In Sanctum, that&#8217;s Robin, Orion, and Diana. By &#8220;henchmen&#8221; I mean party members who join or are &#8220;hired&#8221; mainly for combat support and story flavor on a specific quest or quests. Since I made you leave one of your three companions behind near the end of Chapter 2 (and don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;ll see them again in Chapter 4), I felt that it would be a good idea to let you be able to &#8220;hire on&#8221; some temporary help in Chapter 3 if you need it. There will be five such &#8220;henchmen&#8221; available in different areas and for different quests. Although they&#8217;re intended to be more &#8220;henchmen&#8221; than full &#8220;companions,&#8221; they&#8217;ve already developed very vivid personalities in my mind that I want to try to translate into the module as well. Two of them will also be potential (though not long-term) romance options (one male, one female).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A player asked me the following regarding a recent post about my plans for Sanctum 3.
