Yeah looks like they’re sticking their nose into something that isn’t their business, maybe Frigg and the gang will have to teach them the error of their ways…again.
That was the point: they are miffed that someone is getting paid for what they have to do for free (or worse, pay someone else while they go through it)
Here’s an example (though the ‘maximum’ is an exaggeration misuse on the speaker’s part, but the fault of the character rather than the author):
It used to be that you could be paid five ralds for toilet-cleaning and 40 ralds for kobolds. (Numbers made up on the spot for the sake of this example.) Then, the laws changed so that you had to be paid no less than 15 ralds for toilet-cleaning. The non-adventurer is saying “That’s a minimum wage matter, I can’t pay you any less than 15 ralds for anything, but 40 ralds is way above 15 ralds so there’s no problem.”. The adventurer is saying “It’s not a minimum wage matter, /all/ prices go up by 10 ralds, so 5 goes up to 15 and 40 goes up to 50.”.
Again, the numbers are completely non-canonical.
It’s not actually maximum-wage, but the point the non-adventurer is making is that the standard price is way over the new minimum wage, while the adventurer is saying that all prices go up.
(In a separate reaction to the comic, a strong smell of evil regarding the sisters’ behaviour. Ah well.)
this actually makes allot of sense and provides insite into the character, how ever since the toiletcleaner has been a sanctioned job, for longer it could easily be argue’d that if the adventure does not have the papers and proof of authorization then he is scamming not only the guild but the “quest giver” an illegal to say the least transaction and if he wishes to continue in this line of work without guild recognized authorization then he better be ready to accept what ever under the table “hand out” that are available.
as a gm i do this to make the players consider taking quests appropriate to their lvl.. but a stubborn few just feel wronged…and find that dieing is a more purposeful ideal then playing by the rules.
Ah, that was it: it wasn’t a literal maximum wage as the one that could be imposed by the guild (for actual reasons), it was just the pelter’s way of saying “that’s’e max me’s gonna pay ya, and it be far over what I cool pay’ah if mine pelt like it”.
This sounds like a guild problem. I mean, that was what the Adventurers Guild was set up to do – sort out problems like this at the hiring stage when the request for an adventurer was made.
If freelance adventurers want to work outside guild rules then the sisters are free to ‘educate’ them in the ways of love, harmony and rulers with razor sharp edges.
It IS a guild problem. Really though I’m on Nizar’s side for this one. The adventurer seems to be trying to add additional charges not agreed upon by both parties prior to taking the job, and his defense is that “he deserves to be happy” rather than any sort of real legal standing. I mean, if the job posting included paying transportation fees for the carcasses maybe but as it is he’s clearly just trying to tack it on after the fact.
So while I can’t say that the sisters acting on this is a good thing (it’s not their jurisdiction), I don’t think they’re necessarily wrong in their judgement as to the “problem” either. Here’s to hoping they don’t go with the “burn everything” solution, I like complex issues more than black-and-white good-guy/bad-guy plots. Plus if I wanted black-and-sepia morality I’d pay more attention the “real world” part of the comic.
Men in our midsts…but yeah seriously, I am guessing there might be something about this place requiring everyone be happy, honest and helpful or be bruised, beaten and berated. What I like to call the HellBent rule.
In order to sell the idea of an Adventurer’s guild to the House Rulers, Byron had a crash course in Politics 101…Now it’s a matter of being educated in Economics 101.
As for the Sisters, they’re merely teaching Arbitrary Judgements 101…
Ohhhh boy, looks like they’re up to their old tricks again. D:
Yeah looks like they’re sticking their nose into something that isn’t their business, maybe Frigg and the gang will have to teach them the error of their ways…again.
You’d think that getting the crap beaten out of them once would be enough. Looks like perma-death is on the menu! >:D
Frigg will be happy to explain to the Sisters what they’re doing wrong.
Which is mostly breathing in HER town.
Wait, what is going on? Because someone without a uterus mentioned charging for labour?
Most uterus owners don’t get paid for their labor – they hafta pay a doc or a midwife to help them with it.
That was the point: they are miffed that someone is getting paid for what they have to do for free (or worse, pay someone else while they go through it)
Hey sisters – it’s NUN YA BIDNESS
its ok, they ruled on it and decided to (sister) act anyway
Old habits die hard
You mean old abbots.
(“habit” is the term for the headwear of a nun)
No, a ‘wimple’ is the headgear, ‘habit’ is the dress
Maybe they just want to take them to a U.O.H. convention?
Well, nuns are conventional.
Clearly, they are having nun of this.
(I’m sorry, that phrase/pun is overused.)
If you think the Sisters got it bad, consider that it really doesn’t pay to be a Choir Boy either…
First there was Fightopia, now Femtopia!
Looking to punch people in the face for any reason ? Sounds like Friggtopia to me.
I don’t think Frigg is willing to do what they’re about to do to that guy for what he did.
This will not be pretty.
Yup, definitely not enough Kolbolds.
Hm. the art has shifted a smidge towards Erika’s style…
I don’t fully get the pelter’s minimum/maximum wages argument. Feels like it would maek more sense if you echanged the words.
Here’s an example (though the ‘maximum’ is an exaggeration misuse on the speaker’s part, but the fault of the character rather than the author):
It used to be that you could be paid five ralds for toilet-cleaning and 40 ralds for kobolds. (Numbers made up on the spot for the sake of this example.)

I think the point is supposed to be that they’re both talking out their asses about new laws they’ve only vaguely heard about and don’t understand.
Nothing like the delicate role play of a mule and his hunter.
I think they might actually be worse now.
Could be they’re angry for the Kobolds themselves. Tis murder after all.
“You didn’t share your love with the Kobolds. Time to correct that error.”
“Woah now, ladies, no need to get clingy; there’s enough of me to go around!
. . . Ladies?”
The avatar sells it.
So I guess they’re going to pass on that “judgement of cremation” to…everyone?
Betting that the problem is both of them trying to deceive each other.
Men in our midsts…but yeah seriously, I am guessing there might be something about this place requiring everyone be happy, honest and helpful or be bruised, beaten and berated. What I like to call the HellBent rule.
Those kobolds are undersized, now they’ll have to take away his license.
