Odds and ends

[Merc]

If the majority of the group is is going to guard Hamilton, I'd assume Josa and Whurric would join in as well, not unless Arachiel wants Whurric around for whatever it was she wanted to search for amongst the wreckage.

[Anastasia]

Josa will point out that letting Arachiel go alone is a bad idea in case any danger looms, and recommends at least one person go with him.

[Ebiris]

If everyone wants to go warn Hamilton, Janson would point out this'll leave their chance of catching a trail for Senaril in Wetwind cold, so he'll volunteer to stay behind and follow up that.

Y'know, this sounds a hell of a lot like his reasoning for bowing out of the curse breaking job in the first place.

[Corwin]

It does, doesn't it?  :(

[Ebiris]

The parallels are stunning, aren't they?

I guess this is the path to Whurric, Neve, and Sylvie all being brutally killed beyond hope of resurrection while Aaeru gets horribly traumatised and Janson twiddles his thumbs in safety.

But realistically there's poor odds of any bad shit going down in Balmuria under the protection of its harsh anti-undead Mythal, whereas there's too much risk of losing the trail completely if we neglect Wetwind. I don't want to leave the girls on their own right now, but I want to give Senaril a clean getaway and chance at murdering us at her leisure even less.

[Corwin]

I'll save Neve and Sylvie at least, dammit!

[Merc]

Nah, I'll stick with Arachiel, I did say I would go with her. I won't deny Janson's company or someone else's, but Janson can stick it out with his girlfriend and go double dating with Aaeru if that's what he wants.

[Anastasia]

Whatever works for you guys. Right now I'm tentatively looking at Whurric+Arachiel and Janson+Aaeru+Neveril+Josa+Sylvie.

[Ebiris]

So long as at least one PC is following up clues in Wetwind I'm happy, although it might be a good idea for Josa to help Whurric and the ball on that.

[Anastasia]

Sounds good. So Josa+Whurric+Arachiel and Janson+Aaeru+Neveril+Sylvie.

[Corwin]

Agreed.

[Anastasia]

Also! Orval and Yuria's untimely demises have made one point. From now on, could you note what treasures you keep at home and what you take with you? Just a little tag by the item or a separate category for homebound items will suffice. Thanks!

[Yuthirin]

Good idea.

[Anastasia]

Added Deadeye to house rules under feats. It's just the normal feat from Dragon Compendium with the errata applied.

[Anastasia]

Added a new banned spell to houserules: Hunter's Mercy from the Spell Compendium. An autocrit effect isn't first level magic.
