"Well, anyhoo... should he come upon weapons th't our levies could'a use, he be sure t' give us some of 'em, ay?"
Not waiting for any kind of awnser, Thomsen sets off. Gloriously so! Walking one pace west, he happens upon (currently) two others...;
"Why, if it ain't our Knightly Lordship and th' Sir Priest? Fancy meeting ya' here 'nd such.... Reminds us, we got a Plan t' levy some of th' local commoners for th' fighting against what-th'-unholy-thing-was-again. Tell ya' what, Sir Priest - you promise us t' give 'dem lot some healing if need be, and we be sure t' tell'em t' look out for ya. Don't want our white ma.. eh, holy man we mean!, t' come t' any harm, now do we?"
Finnishing his buisness with the "certainly-not-a-white-mage"-priest, Thomsen feels prompted to walk yet another pace west, where he should happen upon a squatter. If this is by chance only, or the threads of fate - also sometimes called "Meta" in "the other tonuge" -, we are left to wonder on our own.
Looking down at the Pleb, Thomsen feels a rush of authority coming over himself...
"You! You will be following us. Now and henceforth! Well, thou we might overthink th' matter after th' unholy thing is done for..."
Thomsen now reaches farther west, into uncharted lands! As far as his own memory, or the threads of fate go, that is. In the hopes that the commoner would accompany him, they will make a thorough search of the area...
Go 1 Tile West, and offer the Priest to become a Vassal. Well, kind off....
Go another Tile West, and use "Superiour Blood" on the NPC-Squatter there. Provided "accepting Vassalage" does not count as the use of an ability, that is.
Order my new Levy-Man to follow me another Tile West, and to search the area with me. Should the recruitment fail for whatever reasons, I will wait in the courtyard instead. Or search it, if my action-points would allow that.
(( Well, Terra, Seeing as your Priest has pretty much the most lousy attack ever, I really doubt he would be of much use in combat. Even if I should die, there is not much harm done in that regard. Those additonal 2 SP and HP would do him quite well however, and could safe his life instead. I really would suggest that you become one of my "followers" for that purpose.))
(( On that note - can the NPC's become "attuned" with items, like PC commoners? Also, do I need to be in the vicinity of those PC's that would become my followers? ))
