[Tips] Humans are creatures driven more by sentiment than reason. At the same time, they are pitiful creatures that cannot live without their capacity for thought without passion.

It was an odd feeling to have secured such a splendid overall result but not have actually changed the situation for the better.

I wasn’t being cynical or anything. Our operation involved a huge roster of adventurers, and yet of all the people assembled in this one room today, I was the only one who had sustained a major injury, and we hadn’t even managed to raid our base. I wanted to reiterate—this wasn’t coming out of my bitterness that our victory on paper didn’t feel as good as it should!

“Is that everything in your reports?” said Lady Maxine.

On the evening of our city-wide raid, the heads of the participating clans gathered in the reception room of the Adventurer’s Association. We were here instead of that plush room in the Golden Mane because the details of our meeting no longer required conditions of absolute secrecy. In fact, Lady Maxine wanted to make something of an open conspiracy about the matter now that we’d made our move. Although she wasn’t trying to rake the nobles of Ende Erde over the coals, she wouldn’t mind if a few rumors reached designated ears, that perhaps the nobles should pull up their bootstraps a bit or perhaps they should feel a little bit embarrassed for letting some lowly adventurers decide the future of the city.

It bore repeating that Marsheim was chock full of cliques and factions. From info leakers to sleeper agents, the Association had all manner of holes. Even if we said not a single word about our operation outside of these walls, inevitably the details would find their way to relevant ears. This would be further expedited by the innate human urge for gossip. Sooner or later, the news would reach everyone it needed to.

Our manager was particularly talented in this area. Timings were calculated to a tee, pressure was applied, complaints weren’t permitted; the message was always delivered loud and clear.

“Well, not a bad result,” she went on after everyone nodded their assent. “Consider your alcohol expenses for tonight paid by the Association. You did a good job. I might even consider gifting honorary promotions to those adventurers who perished in action.”

Our report for Lady Maxine had skewed generally positive. Several clans had lost a few members in battle—mostly subcontractors in the Heilbronn Familie or the Baldur Clan—but we’d just about met our goals.

Each and every base had been crushed; important pieces had been killed or captured. The ones left alive were probably in very good care right now, having a nice little conversation about their career choices. This little job was being dealt with directly by Lady Maxine—no outsourcing to the Baldur Clan this time—and I expected that her hired mages had given our crooks a really warm welcome.

“While it is well within your remit as adventurers to make merry with a well-earned drink
