Merc Guild

Mercenary hiring hall on the sixth floor of the Desperado Club, charging 1,500 gold per merc per day.

Story so far

Crawler Everly's guide note records hiring four Mercenaries from the Merc guild on the sixth floor of the Desperado Club, at 1,500 gold a day each. The contracts are punishing: dead mercs cannot be looted, and their daily rate must still be paid for the remainder of the floor.

A level-40 orc from the guild proved a significantly better fighter than a level-50 dwarf, who died after being hit by a chair — leading Everly to conclude that guild levels mean next to nothing and the whole thing is a scam.

Sixth-floor Desperado Club institution that rents fighters to crawlers.
