He says in greeting, nodding his head to each of you.  His grey hair hangs loose and his rough beard add to the look of a veteran.  He shifts uncomfortably in his high backed wooden chair as he looks from Sir Lornem to each of you. "Sir Lornem has given me a quick version of the events in the alley as well as your desire to work with him in bringing these creatures to justice.  In some circumstances we hire mercenaries when we believe that a mission such as this one needs more muscle than the Order can bring to bear.  Therefore on Sir Lornem's council I would like to offer you each two choices, should you choose to join him in his mission.  "First, those of you who would like to sign our standard contract for mercenaries may do so.  The pay is 1 queen (gp) per day, doubled at the end of a successful contract.  Hazard pay is also stipulated, covering bounties for creatures and rates for special circumstances.  This contract will be for a period of two weeks, though we can renew it if that is necessary following that period.  "The second option is for you to join our Order as associates.  As an associate of the Order of the Axe you will be given a share in any bounties and salvagable equipment that you encounter.  In addition we can work together in the future and provide you with a source of information and security.  The Order, as some of you might know, is usually interested in furthering the human cause.  But here in the north we take a more open view of things and try to provide justice and security for those who cannot provide for themselves, those sometimes forgotten by the Giants.  Our members are largely human, but some faen and sibeccai grace our ranks."The choice is yours.  Alternatively, if you would like to back out of this venture, now is the time to do so.  Here are the mercenary contracts for each of you, just let me know if you would like to choose the second option."Sir Trynn finishes, placing four sets of paper on the desk, one in front of each of you.  Sir Lornem waits patiently, eager to move on.</blockquote>
