Everyone wants to be the hero, but what if you're just the hireling?
One cold and rainy evening, Martin of Kirkwood finds himself in the company of four adventurers in need of some assistance. Unsure of his future and smitten with Sasha, the leader of the adventuring party, Martin agrees to join their band as they venture into the wilds in search of a marauding troll.
When the adventurers discover a large warband of hobgoblins and ogres marching out of the north, what was first a simple monster hunt is now a battle to defend a border fortress against an enemy assault. Will the adventurers help defeat the hobgoblin attackers? Will Martin survive his first battle? Is being a hireling all that it's cracked up to be? Read and find out!
If you like old-school tabletop fantasy role-playing games, especially those with ogres and wizards, imps and goblins, swords and spells, fighters and thieves, grumbling dwarves and monstrous trolls, you may enjoy THEY KILL FOR GOLD. It is a light, fast-paced fantasy adventure novella that pays homage to an older, simpler era of dice-and-dungeons-style gaming fiction.
