Typically, though, they'd leave the dungeon and head back to Muntburg, the nearby keep, and recuperate there for up to a week to regain their hit points and re-supply.

I consider myself very old school, but for the most part hirelings never had much of a place in my world. Sure, I would have let players hire people if they wanted to, but for some reason they hardly ever did. <BR/><BR/>In a true killer dungeon though, it's best to have somebody around to stick their arm in a cubby hole for you.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, what killed those hirelings?<BR/><BR/>James, I'm also curious about the character encampment before and after sessions.
