Militia Quartermaster Dhebi Polaali: As a show of gratitude, the hamlet's healers have provided the militia with special herbal poultices which relax tired muscles, calm the spirit, and reinvigorate the mind. The militia will, in turn, pass these remedies along to adventurers who agree to assist them.
Those who aid the hamlet by donating and delivering supplies will earn bonuses of anima based on the amount of items contributed and their quality.
Militia Quartermaster Dhebi Polaali: We are not quick to forget the kindness of our benefactors. Contributions made during periods of enemy inactivity will be duly noted and reflected in stipends awarded should you join our ranks during a beast tribe invasion.
When a hamlet has received a set amount of donations and deliveries, its supply rating will increase. The higher the rating, the greater the rewards given for successfully defending the area from beast tribe attacks. However, a hamlet with a high rating will also attract stronger beastmen.
If your contribution to the hamlet's supply rating is amongst the top 20 adventurers, you will receive a bonus when participating in a successful attempt to repel enemy forces during the next round of hamlet defense.
The names of the top 20 contributors can be viewed by speaking with the militia quartermaster.
