So... Even though it's already been decided that Whitney will live, I'd still like to put my two cents out as well. 

Considering the circumstances and the possibility of character development, I'd actually prefer it that Whitney would die. Not only does this make far more sense considering the fact a giant legendary dragon is spewing evil gas everywhere, it would also have a far bigger impact on Felt, Vash and probably a couple of other characters who I can't be bothered to remember and would make for a far more interesting story/future plot points. I mean, sure, the GM decides in the end, but I'm still putting this out here :P.
