Yes, spots are still open as plenty of people are needed for this as multiple mercenaries would be nice. I'd say (at least right now), a max of 20 people. Which is a lot and something I don't expect to happen. As the story progresses, we'll see how many people are needed and what not. And yes, Kyelin, that could be a possibility. They might decide to work together and split the bounty, but that's up to the two groups and depends on how they interact. 

OOC should be up tonight or tomorrow night.
