Firstly, Jonxla, please refer to the rules and correct your post please. Secondly, Carrot, a story can flow just as well with three characters, as they are the primary, main ones we are playing. Smaller characters are controlled by us but not as a 'following them' story as you would do with your main character, just for lines and descriptions. There are more people in the story, but we are the plot-drivers and they are simply tools of the process.
