Are you planning to create Lyra as an Extra, Mingnon, or simply a NPC? I certainly don't want to punish you for being creative, but I'm leery of free henchmen. I have no problem if she's just a supporting cast member who remains at Point Respite for the most part, of course.<br/><br/><br/>Also a much belated reply to Healergirl (and others): I think that Point Respite as a phase three makes excellent sense. I also want to launch a follow-up question from that: do you guys want to minimize time in town and focus mostly on adventuring in the wilds?
