[QUOTE="Wednesday Boy, post: 6049289, member: 53678"] I like [MENTION=20323]Quickleaf[/MENTION] 's suggestion to have the characters pulled in separate directions by two objectives. But I'd also have a frank discussion with the players about how the size of the group isn't working and it needs to be split in two. Then I'd collaborate on how to split the group and have discussions on ways to alter the connections between characters so their relationship still works or gets more interesting from a story standpoint. For example, like Quickleaf suggested, separating the bard and magician could add drama to the relationship. Or start resolving some of the connections--the orc shaman learns that the dwarf's father spent his last days in Waterdeep (where incidentally Quest A is taking place). Now there's no reason that the shaman has to stay by the dwarf's side. Bottom line is, I think you can resolve it by everyone acknowledging the issue and collaborating on splitting into two groups. (But that's without knowing the people and emotions involved.) [/QUOTE]
