-For example, hiring a guide for an uncharted and dangerous area for 5 days would cost 800 \glspl{cp}.

-Hiring someone generally requires a Wits + Empathy roll, \gls{tn} 7, to determine their capability.
-Failure means that this person is useless.
-Perhaps they want to work with you because they have no idea how bad they are at their job, or perhaps they simply want to rip you off.

-The Failure Margin should indicate just how bad the henchman is, so the \gls{gm} is encouraged to make the roll in secret.
