Now now, don't think too conventionally, Renose.We get another support person, and then just buff the hell out of Leifr so that he takes negative damage from everyone.
Negative Damage?
Leifr is so buffed up so much he becomes a masochist that gets
healed when he takes damage?
Great. Now Renose'll never kill him and my other character ideas will always take a backseat to a masochistic Noble in a frilly tunic.
Why don't you guys just keep casting Haste / forcing a vial of liquefied Haste down Fiore's throat so that he's so fast he can stab every enemy in the heart, throat, and eyes as soon as combat begins. Thrice.
EDIT:

As he faced his companions though, he realized that, even as three monsters were rushing towards them, they were DISCUSSING what they were going to do.
“Why are you all even...” He made some flabbergasted, exasperated motion towards everything, before kicking his reins and saying,
“Let's just go.”
This is exactly what went through my mind as I wrote Leifr announcing his plans. I contemplated having Leifr just sheathe his sword, spin his horse around and then grab Lyrisa as he charges away from the enemies and calling back to Allereun and Fiore "GG, I'm out, and I'm taking the witch-girl with me. Let's meet up again at Calgeth if you survive lol."
But that sounded too mean and uncharacteristically selfish, so Leifr will make his attention known ("lol, 2many monsters, let's GG and quit guys before we get spawn-camped") and then in my next post actually snatching Lyrisa and running for the hills.
