We looked at the contest synopsis for the various hero-bands: Kallyr, Broyan, and so on. We were very worried to find that our little group of PCs (admittedly mainly Devotees of Humakt) would thrash them in a straight fight. Now, if they had any sense at all, it wouldn't *be* a straight fight, but even so! Close combat for Kallyr's group topping out at 11W2???

But Orlanthi *do* this. In fact, having Kallyr and Broyan not in conflict really will be the startling surprise!

Quite possibly, yes.

Fair description back then, I suspect, if a little biased. I still see her as an idiot who shouldn't be let out without a keeper, but a nice one.
So perhaps she's learnt from that? One hopes she learnt *something* from 1613, after all!

OK with me: I'll leave those more knowledgable to sort out the details.
> How will folk like Kallyr react?
"like" is a problem. Since Broyan and Kallyr continue to work together on and off for years, I don't think there's ever any major disagreement between them. Kallyr might disagree with what he's trying to do, possibly vocally, but I think she'd support him anyway. So who is "like" Kallyr? They're all individuals.

That's quite an assumption. Maybe she's the hot-head who decides that Broyan's a suicidal idiot and they need a new leader?
> Other heroes?
Better go through them one by one. Or see how many responses we can invent, then invent a hero to take each one.
