[QUOTE="Skaros, post: 945573, member: 1401"] Well, as someone DMing (actually the same module, with a group at the exact same point, no less) a group, if I knew the PCs were going to go out thief hunting, I'd arrange one (or more, depending on where you are looking) candidates as interesting, distinct NPCs. Then see who the PCs choose to discuss terms with, and roleplay the NPCs based on their personalities and alignment. Obviously, a thrill seeking rogue out looking for the adrenaline rush of life in an adventuring band is going to be less demanding on price than, say, a penny pinching treasure-hoarding rogue that is reluctant to join any group unless the contract is very much written in his favor. Such considerations aside, I think rogue would be one of the more expensive types of hirelings...the demands on them usually involve scouting, trapfinding, and trap disarming....3 very dangerous asignments. I suggest an average rogue demand a share and a half of the treasure obtained from his searching, with a minimum set high enough to make it worth his while even if nothing of value is obtained.
