I will post as necessary, I intend for Arghast to show up at some point but that's all entirely dependent on where the group ends up. I seem to be the only antagonist outside of the bosses right now, and if he ends up fighting anyone I'm going to have to demand a handicap if everyone sticks together. I'm incapable of comprehending this boss fight idea until I just see it happen. Would love to have Arghast interact with some NPCs in the meantime, perhaps in the way Leslie just mentioned, but I'm honestly kind of confused how this is going to work. It seems like we will need a few more NPCs available than have already been spelled out, and I don't know if this will entail Leslie as the GM having to control them, or if the respective player could temporarily RP this character in question. In my opinion, some of these story-prominent NPCs may become spread so thin that it will be more of a hassle for the GM to solely RP them than it would be for everyone to just use them as needed. Perhaps you could post small sheets for these NPCs so we may each have an idea of how you intended them to behave when we temporarily assume them in character interaction?
