If you'd prefer the statue-recovery mission can have been recent, and Goruka is following Mourne because she's unwilling to give up on having her as a lover just yet. Or they could be lovers already?<br/><br/>As to Chava, perhaps Goruka has simply aided her or her village at some time in the past (if travelling with Mourne, that could be something they did together)? Or, is Chava's village the one we're coming to aid now?<br/><br/>For Syra, Mourne seems to have a good link already, so perhaps the connection can be through her?<br/><br/>In terms of Victor, it's perfectly plausible that Goruka would've been set up as an Arena Fighter, or Arena Healer, after her stint in the army. She'd have been in it for the Glory (of Gorum) and the Destruction (in Gorum's name) that will have gotten her kicked out at some point. Still, they could've fought and been friends together. She can have shown him something about swordsmanship and he can have shown her something about 'swordsmanship'. If we want them to be an established adventuring group, she might remember him as a skilled fighter with a sense of true justice, someone she might easily have called upon if the situation called for an extra blade or a dose of charm.
