I think the outcome where the girls had to rescue the militia would be a best case scenario, yes?  :P<br/><br/>btw, heads up... apologies if I don't get a post in within the next week.  I'll be out of town and won't be back until the end of next week.  May be able to peep in here and there, but not sure if I'll have time to write a post.<br/><br/>I'm fine if you all want to set off on the quest before I'm back - and even to narrate a sentence of two on my behalf based on how I've been writing for Vana.<br/><br/>It's safe to assume she's staying with the group, her mischievous sense of fun covered by her usually calm exterior.  ;D  And when I'm back, I can figure ways for her curiosity to lead her to make ill-advised choices  :P
