Book content

...From my experience, bounty hunters, especially the ones who are still wet behind the ears, fall into two extremes.

The first extreme is to hunt with such needless cruelty as if there's extra pay in it. Some folks enjoy beating their mark half to death after they already catch them. One can count their blessings if the poor bastard doesn't go belly up during the return trip, or if the client is able to recognize anything in the mutilated mess. It's simply the worst way to go about things.

The second extreme is to avoid harming the mark entirely, going out of your way to not leave a single bruise. Trust me, no one will hold you accountable for such trivialities, and it's much better to return with a dead man's head than to pussyfoot around and get nothing.

The most reliable way to capture your bounty alive is to hit them on the leg with a sharp spear. Just need to make sure the wound is properly treated before you hogtie them - otherwise there's a chance they'll bleed out or die of fever before you claim the reward...
