@Zool But I like MacKenzie and really want to see where you take her. I'm a fan of her character. ;_;

Is staying really not an option?

@Zool My working plan for the RP was to eventually put the players in charge of their own factions, where they could lead the fight against the Voidspawn in much the same way the Witch does. Of course, I don't think anybody signed up for a Nation RP, and I wanted the PCs to work together, so I was thinking maybe they'd all be part of the same faction - like Chatak's, for instance. Killing the Witch wasn't supposed to be the end goal, but it was supposed to be perceived as the end goal because it plays a role in the PCs' development. If they can develop a more nuanced judgment of the world, the experience gained will help them unite the world peacefully, which the Witch was unable to do.

@Zool But that's the thing, though - I think the experience you were looking for is one I wanted to deliver. I want your characters to be important protagonists to this story. They're not supposed to be 'side characters.' If I'm not delivering that, something needs to change.

And you're not so unimportant that dropping out wouldn't be felt. I think changing things for you would be worth the effort.

@Zool I had a feeling that was the mistake I was making. I can change up the villain. What do I need to do?

@Zool I have some difficulty discerning whether that was sarcasm. ;_;

Well I guess the civilians who Yakeru saved were perhaps of a family who did not make it out in time?

@TheFox

Sure! That's feasible. They could be a family that stayed behind to support their troops. The goblins operate on the assumption that anyone who didn't escape is a combatant, so the family was likely captured because they didn't put up an actual fight.

A few things I should clear up.

Most civilians were unharmed. Of the city's 30,000 residents, 5 stayed behind to fight and got killed in the crossfire. The rest, she'd given time to escape by leaking her arrival ahead of time.
The three hundred captives are all soldiers, men who either fled or surrendered.
Around 7700 soldiers were killed in the fight. 2000 retreated safely out of the city.

They'll Ru the day they opposed the Witch.

Yakeru 'bout to get the Yank-er-oo

@Scarifar I designed your opening post with that assumption in mind anyway, so we are aligned. Let's roll! :D
