"Listen, buddy. Me and my band of high level thugs/heroes are interested in this task, provided that we get 100G EACH after completion. Or else your whole village will burn down. Furthermore, we'll collect as many or as few flowers as we wish. We've accepted this offer already so you might as well start packing for the afterlife."

But adventurers, I am just a poor farmer. The only thing I have to my name is this silver enchanted sword that is a family heirloom. Surely you can find it in your neutral evil aligned heart to spare my village.
