But those one I. A thousand will be people that can knock on doors and give very bias according to important ears.
Look, I'm not saying it's the end all be all, just that I would like to know what they might want before we are at the table.
But that is how a recruitment action
works, they tell us what they want and then we say yes or no, it has been specifically asked of the GM, a recruitment action does not lock us into saying yes to any requests. It is not like the notion of saying no in a negotiation is some kind of massive social faux pas.
Look at it this way.
If we do a get to know action
-and they want us to do something we do not want to deal with we stop there and lose 1 AP in the bargain
-and they want us to do something we can manage then we still have to do another action, that is 2 AP
If we do recruit right off the bat
-and they want us to do something we do not want to deal with we say no and that is still 1 AP spent
-and they want us to do something acceptable, then we say yes and still only one AP spent so far
I know the above looks really mechanical, but it is just the easiest way to illustrate how we can choose to spend the most valuable of Mathilde's resources in character and out of character, since it impacts what the narrative looks like. Don't get me wrong if you just want to see more of Timonel I have nothing against that, but I do not think the question of what if they ask us for something unacceptable will play into this, Mathilde is a
Lady Magister, the buck stops with her unless she is declaring war on someone or similar decisions
