| The card depicts bloodied hands accepting a bag of gold. |
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.
As a durably summoned monster, a mercenary gives no experience, cannot 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 coloured Draconian - e
Deep elf blademaster
