Similarly, missions to purify altars will result in the Hamlet and your heroes being blessed by divine beings, making the next mission that much easier.With what the Crusader and Vestal are capable of, it's nice to know that in this den of suffering, with brutal pagan gods and at least two monstrosities going around, that there are powers that look out for humanity instead of wanting to destroy it.Even if the rest of the world treats him as an outcast, it's clear there's still someone (possibly even the same 'Light' who looks after the Crusader, the Vestal, the Leper, and the Flagellant, who all scorn him for being an unholy monstrosity) looking out for him. The Abomination's Absolution skill, represented by a ray of light falling straight on him, both heals and reduces stress.If Fearful, the Man-At-Arms will plead with the enemy to spare the rest of the heroes.Of course, this could eventually devolve into a Tear Jerker moment if the mission goes south immediately afterwards- which is a definite possibility since many camps end in surprise attacks.

Seeing them huddled around the fire and trying to bolster morale/heal each other for the coming battle is strangely touching, and if none of them are doing poorly or overly stressed, their dialogue is filled with hope that their quest will be successful or gratefulness that they have such stalwart companions at their side. Camping can be this depending on how well your party is doing.Collecting grain from the Warrens for the Hamlet's people will end with the Ancestor declaring that 'The soldiers will feast tonight!' and the next week having the 'Bumper Crop' modifier where the citizens are so grateful for the food stability you've guaranteed that they'll provide you with provisions free of charge.After years of being on the verge of collapse and tended only by one lonely caretaker, the first victories of your adventurers help breathe life into the place again.

Completing a few quests early in the game unlocks more of the Hamlet.

A Houndmaster that is afflicted in general is no less caring about his dog, even when Selfish or Abusive, and his Heroic BSoD portrait shows him fearfully cuddling her.
