Still you want (adventurers) around (because) monsters exist.
/// Well, you don't want these armed freaks anywhere your house (NIMBY) except if you are heavily armed too (think Sartarite clan) and think you and your herder buddies can bash their head in if they get too rowdy. If you are a nicely civilized dara happan or seshnegi farmer, no way. UNTIL the monsters are practically breathing down your neck, after having butchered the local militia, the hoplites sent as reinforcement and the Sun Priest. Then you'll consider supporting these armed freaks. Only then.

Typical reaction to Adventurers is, at best, mixed. As long as they're not actively terrorizing the populace, well, it's kinda nice to know that they're around, just in case
/// No way. Let them live somewhere else. I don't want them weirdos looking over my fence, or patronizing the same club as I do. At best, have the chief grant them some estate at the far edge of Our Lands.

but you wouldn't want your sister marrying one.
/// You wouldn't even let your womenfolk go into town when the local humakti / uroxi are strutting in the streets (although for different reasons).
