I was drawn in by the cool flavor text which turned out to be annoyingly cliche.K, done with my rant- now let us return the thread to its actual purpose.I agree with Ogrork- if you're going to use WoL- you should help the PCs along in their quests with them... granting you're willing to have the entire party side-tracked on a quest for a single character, many times of which the party can't participate in.Vorp</blockquote>
