Woohoo, I have about 4000 gold after the debt. But, what puzzles me a bit is the fact that you don't HAVE to pay off the debt, it's just there, while you still have you gold separate, does this mean that in the real Fable game, that if you merge the characters, You will get the gold, but have the option to pay or run away from the debt?
Figured it out, once you are profitable, the debt will just be taken from there.
