The joint instance had operated long enough for Nethren to stop measuring its earnings one party at a time.
Adventurers entered through the same doorway at nearly every hour. Some moved carefully through the fungal caverns. Others broke the first growth that reacted to them and fought whatever answered. Failed groups returned with better plans, while successful groups discussed routes they had not attempted and came back to test them.
Every completed fight, discovered path, and sustained attempt added to the instance's income. The system divided the total before either owner could touch it.
[Joint instance earnings distributed.]
[Hizon: 50 percent.]
[Nethren: 50 percent.]
Nethren moved his newest share into the reserve he had begun after the first payment. The amount crossed the threshold he had been waiting for.
