You arrive back in Kriegswater to see Udd, the scruffy local man who greeted you on your first visit to the village, surrounded by a group of other men and women. They're armed with an assortment of makeshift weapons ranging from rusty swords to hoes and fishing rods, but they show no aggression toward you. Indeed, as you ride up, Udd hails you.
"'Ello again, your lordship," he begins. "Me and the others, we been thinkin', and we reckon life in Kriegswater ain't so great, 'specially not since you fancy foreign folk've been traipsing around these parts. I fancy a feel of the adventurin' life meself, and I figured…well, we'd be 'appy to throw our lot in with you, for a bit o' coin."
After talking to Udd and his friends further, it appears that a number of them—ten in total—are willing to join the Tribe of the Red Bear at a cost of six gold coins each.
