The Court Wizard ran into my room, his robe covered in burn marks.
"I need your list of the best mercenaries we know, the world is at stake!"
I paused as I reached for the right scroll.
"Shouldn't I get the list of heroes of the realm?"
He shook his head.
"No, they're liable to throw their lives away in some heroic sacrifice and end up screwing everything up. Those who work for money are motivated to keep going so they can spend it! And this creature surely doesn't understand commerce!"
And it didn't, but it did understand illusion creation.
