The Fabulous Four should be agroing against Skellys, Snakes, Rats. and Goblins and assisiting passing adventurers (I used to use thier services many many many times on live back in the day). Last night I agroed a lord and ran to them, 3 of them just stood there while the forth (either dwarf or gnome, not sure) was allready embroiled in a battle with two other lords.
Here is some info on the Fab four.
