@Mae Well, you could have them (Flabnoose and Fear) carry an item or a blessing, or something, which makes them look slightly normal, or just changes the minds of people in their presence like 'Oh, wait, actually I don't care about this too much'. Only for them to remember a few days later and come chasing after them in a psychotic rage, only for the first event to repeat itself.
@Duthguy Aaron will be going to Defend the Bridge, since I think he has a better chance of getting through it than Jamie, though really they're almost on equal standing. If the Bridge is your preference, though, I don't mind switching them around. You might just need Jamie's soothing presence.
>Aaron and Jamie see the soldiers, and both of them feel their hearts ache. Jamie goes to help them, though she will gain nothing in return (namely EXP), and Aaron, who is not too confident in his first-aid skills, leaves for the market.
