<br/><br/>He then laid out his ideas to them, assuming the best case scenario, which he knew he wasn't going to get. Nor would he get it any time soon. He also mentioned that any potential new hires would be checked by all three security agencies, and any issues meant they would be talking to them and Devaguea at the same time. If Devaguea didn't like the answers, the next new hire would be talking to them over the ashes of the failed hire.<br/><br/>Taxes - people now register their homes and pay for the individuals living in it; a task force of both guards and rogues spot check random houses in plain clothes, ensuring the registered number of individuals live in the residence, or that the business is performing listed services. If found to be in violation of taxes by underpaying or misrepresenting their dues, a registered tax accountant will perform a spot check, and give the violators a chance to correct their mistake. If they refuse or keep misrepresenting themselves, thieves are allowed to burglarize the location of luxury classed items (there is a list). Thieves must provide a list of assets taken, and turn them over, before being given a cut of the proceeds, remaining assets are deducted against due and future taxes after the fine has been paid. If not enough can be found, individuals are given state jobs, or sentenced to hard labor if they refuse to work state jobs.<br/><br/>Crime - rogues act as scouts and informants to the actual guards, and assist in deterring crime. If unable to detercrime, they would help find and assist the guard in apprehending the criminals.<br/><br/>Penetration Testing - Rogues semi-regularly conduct penetration testing on defenses, and report findings. This can include actual physical issues, personnel issues, but may not actually hurt individuals.<br/><br/>Thieves’ guilds - Only state sponsored guild is allowed, guards assist with breaking up gangs and guilds. Individuals can either join the state guild, or be escorted to the edge of the kingdom and told to leave. Those linked to actual crimes instead serve sentences of hard labor before being escorted to the kingdom’s border. Repeat offenders are branded and then exiled. If found again, executed as bandits.
