Fate's Harvest/Harvestmen

Harvestmen

The Harvestmen tend to attract the adventurers, the bold, the warriors and would-bes. They are the swords and bows, the semiautomatics, the knives in dark alleys, but they are also the maps, the Marco Polos and the Indiana Joneses.

As the Freehold is scarcely a year old (at the time of game opening!), there isn't yet a specific Hall or Hollow built or claimed, the group practicing in the main cavern of Stoneheart for the time being.

Structure

Many members have come from martial backgrounds, and the basic structure of the Harvestmen reflects their influence.

Captain

Qty: 1

Duties: Commander of the militia. Point of Contact for Crown & Council. Organize and maintain the ranks. Share information with Lieutenants, who will share with lower ranks. All intelligence collected is given to you, to share with other groups. You control the rank structures below you, and it is up to your judgement to decide

Harvestmen Influence Level: 5

Lieutenant

Qty: 2-4

Duties: One Lieutenant is appointed by the Captain as the Captain's Second, and where the Captain is unavailable, is deputized to perform as Acting Captain. All Lieutenants report to the Captain. Command and train with the members of the squad you lead. You are the POC for your squad, and you relay the Captain's orders. You are empowered to promote Recruits to Privates. Typically, while all Harvestmen train to fight and gather information/maps, one of the Lieutenants leads a group composed of exploration specialists, more independent than the regular rank and file.

Harvestmen Influence Level: Second: 4, Other(s): 3

Private

Qty: 4-8 per Lieutenant

Duties: You are the rank and file, or specialists among them. You defend the Freehold and patrol the territory it claims for itself, following the orders of your Lieutenant. In the absence of your own Lieutenant, report directly to the Second. In the absence of the Second, report to the Captain. In the absence of both Second and Captain... you're in trouble! Find another Lieutenant or do the best you can.
