| Cancelling | First 10 minutes only, no wage paid |

The tavern is where a knight with no gold left goes to earn some. Work comes as a single job of a chosen length, anywhere from one hour to twelve.
That makes it the income of last resort, and one that is always open, at the cost of real time. Once a job is running the knight is tied to it for its full length. The only way out is to cancel within the first ten minutes, and that pays nothing at all.
Taking a job
Jobs are posted on a notice board, and each one has a duration and a side. Choosing the hours and the side and pressing accept starts the shift. Red jobs pull alignment towards evil and light ones towards good, so every shift is a fresh choice of side.
A job of the wanted length is not always there. The board works like a shared quest pool, and once other players have taken the jobs for a given number of hours, those jobs are gone. Refreshing the page a few times may bring one back, or a different length will do just as well.
What the work pays
Every level gained raises the gold offered for jobs. A premium account earns 10% above the advertised wage, and a tavern package bought with gems raises it by 30%. Gems themselves turn up now and then as a bonus on top of the wage, two or three at a time. Finding them takes luck, and the wording of a job on the board gives no hint of which ones will pay out.
Working while away
The tavern is the natural place to leave a knight whenever the player is away from the computer. There is no wait first, either: the combat lock after a fight does not hold up a shift, so work can start the moment the fight ends.
Long shifts leave the purse exposed, though. Hour protection lasts 60 minutes, and a twelve-hour job outlasts it many times over, so any gold carried during the shift is open to attack. Gold donkeys covers the habits that keep an account from becoming a target. For a longer absence, sitting lets another player look after the account for up to four weeks.
