I haven't finished statting him, but at a thought: Tac didn't have the same moral dilemmas that Elyra had, but since he knew he didn't love performing so much as figuring out how things worked, maybe he begged to accompany Elyra when she left (I think he's going to be slightly younger than her)? She took him along to keep an eye out for him, until he found apprenticeship in the engineering guildhalls.

That works. There can be some ambiguity, too -- We can make Tac her cousin, and his branch of the family was not quite as criminal. Also, Tac being younger may not have been as aware of it. Elyra may never have discussed it with him in great detail, wanting to spare him, so it might surprise him to know the depth of her feelings on the subject.
Is Tac a permanent resident at Sandpoint? If not, we can leave it that Elyra heard from a mutual acquaintance he was in town, and took the first job headed that way (which, perhaps, happened to be with a PC).

As for combat, I think I've been looking at melee support. Weapon Finesse and Dodge for feats, I think, hoping to get into flanking position for sneak attacks, so no need to worry about futzing with your ranged stuff.

OK. And as Ambrus pointed out, the dragon and the priest are melee combatants as well.
Why am I worried about melee combat, anyway? We have a dragon! Admittedly, he has warm brown eyes and a fuzzy coat, but he's still a dragon!
