As a kitsune oracle of intrigue, I have at least 7 suggestions a day on tap. One of my go to tactics for dealing with mooks is to "suggest" that they take some gold and go to the bar. As a card carrying exchange member, I even get the gold back if i can get a receipt.
To liven it up I often give different suggestions like
go home to your parents basement, mom kept it the same for you (to an insane cultist)
take the gold, go to dance school like you always wanted
buy that girl a ring and pop the question. Or guy. I really don't care as long as its not here...
So, what would you suggest the minion do besides standing in the fighters charge lane to the big bad?
