The DM has a lot of stuff on his mind already. I'd like to suggest we make it easy on him and add our own sensible reason why our characters are joining the quest. I don't want to make LisztesFerenc feel as if he's some sort of dancing monkey that has to entertain us, it's our responsibility just as much to make it a good story for everyone involved. :-)</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I couldn't agree more, and in no way did I mean to imply that I wanted for the DM to come up with a reason for my character to join in. Quite the opposite: I specifically pointed out that I can easily come up with good (or good enough for me) reasons to join in, and listed a few suggestions -- I also simply consider it common courtesy and important to run any background / setting suggestions by the DM to make sure nothing goes against their plans. Apologies if I was unclear in what I was trying to say.<br/><br/>And yes, Clythia will undoubtedly play a big part in her joining in :-)
