[QUOTE="Zinovia, post: 4826729, member: 57373"] That's very helpful, thanks. Spoilers: [sblock] It should tie in well in my game given that I have made Lee, Longinus, and Pilus over into genasi. Longinus and Pilus are air genasi, and Lee is a water genasi. I plan to rebuild the MM2 "Genasi Hydromancer" for his statblock, along with some swordmage powers most likely, as he is the mentor to the genasi swordmage in my group. I should be able to come up with some good reasons for Lee to cooperate with Pilus - it's possible that Lee is even related to the other two somehow. Of course given my propensity for meddling, I turned Longinus female and named her Yin Tao Ling. Tao Ling means "Closed Flower". Pilus is named Yin Yun Ching. Yun Ching = "Minister of Clouds". [/sblock] Nah, it's just my strange compulsion to get away from weird fantasy names and use stuff that's more historical and (to me) sounds better. It's not the names that are important, it's the story. So thank you for that! What have they done so far? (spoilers) [sblock] 1) Once they figured out what was going on, the group decided to save the fey in Innenotdar and managed to free Tenacity (I renamed Indomitability as well because it is harder to pronounce). They didn't really try and save the dryad Timbre, but did bind her sword over to Tiljiann with the thought that the living sword would be able to grow into a new tree - keeping the Seela alive. Everything worked out very well actually. Now when they are talking to people trying to warn them that the forest is no longer burning, they tell them "It just went out. Really". Lol. 2) They rescued Haddin and his daughter and brought them along through the forest. Haddin would do annoying stuff like critique their performance after a fight, or golf clap when they won. I tried to make him irritating. He had no respect for the group that had saved him. At one point during a battle in the fire forest involving chokers, the swordmage used a power that swapped the position of two allies. He put Haddin into the grasp of the choker, while moving the rogue out of it. Haddin promptly dominated it, and made it jump rope with its very long arms.
