This is an intern position and as such you'll gain valuable experience as the meat puppet of an Old One (that's Us), perfect for a bright future as a deranged cultist, mad sorcerer, or insane alienist! A stipend will be provided so your fragile material body doesn't waste away over the duration of your internship.

Galapagos Finches are preferred, though not required.

We look forward to reviewing your applications.

Laaaaaaaame. This is the wall not a college bulletin board. Don't offer internships. Cash, jewels, something, worthwhile.

The thing is, there's no organization to it. Never has been. The teeming masses of problem-solvers just find jobs, often with disreputable employers. Sometimes they're thoroughly unprofessional and fail or betray their employers.

One would think someone should do something about it, and one would be correct. Which is where we come in. The Neutralist Organization has been working for the people of the Nexus for years - never taking sides, completing contracts and gathering experience and information. That means we have the experience, contacts and resources to change the current unfortunate state of affairs.

From now on, the Neutralist Organization will start issuing Official NO Licenses in an effort to finally bring the adventuring and mercenary industry to order.

Any mercenary, adventurer, bodyguard, troubleshooter or another person who works by solving people's problems for money on a contractual basis will be free to receive one in our offices in Inside and Riverside or our base in the mountains. The license will come with several benefits:

  • Discounts in Erin's Emporium, Azik's Enchantments, Trog's Tavern and Black Dragon's Den
  • Access to job offers and opportunities in our offices
  • NO's support if an employer tries to cheat them out of the money they're owed - NO will make sure they're paid what they can expect based on the contract, and mark the employer as untrustworthy
  • Access to NO's information-gathering services for a reduced fee.


In exchange, the holder of the license will pay NO a percentage of the profit they earn for the jobs they take, whether they are one-time adventures or longer contracts, such as bodyguard jobs.

Of course, we're not doing it just to provide people services for a cut of their profits. No, the purpose of this campaign is to introduce order and professionalism into the mercenary population of the Nexus. As such, the license will be revoked upon following conditions:

  • Attempting to claim the reward when the job has not been completed
  • Turning on one's employer while still bound by a contract
  • Engaging in capturing, keeping and trading of slaves
  • Working with or for the terrorist organization known as AMEN
  • A glaring breach of the professional standards and competence expected from our licensed mercenaries


Needless to say, we will only be issuing licenses to those who meet the standards of conduct and competence the people of the Nexus deserve when they pay to get something done.

Remember - morality is relative. Professional standards are not.
I've always been more of a scavenger than a merc, but this entire thing strikes me as super meh, on one hand union's are important and useful in this sort of thing, that protection thing especially, but a union run by a mercenary band should make anyone wonder exactly where union dues go.

My advice to those signing up, learn where your money goes, demand NO's receipts, and demand voting rights. I can not stress that last one enough. People run the system, not the other way around.
