Cooool....
I'd go for another character, something more fighty and sinister.
I could pick up with Dak as well, though. He's fun. (If I could have him back, that is...)
It would be cool to meet our PC's from this campaign as NPC's in the next one...I'd like to see how they turn out! The PC's go to visit this strange, cave dwelling Greenbond they've heard of, and while they're there, a long expected party shows up...
