Since others are glad to continue, I would certainly prefer to help them reach the goal of some appropriate nastiness now, so... whatever action is best to that end, I'm happy to steer Bremorel in that direction.  It'll be fun I know, and I do like to see it through.  But then I will withdraw, leaving Bree off somewhere as an irredeemable victim/thrall/dead half-elf/whatever is most suitable!<br/><br/>Miroque, I also didn't think the Paladin could really soak up any spells - yes she presumably held out for a minute or two after being teleported to Hagan, though our characters couldn't know she wasn't teleported straight into chains.  In any event the only way we could have reached her would have been to run, and that likely meant attracting tower patrols that would have killed our chances just as surely.  But who knows: after all, the needs of the story outweigh the needs of the few... no, that's not how it goes.  :-)<br/>
