(posted once more this 'round' just to get the pleasantries out of the way so to say, and to bounce something off to those who haven't posted yet, fwiw)

I'm enjoying this one :). 

also [@Red Wizard] I changed my CS a bit as you said to make the char a bit more dangerous, but tried to make him not too OP. Also, you said in the initial post we have a lot of control over the game. I was wondering to what degree we are in charge of, e.g. timeskips, loot, etc. like in the current situation (Ricon leading us to some caches), as I can imagine keeping everyone on the same 'line' would become a bit more difficult then.
