[ Will have an actual post up soon, but in regards to Ambrose being out for a little while, one solution is to somewhat write out their character, but in a way that they can easily come back.  Getting carried of my Disa for more 'negotiations', for example.  As much as continuing on without someone isn't something that I like doing, and I would recommend waiting a bit in any case, without any kind of time estimate on how long Ambrose will be, it just isn't feasible to wait for too long. ]
