Yep. Small groups can write really cool things.

Yeah. Any ideas about what Kallyr's "personal service" to King Broyan was? Was she part of his ring?

Sure - I just would recommend against her being the central figure in the Bat-blat.

I fully agree with this - except I'd have a roleplayer for Broyan as well. Poor Jorskandros gets to be the wargamer!
