"Ah thanks for taking the overdue taxes from the goblins. 100 gps and like agreed you will receive half of it."
[party turns to leave]
"Mhm... wait a minute. Are you registred taxpayers somewhere? No? Oh by the word of my lord you're now citizens of his realm and therefore have to pay taxes."
[appraisecheck]
"Now all your magic items and the gold in your pockets sums up to roundabout 150,000 gps and a tenth will go to your new rightful ruler the king"
[Guards surround the party]
"Do you prefer to pay in gold or platinum?"
Bonuspoints if it is a good kingdom and a paladin (or something lawfull) in the party.
