Yes I thought that was hilarious. In my game, when first approaching the barracks there was a fight between some of the soldiers and a couple orcs that had wandered too close, so of course I rushed in to kill the orcs (wouldn't want to loose the experience points). Rather than thanking me, they freaked out about my 'stealing' a pile of three gold that an orc dropped (I had waited for the soldiers to move back closer to the barracks entrance, but apparently none of them wanted claim the gold until they saw I had it). After agreeing to work for the army, I looted the entire barracks without anyone even paying attention.
