2/16 Marius wants a raise

2/16 Marius wants a raise This comes after Lost in the Woods, at the start of A Place to Call Home. You can: • Persuade him to stick to the original contract: pay 55 groschen a day. • Agree to the moderate raise: pay 80 a day. • Offer the generous wage: pay 120 a day. Those are his total wages, not extra amounts added to the old 55. The listed population and reputation changes are zero. Save before negotiating. There is a reported bug where failing persuasion leaves you paying both 55 and 120, for a total of 175 a day. Check the ledger afterward. Some guides recommend Speech 18 or higher, but the exact requirement is not consistent across reports. If you are watching expenses, the original contract is the cheapest outcome.
