[/SPOILER] now IF they get into the story the town they are in is about to be attacked by an undead hoard lead by a death knight with ties to 4 of the 7 of them and the 3 that DON'T have ties to the DK have ties to other players and all but 1 of them have ties to the town... I expect if the players all use there resources to the max, the DK doesn't stand a chance... BUT they may split the party, we may end up with only 5 players, they may end up with 5 players AND split the party... I still expect the noncasters to be the last choices. Now there are a dozen possible players, (and one loved my fighter 3 years ago since I based her on a 4e warlord) and I wont know for sure who is free Friday night until Friday night. I might even get a new player (although that has never happened) because the DM who used to run games told me he did twice in his 12 years of running get new players [/QUOTE]
