To continue the conversation from the recruitment thread, I think that Tamari and Neeral can get along just fine, now that I've read her story! She seems very nice. Neeral grew up in a culture that talked a lot about how much they hated gnomes, but they probably never actually met any, because no gnome clan would try to impinge on a powerful dragon's territory. So when Tamari turned out to be nice, Neeral just assumed that that was another thing her tribe was wrong about. Tamari might have helped Neeral a lot by teaching her Common, since her tribe only ever spoke Draconic.<br/><br/>WS, can I suggest that for combat, you allow PCs to take their turns in combat in any order? That way, each player isn't waiting on the players in front of them before they can take their turn. Instead, the PCs act in whatever order their players find it convenient to post, and then the NPCs take their actions, then it's back to the PCs.
