[X] Go claim your reward at the Guild.
'... Sadly it is a rather horrible idea to stay here now that I think about it, I likely just got a kid fired and people are rather unpredictable. best to just go get my reward and then work out where to stay afterwards.'
Once more you sigh, something you've been doing a fair amount of lately now that you think about it, before leaving the crowded inn entirely. As you head outside you are greeted by the sight of a full moon overhead, pale white light shining down and making the scenery around you appear rather serene despite the bustle of a town in it's prime. Your walk back to the Guild is rather relaxing and you would even go so far as to say it was enjoyable day if it weren't for the person standing behind the counter as you enter.
'Why in the name of the Gods is it this lady AGAIN!? Either this a series of coincidences for the century, or this lady is just a creepy stalker. No, you know what? I'm just going to ignore it, don't give her attention and it won't escalate... maybe.'
After pausing for what was probably too long in the doorway you head towards the counter, concerned that no one else is actually here even though it honestly makes sense given few people are willing to work at night. You barely reach the counter before she extends her hand towards you, her charming voice filling your ears as you desperately try not to think about the possibly creepy lady.
"Excellent work Mr. Stitch, we have already received confirmation of your work from the requester as well as his wish to increase your monetary reward. In total that will mean your final payment is two silvers, fifty guild points, and another point to your rank advancement. If you will give me a moment to add that onto your card please."
It takes just a few seconds for her, or whatever it is that handles it, to add the rewards to your card before she quickly hands it back to you with a radiant smile. Absolutely not reminiscent of a serial killer, definitely not.
"And there you go, thank you for your hard work. Please continue to maintain such quality work in the future to further the Guild's name."
You stutter out an agreement as you step away from the counter, store your card once again, and begin thinking about what to do. Sleeping is all fine and good, but maybe you could manage another job before that?
What do you do now?
[] Go find an inn and get some sleep before coming back here.
[] Confront the receptionist about this weird, vaguely creepy behavior
[] Look for new work from the Quest Board.
[] Go purchase something from the Guild Store.
[] Head to the Guild Library.

They Who Seek the Crown (Level One, 10/25) - A title earned by gaining the blessing of the God of War in a chance encounter with his will. It is a boon granted to those who seek to become like Lords, towering above the world with every action and word capable of bringing great waves of change. Currently it is weak and only grants you the power of Domination, but if you grow stronger and perform in a way that meshes with this Boon then perhaps its strength can grow.
Heroes can be Thieves Right? - In the name of Heroism you stole classified information from the Church of War without being caught. Now no innocent souls shall be ended with this dangerous knife, but ... yours might be if you mess up? Slightly increased chance of learning stealth and thievery related skills until discovered, lost if the Sealed Scroll is destroyed.
Ethical Scholar - A scholar's duty is that of facts, numbers, honesty, and boundaries. You have a devotion to the work of the written word that few would follow in the face of potential benefits. You seek simply to perform your work to the best of your ability and stand within the morals of your scholar code, even find yourself compelled to do so.
