If you say the key word as a minotaur, *snipped person* does not respond. If you have a mercenary say it, the mercenary cannot come, but you can go to sleep and *snippy snip*.
*snipped log*

So a few things!
1 - Being able to use a mercenary - working as intended
2 - Minotaur not being listened to - working as intended

But then it ends up there were two issues with this little feline. First, a typo in what it accepts (fixed). Second, an echo people should have been seeing but never did.

Enjoy seeing an echo that has been bugged and thus not seen since it was created.
