The Good Man's Assistance Shop: This tall, narrow, one story building houses the office of a temporary employment agency, The Good Man's Assistance Shop. The steps leading up to the front door usually have between 5-8 poorly dressed, but clean, young men waiting, who offer up their services as day workers and personal assistants to anyone who shows an interest or approaches the building. The building is freshly painted, and the window looks in on a small display of a variety of tools, including shovels, picks, rope, measuring sticks, hammers, etc. Upon entering the door, the first room is a simple waiting room with 4 chairs, a ledger on a stand in the corner, a door leading further into the building, and a reception window. Behind the window is a simply dressed middle aged man named Lou (a 2nd lvl fighter who doubles as the shops guard), who asks that all visitors sign in on the ledger, and ask if they are in search of employment or looking to hire someone. Regardless of the answer, he asks for a fee of 3 coppers for the shops assistance. Once paid, he will allow the visitors to pass through the door and enter the office. In the office sits Pierre LaCorbinere, the employment agent (3rd lvl expert). Pierre will interview the visitors and either ask them to wait out front with his other clients seeking employment, or call one of the men in from out front and see if they will fit the needs of a prospective employer. Pierre is nothing more than he seems, a simple man who makes his money from finding and hiring out laborers to those in need of help. His rates for the workers vary from 3 silver/day to 3 gold/day depending on the work to be done (the more dangerous the work or travel involved, the higher the rate). He takes a 10% cut of the wages, and has access to up to 15 workers on half a days notice, and 50 workers on a full days notice.</blockquote>
