Okay, people, it would seem that we have a little problem...
When this chapter started, we had five people: TFO, Zhure, CS, Jarval, and Dalamar.
TFO has disappeared... I have no idea where he went.
Zhure has made note of his leave.
That leaves us with three... strangely, that's the lowest number of people this game has ever seen. It began with four, and has fluctuated quite a bit since then...
So, do we feel comfortable with only three PCs? Or would you prefer to gather some recruits? You're in a town where that would certainly be possible... Cara'nor is the largest city in the northern part of Kahasal, and it is the only one with major ports, so there are definitely good IC reasons for other adventurers to be in town.
I'll leave the decision up to you. I'll tell you that I won't pull any punches when it comes to what you're up against... the world is the world, regardless of whether you're one person or a small army, and what you face is what you face.
So I'll leave the decision up to you: do you want to gather more people, or do you want to go as you are?
