Given that we are starting soon, I think our character relations should be finalized lol I think the easiest way for this is to figure out what Route People who are from outside of Emon want to use to get into Emon, and how long they have been in Emon at the start of this story. That will help us devise a proper timeline of who was what and where with whom.<br/><br/>I'm personally still kind of feeling Keri having been in Emon for a bit, long enough for him to be doing the things I mentioned back in my first post here ( doing odd jobs and occasionally turning a trick or two at a Brothel cuz that's just how this little red boy do ) But I get the sense that may preclude him being able to meet No'lien If they are only arriving in Emon recently after taking a message to Fort D and then making their way south for Emon.<br/><br/>If that is the case and we still want our characters to be acquainted Keys, we could possibly have it that they met a while back in Whitestone as Keri was looking for leads and info in the town.  If so, we should discuss the circumstances of that particular meeting.  Then he leaves for Emon finding no relevant information in Whitestone to his hunt at this time, leaving a  good while before you get asked to travel there. So when you arrive you have reason to seak out your friendly acquaintance to say hi. Or perhaps as your time in Emon gross more complicated you remember your fiery, little monk body said he was probably going to be around Emon for a while and think 'he could be handy in a fight'. IDK, I'm open to additional suggestions. Again I think the key points to establish are when and how long you want your PC to have arrived in Emon.
