i feel like it would be cool if skully or the pink slime puddle had a chance at giving you info on the royal ambassadors, so you would/might know who to trust. or mabey if skully catches the necromancer the chances of ghosts striking would decrease.
also just a thought mabey the wizzard could ask for a 1000 gold for research material to increase his success rate 5-10%. (which ever you think is fair) probably better it happens only once though so the wizzard doesnt become too op.
