<p>Do Paladins count as Adventurers?</p>

<p>Year one, I kill the Paladin, and no adventurers.
Year two, the first spell is Magic Key (a slow spell): </p>

  <p>Discard one of your imprisoned adventurers (if you have any).</p>

<p>Assuming I can't kill an adventurer and/or all the magic users, do I lose my first year paladin?</p>
