> Once a fight begins, a loyalty roll would have to be made based on
the 'job description' of the follower. If Dan's a warrior (I'm
guessing not since he's only armed with a dagger), this is right up
his alley and there'd only be a resistance of 14. If, on the other
hand, Dan's an apprentice merchant, this was not on his job
description! The resistance would be higher (I don't have my book on
me to look up the page of the table). After that, it's the
narrator's call. If the loyalty roll succeeds, Dan can help and
depending on how he helps would certainly count as a 3rd defender.

According to HQ page 85, you only need to make the roll if your hero
asks the follower to do something "beyond his duty". So to get the
warrior to fight wouldn't require a roll, but getting the apprentice
to still would.
