Yup, interesting to see the characters finally meeting up. Don't split the party.

I should point out that there aren't really Nerwainese bandits, or at least, that the ones I mentioned in my Etruscan post were actually the Grey Winds, with vague rumors of fighting downriver and people just assuming it was them northern ruffians. Of course, this IS a country at war, and as they say, when the cat goes away the mice come out to play, so there'd certainly be bandits around. Just want to make sure I wasn't misunderstood.
