That it wasn't a glamorous job, but honest pay for honest work? Yeah, he told me the same thing back when there were only five. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...that city's not very interested in adventurers showing up and bringing strife and violence with them, so they send us here to get rid of us. I'm sure you want to march back there and give him a piece of your mind, but you're not leaving here the same person you came in...this place changes you. I can see some grey hairs already coming in. It's gonna be a long uncomfortable night for you...stay here and we'll help you get through it, it's better than collapsing somewhere out in the wilderness.
A couple of us have gone back to try and get some satisfaction...they more-or-less expect it, and the gate guards are well-trained. It's not worth charging at a fortified city wall and getting pelted with arrows, not when you're a rat freak anyway and no one will think twice about leaving your carcass out there to rot.
There are alternatives...it's actually not so bad here. I can promise you, if you're willing to give us a chance, you won't regret staying and becoming number ten..."
