[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6121822, member: 6668292"] Well, to be fair, Han was also higher up in the command structure of the Rebellion as of that point, and him being rescued helped the Rebellion more than it hurt it. But, this also relates back to the "why would they help him" thing. Because they care about him / love him. Sometimes when people are making decisions, that trumps other responsibilities. That's both real life and fiction since forever. How does "Story Now" preclude linking backstories? And, why do backstories need to be linked in order for the party to want to travel together? Anyways, I assume he has a reason because of his expressed wish to keep what he knows as a player as much in line with his PC as possible. He wants to know what his PC knows, and not much beyond that, since it helps him roleplay his character. To that end, I imagine that he had a reason to be with these people in-character, since staying with them probably needs to be a roleplaying decision for the style it sounds like he has. Again, maybe he can clear this assumption of mine up. While I disagree with how you word things, I get your style, and it's perfectly fine as a play style. I get where you're coming from, I think. As always, play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
