Consider this little example:
An Immortal added 250 exp for: For giving gold coins to a beggar that caught his plague, and asked him to go to the healer.
Do you think I expected the mob to actually go heal his plague? No, in fact I am fairly sure it still died from the plague some 30 ticks later. Does it mean I have to roleplay as if they died?
Similarly, if I play a paladin and want to use the felar chief, I can easily enough ask the mob for an okay to summon him later to fight ragers. Give him 500 gold or something, so he can feed his people. 99% says the mob will not respond but I can still roleplay as if agreement has been reached.
Due to an engine limitation you cannot send tells to mobs, but you can pretend you did, and roleplay accordingly. A lot of RP is abbreviated during PK, and it is FINE. A lot of RP is implied. A lot of may happen in the background -- writing a role about fighting alongside the felar chief is just as valid.
Just so you don't go apeshit on a tangent, a disclaimer:
I DO NOT KNOW what the paladin did or did not RP (and neither do you). I just don't like you throwing blanket statements that it's always a bad thing to summon mobs to fight a rager.
