Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to The Way of The Blade Adventurers' Guild.
I am Rufus, Guild Patron & one of the founding members of the guild. With me are Azrael (Guild Syndic), Jenz (Captain-of-the-Guard). Other important members of the guild include Lady Auriel, a lady of obvious distinction, Brand (Dwarven warrior), Daedalus (Loremaster and scribe), & D'Artagnan (guardian of the guild's manse).
The terms of membership in the guild are as follows.
All are welcome to join.
There are no guild dues, enrolement fees, or other membership costs.
All spoils & earnings of the guild are divided equally among participating members of that campaign, with the guild retaining 10% for operating costs & bonuses for acts of heroism.
Officers participating in a campaign receive double shares.
The guild house is the manse of the Guild Patron, Rufus. He owns the property, however, all members are welcome to stay as long as they like--there is plenty of room--and a well-stocked larder (our chef is the best within this Barony).
The guild library is available for members' use. All are encouraged to donate informative books or even leisure reading.
The guild maintains contacts for information not otherwise available to our Loremasters or library.
The guild maintains contacts with quality armorers, purchasing agents, artificers, fences, alchemists, mages, & importers, to buy and sell nearly anything needed by its members for a campaign. A variety of sources is used to keep costs reasonable.
The guild prefers to use the elite skills of its own membership, but will hire outside labor if needed for a single campaign. Many of our finest members have joined after such employ.
We run a variety of campaigns, both long and short term. Any qualified guild members who wish to participate on a given campaign may do so, with shares given as above.
