Rumors

For my Kardallin's Palace campaign, I've added a rule to the system for finding mercenaries.
In addition to spreading word in search of employment, I'm allowing players to infest the rumor table at Port Town's most popular tavern, the Roaring Dragon. For 2 gp, there is a 3 in 6 chance that a character can talk up the regulars and insert a new rumor into the table.
I had this idea when the player of Frederick, the M-U in the campaign, expressed in interest in setting up shop at a statue to Set that charmed passersby into leaving cash there as a donation to the church. As befits a thoroughly Chaotic mage, he's interested in conning his fellow adventurers into leaving behind offerings for his personal enrichment.
With a game run at lunch at the office, there's the potential to have several parties venturing into the same dungeon.
So, we'll see how this goes...
