Capt. Rutger Smith's Future

[Goldkatana]

Hi,

Just hoping for a little guidance. My players are about to undergo the lighthouse battle. If things get thick, I was thinking of having Capt. Smith swooping the Impossible into the bay ahead of the rest of the flotilla in a (nearly) suicidal attack to keep the gate open and the PC's alive. However, at this point in the story, he has yet to be involved in actual battle. Would I be upsetting the story line if this proves to be his initiation under fire?

Thanks and EXCELLENT campaign. We are LOVING it!

Captain Smith is a side character, so you can be flexible with him. It's still several months out, but he shows up in adventure 5 in an actual combat role. Feel free to have him get his nose bloodied before that, though.
