Drawing the Mercenary card will immediately generate a durably summoned mercenary which will offer you its services for a fee. The fee is roughly equal to the monster's XP value, plus or minus 15 percent. A hired mercenary will be friendly, but if the player cannot or chooses not to purchase the ally, it will be hostile.
The mercenary is a durably summoned monster, which means that it is worth no experience, can't be abjured, never times out, and will not leave a corpse or any equipment behind upon death. However, they increase in strength as they deal the killing blow against enemies, and can grow into a more powerful creature after it gains enough experience. This is the list of possible mercenaries in ascending order of power:
- K
Big kobold - m
Merfolk -> grows into Merfolk Impaler - N
Naga -> grows into either Naga Warrior or Naga Mage and then into Greater naga - H
Tengu -> grows into either a Tengu Conjurer or Tengu Warrior and then into Tengu Reaver - e
Deep elf conjurer -> grows into Deep elf annihilator - o
Orc knight -> grows into Orc Warlord - 6
A random base demonspawn - O
Ogre mage - H
Minotaur - d
Draconian -> grows into a random colored Draconian - e
Deep elf blademaster
