Fuller has to stomp out wool for 8 hours. Barber surgeons have to deal with writhering patients from no pain killers. Treadmill operators have to walk in the air and chance falling.
Leech Collector: You have to wade around in a pond bare footed and get as many leeches to stick to you as possible. Then you sell them to the doctor.
Lime Burner: to burn lime at temp. of 1100 degrees for 24 hours. Its hot and exhausting work and you can pass out from the fumes of the lime right into your own fire.
Toad Eater: You're the assistant of a criminal doctor and your job is to eat a toad and be miracurously cured from his medicine.
Gong-Scourer: You go around the town collecting all the human waste and empty it outside the village in the local river. You must not live near the town because you stick so bad.
Arming Squire: You supply the fighting knight and after his battle you must clean his armour that he has used the bathroom in due to no bathroom breaks.
Puke Collector: You must collect puke that diners leave after a meal. At a party you must go around mopping up the puke unless they puke on your face.
Fuller: Your job is to clean and stregnthen wool. To do this you dip wool in stale urine and stomp it out for 8 hours. Then stretch it out.
Barber-surgeon: To act as a barber and a doctor. You can perform hair cuts and amputations with the same utensils. No meds so pain is unbearable for patients.
Treadmill Operator: You have to keep a giant wooden wheel running to lift stones hundreds of feet in the air unprotected. If you fall you die.
