She did get to travel a bit before that. Quite a lot, I assume, as the two places are a long way apart. But yes, things didn't work out quite as she expected (there's a surprise!)

Oh, good! Sort of like that "rent-a-shrine" building in Pavis?

True. Anyone would think we'd designed PCs with a chance of survival :)

Sounds like a lot of people are coming to this comclusion. We'd originally thought that just making it a "Lunar" regiment would do the job, but no, clearly not.

YT and Rufelza respectively.

It didn't seem that hard. If we were in an Orlanthi campaign, we'd expect a mix of cults. Instead we're from an Empire that prides itself on being inclusive - why is it suddenly so much harder to have a mix of PCs? (I'm trying hard not to let my natural anti-Lunar prejudices resurface here.)

As I said somewhere, once of the objectives *is* to convert the GM and some players from RQ :) And the previous campaign we shared *did* have the trollkin and the Pentan, plus a duck, a Sundomer and an elf. In Dorastor. No treasure maps :(

Good point.

And he's about to pull most regiments out to invade Heortland. We happily accepted retirement instead :) actually, the start of the invasion could well have included our suicide mission.

Ah, good idea! Or just allies/contacts or whatever. I'm sure a new land grant that was expected to have any chance of survival would include more than 4 people.
