"What you are asking of me is certainly not possible. The guild can't let an assassin who has already been sent to a mission go unrewarded for it. Especially for a mistake rising from a staff's greed."
Balmond, the Guild Manager, finished as he looked at a frail looking staff with narrowed eyes. He was the same who had given away my quest to someone else.
I stood beside him, facing the manager with a nearly contained frustration.
What was supposed to be a simple quest had now turned into a web of complexities, its threads tugging at the peace of my mind each with their own demands. This was really an excruciating process.
Sighing for what might be the hundreth time, I asked. "And as an assassin, what would be my compensation now that my quest has been taken away by someone else?"
"Unfortunately...we can't give you any monetary compensation. But if you want, the guild could provide you with another quest."
