I was considering just leaving Lao on the ship and not tampering with him since he<em>is</em>BenedictWolfe's character. There are a lot of extra crew members that just float around in NPC land, and if we just assume that he's there but don't explicitly involve him, I think it's an easy out.<br/><br/>I don't think it's entirely<em>necessary</em>to NPC another mercenary, since we do have 4 party members as is? Unless you really want to, ferret. :P
