In “Quests”, replace “Any Orc may commit Warriors to an open Quest by paying an amount of Warriors and making a comment on the Quest’s Story Post stating clearly that they are committing that many Warriors. ” with:-

Any Orc may commit Warriors to an open Quest by paying an amount of Warriors and making a comment on the Quest’s Story Post stating clearly that they are committing that many Warriors, and optionally including a condition on which they (the Committed Orc) will Ride, which must follow one of the following bolded formats:

  • “I fear nothing.” The Committed Orc will Ride on this Quest.
  • “I will stand beside [Orc].” [Orc] must be the name of another active Orc. The Committed Orc will only Ride on this Quest if the named Orc is Riding on the Quest. (If two Orcs invoke one another in this way on the same Quest, then both Ride on it.)
  • “I will stand beside [X] generals.” [X] must be a number. The Committed Orc will only Ride on this Quest if the total number of Riders to that Quest equals or exceeds X.
  • “This will need [X] brave warriors.” [X] must be a number. The Committed Orc will only Ride on this Quest if the total number of Warriors committed by Riders to that Quest, plus the number committed by the Supporters of that Quest who have chosen this condition for it, equals or exceeds X.
  • “This is madness.” The Committed Orc will never Ride on this Quest.

Orcs may commit Warriors more than once, and all such commitments within a Quest are cumulative. If an Orc makes more than one conditional comment on a given Quest, only the condition of the first of those comments is counted.

Replace “Any Orc who has committed at least one Warrior to a given Quest is a Rider on that Quest.” with:-

Any Orc who has committed at least one Warrior to a given Quest is a Supporter of that Quest; any Supporter of a Quest whose condition for Riding on it has been met is a Rider on that Quest.

Replace “where X is the total number of Warriors committed by all Orcs to that Quest” with:-

where X is the total number of Warriors committed to that Quest by its Riders

Add a new paragraph to the rule before the final paragraph:-

When a Quest is resolved, each of its Supporters who was not a Rider on it receives a number of Warriors equal to those they committed to that Quest.

Orcs seem a little cagey about joining Quests. Borrowing the nice speak-a-phrase mechanic from Clan Bonds to allow us to commit our Warriors under certain conditions.
