We hire crew members at ports (worlds). many have died, especially mercs and guards. We currently have 2 navigators, 2 scholars, an engineer, a trainer (a magical book) on the payroll and a levitating/teleporting plant monster (we hatched) and freeloading "alchemist" (he really is not one) who are not on the payroll (unsure why another party member invited him since he was designed to annoy my wizard (which is not happening since my wizard knows this guy will die shortly (1 HP), LOL). The problem is they are all level zero, so D6 HP (the ones with 1 or 2 HP die in environmental hazards). We control the NPCs but if we ask them to do something not in their job description (ask a merc to help the engineer with repairs which he did or two dangerous (have 2 mercs scout a room ahead of us which one did), they roll morale to see if they do it. We had all the NPCs (the three that were left at the time) freeze up after a harrowing environmental encounter where we lost many crew members). Right now, we need 10-12 mercs or maybe a bunch of actual leveled fighters. we could use an Orcerer (a real alchemist and not a typo) but we won't find one at a fighting arena world (our last stop before perusing the end game).</p></blockquote><p></p>
