I'm fine.Aden, of course, is a trained professional, who, besides being cynical and heartbroken, is really focused on his core role. He will always try to do a stealthy approach, even when it is not necessary -- it is his role. Of course, the dinosaur-jumping acton might bother him, but it does not bother me (the player) at all.I took some care doing Aden's background story, and I think it pretty much explains him and his behaviour. Aden being more the silent guy, he's not going to talk a lot at all, and is certainly not the one who will ask others to wait until he has done his thing -- we might have to resort to that kind of group planning discussion to improve tactics later on, but for the beginning, I'd really like to stay in character as much as I can. I hope you don't mind  his personality -- for me, Aden has already come alive, and I am looking forward to seeing his motivation to fight drow put into action.On a more specific note: I'm not sure what lets us expect traps / ambush or not. I'd rather search one time too many than vice versa. We don't have time pressure right now, so I think this is also a good opportunity to get to know the different approaches other characters will take. I think it is both important and fun so see how differently we would approach the site, and at the same time I don't think we did a major mistake yet. So it's good we get to know each other. One thing I've seen is that we all acted simultaneously. I'm not saying we need a commander, but of course, we can look at the different party roles and where they will shine. So I'd expect someone (not Aden) to take a lead when we go into combat, etc.Stealth etc. is obviously where Aden shines, so this is where he will go ahead and do the job. Right now this means he's looking for traps.And hopefully, there are none, and that will get us closer to the hunting the drow.</blockquote>
