The Mercenary's Guild

Someone pissing all over your hut's front lawn? Is someone smart-mouthing the trader? Is there an elephant attacking your loved one? Is there a hut that needs freeing? Is there a parrot kicking your ass while you wander drunk in the jungle? Do you need a project sabotaged? Well, you came to the right place.

To put it simply, the Mercenary's Guild is an open group for mercenaries traveling together in a small band doing both good and evil deeds in exchange for gold.

History

Back in the day, The Malice was a kind-hearted man. He came over to Shartak with a batch of survivors who ended up founding Durham. Soon it turned out that there was to be a road connecting the settlements of York and Durham. The Malice set out to help with the road-building when he noticed that a large amount of people appeared to be identical! How odd! He killed one and so started his serial-killing days, dashing onto the road and killing those who worked on it. Eventually, The Malice gained his current nickname - because he was a Malice.

A few days after he started killing those on the road, he noticed someone named Wojciech who shared his ideals. Wojciech turned out to be a friend of The Malice from long ago, so they joined together and united efforts against the road. They smashed roadmarkers, obliterated directions carved on trees, and urinated on the road in a (futile) attempt to have it grow back. The road was finished although severely delayed thanks to the two menaces no matter how hard they fought against it, and Wojciech and The Malice found themselves with nothing to do. After twiddling their thumbs a bit, they decided to call a truce with the highwaymen and entered the settlement of York - ironically, The Malice got a bit lost on the way there even though he was following a road. York appeared to be under attack from Pirates and Native villagers alike so the two fought side by side with their old enemies against a new, more coordinated force. When they had a super-secret meeting in the middle of a packed Armoury, someone mysteriously over-heard their plans of sneaking into the jungle and killing random people and asked to join their group.

After a few more days, the trio decided to just stay in York a bit longer, get refreshed, and become full-time mercenaries instead of pillaging bandits. A few hours later and they decided to just make it formal, so the first Mercenary's Guild of Shartak was created.

Goals

The Mercenaries have no goals in particular. They fight evil and good alike and there are only a few things they shy away from doing. They stay together in a close-knit group of friends and go where they want until someone hires them to do a job - in exchange for gold, of course. Lots of pretty shining gold.

WAR

The Mercenary's Guild is currently in a state of war after the following message was discovered.

Carved on the side of a hut is mercenarys suk, try the shadow league for assassinations

All members of the Mercenary's Guild are urged to kill any and all members of the Shadow League until the Shadow League either disbands or yields and an apology is proclaimed.

Although we realize that a group without a wiki page (Shadow League - see? Red.) is not an actual group, this is more a declaration of war because of the insult. The Mercenary's Guild does not believe in "whacking the opposition," and although this group may appear to be in the same business, the declaration of war is not for this reason.

You scratch out what was carved there before. You carve The Mercenary's Guild declares war upon the shadow league and all of the shadow league's members will be murdered brutally upon sight. See wiki for details. onto the side of a hut.

Note to members of the apparently nonexistant Shadow League: We look forward to burying our machetes and cutlasses in your innards.

Note: While surveying the area around the hut, it appears that all other huts have been defaced as well - or at least the ones around the Trader's Hut. Czechy's tavern, the Trader's Hut, and two buildings around them were all defaced. The Trader's Hut now says "fish" and Czechy's Tavern now displays "screwball tavern." All of these vandalism occurrences are believed to come from the same person who defaced the hut with the Shadow League's nonsense. Do you really want to hire the aid of someone who childishly defaces huts? I didn't think so either. Unite against this common enemy!

Current Missions

The MG has received two job offerings already, one public and one top-secret. The group is restocking and gaining members at an incredible speed and is contemplating both offers - something that takes a while now but won't in a day or two when we're all settled down.

Past Missions

To delay and possibly cease the construction of the York/Durham road. Mission succeeded in the delay sense, failed in the cease sense.

Payment Plans

• As we can't trust everyone, we can refuse service to whomever we wish for whatever reason we wish, although this is unlikely.
• We will need gold paid before the deed (half or less) if the mission is incredibly dangerous or if we simply don't trust you - our discretion, along with the remainder of the gold after the mission is completed successfully.
• People who do not cough up will be killed on sight.
• A meeting place will have to be arranged for the payment. This can be done before or after the deed.
• Jobs far from where the MG is currently (for example, if you want them to fight at Derby and they're at York) will make the price increase.
• The paid gold will be divided equally amongst the members. When the number of gold does not divide equally the leftover amount will be given to the mercenary who did the most work - for example, if the job was to kill a group of survivors, and everyone killed one and one person killed two, the leftover gold will be given to that person, although everyone else will get a reward too. Mercenaries who repeatedly do nothing will have their share of gold revoked until they work for a living.

Do's and Dont's

The MG does not shy away from much, but there are a few things it will not do:

• The Mercenary's Guild will not zerg or use multiple characters owned by one person to complete its

goals.

• The Mercenary's Guild will not attack its own for any reason, paid or not.
• The Mercenary's Guild will not... Well, that's pretty much it. Ain't that somethin'?

The list of things we DO do (ha!) is much, much longer. If you've got a question on whether a job is too tough for us, just give us a shout on our discussion page. I won't list them all here, because there's unique jobs for every occasion.

'Note: We don't care about politics. If someone asks us to kill somebody we don't ask why, we ask how much he can offer. We are also 100% confidential. Terms of any deal wont be given to any third party, especially if he's a target in this deal.'
