Mercenary Markets
Mercenary Market
Where vanished hired mercenaries may be tossed back after the floor ends, rather than into storage.
Story so far
The hired mercenaries, including Sledge and the other surviving Cretins, along with the for-hire dungeon-born mercenaries fielded by all teams, would simply disappear when Zerzura triggered.
Carl guessed they would either be moved into NPC Storage for the next crawl or tossed back into the mercenary market to be hired out again. Either way, none of them would follow the crawlers to The Twelfth Floor.
Role
The dungeon's hiring hall, and one of two suspected destinations for mercenaries whose contracts lapse with the floor.
