Ha!  Well, we'll see...<br/><br/>About the pace, of course, while it might interfere with realism a bit, I think that's necessary, in these play-by-post settings, to allow action to move a little more quickly - and therefore to have characters change or adapt a little faster than is likely in real life.  I don't mind that at all.<br/><br/>In the spirit of being helpful, of course, I could make a couple of suggestions: Gwyn hasn't been established as making it back to the manor yet.  There's still the opportunity for a brief brawl, in the tavern or on the way home - something easily dealt with, a drunken, untrained peasant shouldn't give her much trouble if he's not as big as the blacksmith, but he might still land a hit or two by luck or surprise.  If Lisa sees how that plays out, she might understand more about what roleplaying is "expected".<br/><br/>Or - more far-fetched and problematic ... no, I have to think about that, I'll come back to it.<br/>...well, ok.  If she has such a problem with kissing, being new to it... stereotypical though it is, it might be easier with Daria.  So just claim the person who took advantage of a soused sorceress was the dark-haired mysterous woman, or some other unknown... then you can enlist Daria to do a very simple roleplay.  ;)   But... that might be even harder for Lisa to accept, I don't know... it could go either way.  Just trying to contribute.   ;D
