Karl watched them struggle for a few more minutes, then decided to relent and give them a few hints.
"Perhaps you could combine payment methods?
Honestly, I'm not interested in taking unwilling Guild Members. They're just more trouble than they're worth, even if I use Compulsion on them. But we do appreciate treasures and rare skills." He suggested.
The Cleric gave him a thin smile.
"Perhaps we can work something then. The Guild has two treasures, and we can offer you payment on top to make up the difference." He offered.
Karl nodded. "If they're suitable, I don't see why not."
The Elf looked pained, but nodded in acceptance, and the Cleric took the items out of the Guild Storage.
The first was a Mythic-Ranked bracelet, and at first, it didn't look all that special. But when Karl actually looked at with the System interface, that changed immediately.
