However, as time passed, my regular clients became more trustworthy, and for acceptable to my pay. Newer clients, on the other hand, still face the unfortunate task of paying up whatever I manage to push for." He took a sip of his ale. "An exaple would be my latest client, a dwarven mage. He had a few minor jobs he wanted taken care of, and expected me to take his pitiful pay - which was little more than five hundred gold. By the time we'd finished negotiating and the jobs were cleaned up, I walked away with over three thousand." He smirked, taking another sip of ale. "Amazing things can happen when you can control magic at will."
