 (Let's see... ah yes. You are to report to Bear Training Duty. Immediately. )

  So, this is the plan:

-Attempt to get the hounds

-Track down and find Bandit Encampment.

-Attempt to recruit the more competent bandits.

-At the end of the month/job (whatever comes first), get our pay. If he refuses for some reason, discuss whether or not we take over take over.

-If possible, get a Bonus.

  Am I forgetting anything?

After it's over he's more inclined to reward us though, especially if we mention that we'd be willing to help him again in future.

  The above plan says:

-At the end of the month/job (whatever comes first), get our pay. If he refuses for some reason, discuss whether or not we take over take over.

-If possible get a Bonus.

  So as long as he doesn't attempt to deny our pay, we're good. And even then, we still have to discuss if it's even worth the bother right then (although coming back at some point to get our revenge would still be a possibility.)

[PewdsRocks]

I'm not really Interested in a bonus at all I'd rather do the job then humbly thank him and move on. But if you lot wanna try after that's fine.

[TalonisWolf]

 Hey, the bonus might be simply permission to use his settlement as a home base of sorts- a place to store our spoils and/or gather our forces.

  It doesn't need to be money, although money would be fine.

[PewdsRocks]

A home base doesn't really suit wandering mercenaries though. Storing our stuff here means we need to stay nearby.

[TalonisWolf]

 Yes, but we should see if we can take all the merc. jobs in a region, clear it, then move to the next one. This way we don't have a noble here and there to spread our reputation, but whole regions.

  This will help us gather a better reputation and make it easier to recruit and request resources.

[PewdsRocks]

It'll turn every other merc company in the region against us as well, on top of making sure every company in whatever region we move to next will come for our heads the moment we arrive.

If we hog the jobs we force them to come after us or to leave and men who make a living off war are more likely to attack then leave.

Greed is never a healthy approach.

[TalonisWolf]

 No, but establishing a wide-spread reputation as a good set of mercs. is a good approach.

 But you have a point about the other mercs. coming after us... how about we don't take all the jobs, just enough that the region as a whole can vouch for us?  Regardless of what we do, other mercenary companies are eventually going to try to bring us down to get a bigger slice of the pie. Better that we establish a firm presence somewhere so we have a refuge to fall back onto.

[PewdsRocks]

I'm all for establishing a good reputation but we don't need to take many jobs for that we just need the right jobs. For instance our current job will result in the duke, caravans, merchants, traders, travelers and farmers all having reason to like us because the removal of the bandits benefits all of them. That's a lot of mouths spreading the word about us.

This job may pay a little less in direct coin but it's actual benefit to us is substantially higher then the others and we've taken one of the lowest paying jobs which means it'll draw very little attention from the bigger mercenary companies.

Besides, training.
