3man i think we are outnumbered here what do we do! I don't want to die i'm to handsome and young to die why world why !!!!! 

Prophet your so cute and that's coming from a dude. (Hugs)

Let's join them!

Nah, let's not take anyplace over.

There's a large amount of disparity between our general expenses and how much cash this job is worth. Killing bandits is risky for us. Let's just ask for more money, or negotiate a kill bonus per dead bandit.

Well then he's got a lot to lose. He'll have no other choice, but we won't be dicks and make it an ultimatum. We'll explain that it's because we really need the cash, that we'll be making no profit, and that we're likely to have casualties after this.

+1 I think he'll accept; especially since we're good trackers and foresters. We have the best chance of eliminating some bandits, far better than run-of-the-mill sword and spearmen.

Guy's the raiders have all sorts of stolen goods in the camps. We might not be paid much but the duke made no mention of returning the spoils . We'll make plenty of money. But we shouldn't split up to go scouting with so many bandits around and the fact that they know the terrain they could ambush us easily and 5 scouts and us won't even put up a fight they'd slaughter us, if we had large numbers then sure we could afford the risk but 5 of our men is a lot of men to lose not to mention even if they find the enemy it serves no purpose if they need need to spend several days just coming back to us and leading us back.
The enemy could easily have moved on by then, we need to be able to attack immediately.

He did say that he's almost bankrupt as well, and us asking for more money for a job after we accept it and sign the contract is going to make us look very bad and seriously hurt our chances of getting any good jobs in future, especially when we're going to get plenty from selling off all the goods stolen from the caravans.
Nobody is going to want to hire us if they think we're going to turn around and ask for more money after we accept a job.

You don't just take a job, accept your initial payment then come back and ask for more after, once you sign the contract that's it you do the job as agreed. If you want more you negotiate first not after.

[TalonisWolf]

 Alright, that's a fair assessment. But borrowing the Duke's Houns is still fair game- it's in his best interest to give us a means of tracking them down easily and  more importantly, swiftly.

[PewdsRocks]

Yup sounds good, we'd have to find the tracks first but they'd be helpful after that.

It's fun playing devil's advocate.

[Parsely]

We have the right to negotiate, being new here and having fully assessed the situation after accepting the job. There's nothing wrong with that.

[3man75]

Bump

[PewdsRocks]

Actually no, you don't. You negotiate your price before you take the job. You don't take the job, take his money then tell him you've changed your mind and want more afterwards. Get a new job then the day after you start tell the manager you want a raise.

You'll get a 2 letter answer.

[Parsely]

Lol this is not the same. Its also more of an agreement, I don't think we signed any paper. EDIT: never mind we did!

Still we didn't  exactly get a chance to negotiate or mull it over. The GM accepted for us. :p
