The Party of Heroesit is the party who has attracted the following and the Paladin has just assumed defacto leadership. At least some of those 250 soldiers ought to become interested in the other party members eg there may be a few lads from farming background who like to hang around the Druid, a few may even have family members with the plague and who want to find the cure too. If the Druid interacts (RP!) with the soldiers positively he may get his own following - they are still loyal to the Paladin as War Leader but will also go out of their way to assist the Druid and even follow a 'suggestion' from him even though it contradicts the Paladins command! (oh and if your the trained soldier in the group - its likely a few of the lads are going to flock around you too.I was reading Pratchetts Monstrous Company just before Xmas and the point was made therein that often the Officers were relatively incompetent and it was the Sergeant who was really in Command - this army should be working the same way - sure the Paladin Leads, but it is you who ought to be controlling them (subtlely of course))2. The fun of PrioritisingIf the Paladin wont go to the plague then bring the plague to you! It only takes one of the 250 soldiers to get infected for the plague to start spreading amongst the troops - then the Paladin will be forced to simultaneously find a cure AND accomodate the soldiers AND quarantine the sick AND - you get the idea <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
