Conflict Resolution for Mercenaries

Remember that come-on?

Recruiting Now! A team of men and women.

Sounded pretty good, didn't it? Especially the mixed company. Perhaps you foresaw romance, eh? How's that going for you?

You probably paid no attention to the subtle warnings of sickness and death — simply assumed the journey would be on the order of a week-long hiking trip or trail ride.

Well... at least there's plenty of fresh air, a good deal of attractive scenery, plenty of quaint natives and their colorful customs. So cheer up! We didn't lie to you. Overlooked a few details, maybe, like the possibility of a return trip — but you can't expect to have everything perfect.

All in all it's not such a bad situation we face... always assuming we can gain more recruits — a LOT more recruits.
