Re: Question to everybody

Like said, that offer isn't very popular. (Not much power for you to gain here, that is).
However...
For few inviduals, however it seems better than hardship at hand. To some, Anabstercorian's is impressive, some of those people have admired this great being. Some think Anabstercorian is indeed, great god of Destruction and Chaos, like another one called Forrester, and should indeed be served, rather than opposed. Some are just afraid. Some seek better life. There are many reasons, numberous reason. Few of them are 'right reasons' to make such choice.
These people left their people already. They ran into other people, they heard the tales. They had given up their way of life.. they were seeking something.. they found. you.. or maybe your agents just found those lost people first.
Those civilians who didn't leave their lands are not open for your offers.
1 PL of those civilians, some barbarians, some ex-citizens of Ratik are ready to take this offer after little persuation. Their people didn't use to practise magical alteration on people, so they are bit shocked at prospect of being... changed that way. Few find idea even intriguing.
They don't know great secrets, they don't carry much valuables with them. However, they are able to tell, that traitorous king Morreg, secretly 'fan of Iuz' managed to manipulate few important people leaving with him, not to mention, managed to steal some treasure with him. Of course, Morreg is dead, and died somewhere none knows.
This group of civilians might draw along another another 1 PL of mixed lot, if offered something more for this work. Or your agents can just brainwash and force them *shrug*.
Zelda considers: This loss of PL from people is about 8, I presume. Evenly shared between barbarians and Ratikians, other groups are really minor.
