Solanne and Harley are currently stuck in collab limbo. Marianne is hiding underneath Hazel's bed and Hazel is sleeping. Just to give a view of where some people are.
I have a better idea. Lets have the camp get attacked by something and go from there. Every one will benefit, Nilara will prove her loylty the duel will get interupted so we wont have to decide who is stronger, and it will further the story as a whole.
I was thinking (Always a dangerous pastime, I know) that all the characters start getting overwhelmed by sheer numbers and end up back to back. Then everyone rallies (including the NPCs) and drives the mosters off. So, after the battle all the characters can get acquainted.
If creating is monster is what you need then give me a bit. Hehehe oh yes...
