It is a trade of labour for improved relations. "Hey, why don't we trade some knights to show our good favor?"

Yermajisty says "Great!"

The head of the guild says "I'm not sending them anybody we need. Get that whimp with the big reputation. Send him to the Excalibur Guild. The guild will think they are getting an acomplished knight, the king thinks we aren't jipping them, the numbskull thinks he's getting promoted, and we get some piece and quiet around here. Whine, whine, whine, that's all that guy does."

Advisor "If he bugs you so much, why didn't you just send him on patrol in the undead lands?"

Head of the guild "Already did, his entire company was killed off... but NOT him! Oh, no, he comes back unscathed but never defeating a single foe. I tried to get him killed off in the championship.He wound up putting Sir Knight in Black and Sir Knight with Hammer into the infirmary. They beat him down and just kept beating on him even after the dismissal of the King. He wound up standing up asking 'is that all you got?' and, yes, it was. They had bludgioned him so hard and so long that they fractured most of the bones in their hands. If he comes back YOU are the one responsible for killing him off."

Advisor "Wait, I'm confused, are we sending them our best or are we sending them our worst?"
