Alternative to Slavery: Recruit Thralls through Rescue
- Working cages (with thralls captives).
- Instead of knocking out a potential thrall to be broken on the wheel of pain, rescue a thrall from a cage.
a. An unbroken thrall would be standing in the cage.
b. A broken thrall would be passed out in the cage. - An unbroken thrall could be set free. Random chance to join (“follow”) or return home.
- A broken thrall can be “dragged” back to base and nursed back to full health. Maybe placed “in” a bed and fed from the Thrall Pot. When recovered, they willingly work for you.
This would be a mechanic for the player to “not” be a slaver, but rather a rescuer of slaves. Maybe add a “Healer Thrall” for faster recovering. Named healers in the world, too.
To keep it fair, both the “enslaving”/breaking and “recovery” times should be identical.
