Okay, time to move things along again. I haven't found anyone who wants to take over one of our two vacant PCs, and right now I'm leery about adding another new character, so I think we are going to reduce our group back down to four, which was my original plan. To reduce the clutter, I'm going to have Jacopo strike off on his own. That gives him option of coming back later if we need him, and I don't think its terribly out of character given his minor paranoia. Arath will stick with you as a DMPC for this time.
