[QUOTE="corwyn77, post: 5682617, member: 63309"] that parallels what I ended up doing with the first two - the orc basically volunteered because Lyceum is probably his best hope for a cure and the merchant, well having recently arrived prospects aren't much better here. I'm at a bit of a loss for the Warlord, both because of his morally ambiguous and because he's a new player so I'm not sure how to motivate him. I didn't want to set a precedent of 'hiring' one of the characters and not the others. In the end, I stole an idea from one of the game write-ups on these forums and had him invited by accident, meant for someone else. He assumed at the time that it was an invite to meet a contact for some underground fight club. So far it's working and he's tagging along, presumably because there's no future for an independent gladiator in a city about to go to war. The player isn't using it as an excuse to be a jerk so for now I'll just concentrate on group motivation and hope for the best. And yeah, Torrent will definitely try to work some 'last best hope' magic. [/QUOTE]
