the difficulty involved in keeping hadley on retainer isnt even the costs for his alchemical experiments its the fact that this guy needs to spend 5 hours a week walking in a forest and 3 swimming Minimum to not lose it and he Hates having company for either. dude spent years braving werewolves for this. it doesnt matter how much gold you can throw at him and he can only be somewhat motivated by what he considers his ethical obligation to do good in the world by moving his field forward, you need to be able to keep him in a suitable environment.
