Blackstone, I think you placed Nandi on<em>wrong side</em>of the conflict :P<br/><br/>Anyways on Grum he prefers his currency more liquid and material form; gold coins, treasure, items etc. Than in slaves. Not that he minds having a loyal slave or two, but he finds them a bother to look after and arrange/hire guard and get cage and check how feed one and transport as horde moves etc. So overall he has no follower nor slave atm. But any elf slave who he manages break into obedience and is definately loyal (by magic collar perhaps) would be ideal for him. A skilled slave who can take care of itself.<br/><br/>Overall Grum is mercenary and not tied to any tribes (as his own tribe died years ago). So he is quite simple minded in pursuit and motives.
