Contest between various guild teams, players vs NPCs, a series of particularly aggressive things are released into a problematic environment - say a marsh with a ruined monastery, and they get bragging rights if they earn the most points, and get the choice of best contracts for a year.
Added complication, if blood is spilt in the monastery it summons spirits of reprisal, Kroll, or the alien Alf.

You can probably burn two hours of game time on contract negotiations.

1) currency, the currency of the contract matters, since base metal value can fluctuate differently, and the lord's face on the coin matters
2) The Guild *isn't* corrupt, but pretty powerful, constantly bringing it in conflict with corrupting influences
3) the monsters are useful sometimes so not all contracts are for fighting and killing, capturing and redirecting has value

in reply to Malin • • •they are given a boat, harpoons, some guy called Shmael and the instruction to not come back without the white heart.
Which turns out to be the mermaid king, who does enjoy turning the hunter into the hunted and is actually the guy who hired them in the first place.
