(Back to Red's perspective)
.....
Just as I expected, I saw all the players in the world cradling around the obelisk and reading the damned quest. They cannot let this opportunity slide since the reward would give them one billion gold coins for beheading the king and another billion gold coins for kidnapping each family member.
I knew that the game developers would reward them with the gold, not from me. The rules said that all NPCs had the right to request any quest with a corresponding reward. It did not matter how much or how little the rewards would be given to the players as long as it was indicated in the mission. It did not show here if the NPC were the ones to pay someone with their money or not.
I did not return home with Match for now, since the players had already swarmed the citadel. She knew that I would return to the inn later this evening, so I had all the time in this world to proceed with my goal.
