[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 6070511, member: 88649"] [sblock=GM Thoughts]Again, I don't think you need worry about Ariel stealing the spotlight or trying to lead the party. You have to understand, I don't [B]want [/B]to do that, Artur. It would be like masturbation. I have absolutely no interest in making things less enjoyable for you guys in this regard. Just trust me on this, and if you have concerns later on, send me a PM. Ariel is just easier for me to NPC and have her feel alive instead of just a picture. I can always remember her personality and have her remain in character. And if I have her lurk and say nothing when I am busy, that's fine too. ;) There is a reason I retired her for another character. If it is her turn to say something or offer an opinion, she will. Most days it will be either her post or a DM post when outside of combat. Less work for me. ;) If you want to give her orders IC in combat you can try that. If she thinks it not the best option, she won't obey and will tell you why. If I have nothing else better (or already written) then she will probably do it. But, she is not a prop, nor a hireling. Though, I might solicite you all OOC at times for her actions regarding spells and such. You should interact with all NPCs as if they are player characters anyway, not hirelings (unless they actually are). As a reminder, you are splitting treasure and XP according to the rules with NPCs, same as if Markas was continuing. Even if Fae is leveling, you all can move yourselves back to Blasingdell without worrying about any encounters again. I think I already said, you can use the opportunity to sell and resupply. Magic item limit is 4000gp per item, if that matters. Roll and record in Arcane Row. Treasure is in the first post, and let me know what you are keeping (if anything) and you can take the gold and split it up. Markas will depart and you can find Ariel in the Constable's Office when you are ready to proceed.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
