That doesn't make you an idiot. XD
In any case, I'll be providing little conversations whenever there are characters on the map. So, if anything is the puzzle it will be trying to figure out if you have any character available to recruit the person with. It will vary in obviousness, of course. Well, in some cases maybe anyone will do, other times... yeah. All up to you. I think I've described this subject enough, now. Haha.
