"Your membership grants you access to the Guild itself which I will also reveal once you've paid and signed.  Membership grants you the right to take jobs on behalf of the guild, as well as access to our vendors and their ... 'rare' goods and services.  Membership also means that pulling a job will not result in you being found in an alley with your throat cut for taking business away from the Guild.  Any and all jobs you pull require that you give 10% of your profit back to the Guild.  I mean any job, from robbing the archives of the Lyceum to stealing an old woman's daily bread.  We want our 10% whether its a few hundred gold or the heel from that loaf.  That fee goes towards Guild operations and upkeep.  Leadership of the Guild is not something you're in a position to know, so don't even think of asking.  Its hazardous to your health.  As for me, I am your one window to anyone above or below me in the Guild, so stay in my good books and opportunities may open up for you.  Get out of my good books and well ... I've already told you about how a man becomes chum right?  I am also your classic fence, so don't hesitate to use me if you need to sell an acquired item.  We have a number of vendors, but do think of ol' Reece now and again if you're looking to make your best profits.  Now, do you have any questions?"</blockquote>
