Gates of Hell - Hint Three

It is possible that many players don't quite know how the 
Surrender feature of the game works.  What happens when you
Surrender is that you pay the enemy player a certain amount
of gold, based on the number of troops you have, and you 
disappear.  The hero who surrendered then appears in the
Hero Recruitment Pool for your side (displacing a hero that
was there before), with all his/her troops still intact.
You can recruit that hero for the normal 2500 with all the
armies and artifacts they have with them.

This is what you have to do to survive the first round.  Your
money has been carefully rationed - you have just enough in the
first round to Surrender Flynn and Melchior with the armies
they command, and then to recruit them back in your main castle.
After that, you will be almost broke, but Flynn and Melchior
should be able to handle the immediate threats to your castle.

Ah, but how do you get the rest of your heroes out after that?
