Event: Flagellant Banishes Alp

[SwampDragon]

--SPOILERS--


I just had an event I have never seen before! Someone spotted an alp stalking the company, so I was given three options:

1) Fighting it.
2) Running away from it.
3) Asking my flagellant for his advice.

I've always had a thing for flagellants (yes I know they're objectively crap), but now I like them even more!

*grin*

Scaring a beast of nightmares. You hired a monster for sure.

Love these events.

Is it just me or should it actually say "hitting himself" instead of "hiding himself" at the end of the first paragraph?

I think you are correct, it should be hitting. Would be impressive if he could hide himself with every step though (while also hitting himself!) LOL.

Neat. Never seen this one either.

I wouldn't say Flagellants are total junk though. I'll hire them early game when I'm fishing for a banner candidate. If you've already got a bannerman then yeah they are rather uninspiring.

Flaggellants are fine as sergeants but I like cultists and the brawling between cultists and flaggellants/monks annoys me. Cultist events are better because they increase resolve and reduce upkeep. There is the whole davkul armor thing too but it's so rare it's a nonfactor.

Yeah I don't bother with Davkul nonsense. If I can't even get a Caravan upgrade I'm never going to get a Davkul event.

It's using another meaning of hiding:

hid·ing

noun: hiding; plural noun: hidings
a physical beating.
"they took off after him, caught him, and gave him a hiding"

"if they'd played badly, they would have expected a hiding"

+1 for smakemupagus. Language!

[Vertibird]

A rare usage of a word. Cool!

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

But you cited a noun. Here it is used as a verb. Is that correct?

Having more Caravan Hands at level 6+ increases the likelihood of the event triggering. With only one, the chance is pretty low, yes.

"Having more Caravan Hands at level 6+ increases the likelihood of the event triggering."

Are you absolutely sure about that?
