That was a wild read! Do you think they got paid upfront? Sounds wild to do a job, have the handler die and strand you from far away and then have to put up with BS getting back
They were paid on the way, but when their employer died, so too did their pay! On the way back, they were unpaid, and only survived by looting, extorting, and scavenging along the way.
I don't understand how that would work in those days, wouldn't the employer be carrying all the money with him in the form of coins? If he dies, can't you just take it and split it amongst yourselves?
