Slayers don't get a stipend for doing their job.And as for "respect"... well, Slayers aren't really adored. They are dangerous people doing dangerous jobs and have a reputation for rowdiness, which is enough to make most people wary of them. They are appreciated when they have helped someone out, of course, but they won't get freebies just for being Slayers - in fact, prices often tend to rise sharply when they are around.Which is why smart villagers should insist on payment upon completion of the job. Furthermore, if the village is poor and can't offer much in the way of payment, the Slayer is still expected to help out - though if he is helping more prosperous folks, he is entitled to "appropriate compensation" if they can afford it.Well, if he dies during the job they won't have to pay him, unless they negotiated badly.Mostly people try to stay out of such squabbles, or else suggest some monster they could hunt down to prove which one of them is real.</blockquote>
