So I get how cohorts that are printed on a character card; I add them to my hand at the start of the game. But how do cohorts work that you get in the course of the adventure.
For instance in the Elven Entanglement, I added the cohort you get that is printed on the scenario and added it to my hand. Then I defeated the henchmen and freed the cohort and added it to my hand. We ended up losing the scenario. My question is do I then keep all the cohorts and add the 3 cohorts to my starting hand(the one printed on my character sheet and the two others gained in the failed scenario)?
Also, can cohorts be given to other characters?
