In rescue however you enter the name of the victim of to be defended and it
happens
instantaneously.  I want it to save who is defending who, perhaps have
defended and
defending members of the player structure.  Then the player will have a
pointer to the
person they are defending, so in case of a battle, the rescue will be
automatic.
