Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leif" data-source="post: 4399269" data-attributes="member: 48762">Lord KyleTo Capizzio, Lord Kyle says, "The thing is that I have no interest in receiving these ears, these grisly trophies of which you speak.  So why would I pay to receive them?  I have made an offer of compensation for the work that I find to be quite generous.  If you insist upon removing the ears of the hobgoblins that have occupied the keep, then you are certainly free to do with them as you choose.  Perhaps you could find a taxidermist in town who will be willing to buy them from you?  I would really rather not issue such an order.  My thirst for blood does not equal yours apparently.  I would just as soon have the hobgoblins alive, but relocated.  What concerns me is that I be placed back in possession of the keep.  If you are able to accomplish this goal without actually slaying even one hobgoblin, then that will be perfectly acceptable to me and you will have earned the money that I offered."But he continues, ""However.....I do not wish to be uncharitable to your counter-offer and your idea.  If the group prefers the bounty, then I will pay a bounty of 4 gp for each hobgoblin for which you present proof is no longer troubling me.  However, as the Lord here, all such proof is subject to my judgment and my say on the matter is final.  The proof is only adequate if I am convinced that it is adequate.  And no bounty will be paid for any other creature, yet the keep must be restored to my possession and control.  Is that arrangement more to your liking?  I must insist that you make your choice now.  Which will it be?  Do you trust my fairness and judgment for what the job is worth, or do you think that you, knowing nothing of the keep or those who now occupy it, are better able to shrewdly judge the task's worth?"</blockquote>
