Companions: characters who walk with the players

Where this works

  • Works todayWolfStorm: Characters who walk with the players in a box’s panel.
  • In WolfViewer now (Speedy Xenon)WolfViewer: Someone walks with them... under a box’s More....
  • On across Wolf Territories (each region at its next restart)Companions walking with players in the world.

A companion is one of your characters who joins the players and walks with them: a guide, a deputy, a dog, a ghost who knows the way. They follow, talk on the way and leave when the story says.

Add a companion

The easy way: click the box where they join and tell the helper: “Old Jed walks with them from the cabin to the falls.” By hand:

  1. Step 1: Click the box where they join on Your story map and press More....
  2. Step 2: Press Someone walks with them... (WolfViewer) or use Characters who walk with the players (WolfStorm).
  3. Step 3: Choose who.
  4. Step 4: Choose whether they walk with each player who is there, or with the whole party (they follow its leader).
  5. Step 5: Choose until which box they stay, or to the end of the story.
  • At most two companions can walk with a party at once. A third is refused, and the player is told.
  • In a fight, companions fight on the players’ side and take their own turns.
  • Use Leaves them here (WolfStorm) on a later box to send a companion away there.
  • Your own scripts can bring a companion or send one away too, and hear when one joins or leaves. See Adding your own scripts.
