A thought - could Ambrosia take... is it Xarithe who needs to fill his last spell slot? Into her tummy, where he could have a nice safe rest whilst the rest of the group continues on...? Or are we in a situation of going straight into battle... I'm relaxed either about staying or carrying on... either one is fine by me! Call this the 'have my Xarithe and eat him' solution, maybe...<br/><br/>(the argument for staying would look something like 'the villagers chose to wait to entrust this to professionals, and a delayed rescue is better than a disasterous one...') the argument for moving on has already been made, 'rescue children as soon as possible'.<br/><br/>Yours,<br/><br/>Ambrose
