<strong>"There's silver coins",</strong>Paco confirmed.<strong>"10 silver for 1 gold, 10 copper for 1 silver. Marc's NPCs don't charge an exchange fee".<br/>"Yeah, but if you ever find yourself counting coppers, you're either too stingy, or you seriously sucked at adventuring",</strong>Marc added.<br/>Paco sighed.<strong><br/>"I turn to Gwyn and ask...If it's not wolves, what do you think might be killing people? Why would anyone make up such a cover story? And even if it's an uprising, we'd better be more numerous! I couldn't get many men-at-arms, since finding them would be an expense in itself...but I'm willing to pay it with the proceeds from my latest adventure. As long as anyone else is commanding them, that is",</strong>he said.<strong>"Let's go to a tavern. I'll slip some gold to the bartender, and buy a round of drinks to whoever he tells me to..."<br/>"It's a keep",</strong>Marc warns him.<strong>"You're unlikely to get much of a choice."<br/>"I just need wolves fodder, because I don't want to become wolves fodder myself",</strong>Paco shrugged.<br/>Marc looks at him and nodds, giving him the go-ahead.<br/><strong>"Well. Ugly will lead them to a tavern, and hiding his face behind his cape, pays off the bartender to show him who needs his throat wettened in exchange for information. Then he'd push Master Kim...no, wait, nobody's going to believe that stick-in-the-ass is buying the drinks! Instead, I push Mistress Gwyn forward, and let her explain that she's buying drinks, and needs mercenaries. I'll just pass as an...advisor, or whatever."<br/>"Doing everything you can to avoid the Charisma penalty, aren't you?",</strong>Marc smiled.<br/><strong>"Wouldn't you?"</strong><br/>The DM shrugged and rolled a few dice behind his screen. "Well. Does anyone object to that plan? If not, we can go ahead with it."
