Your character can disobey the Dungeon Keeper's orders and try to do whatever he or she wants during a mission. Of course, the Dungeon Keeper/ more loyal champions may try to stop you, and blatantly disregarding his orders will almost always lead to a consequence of some sort, like a demotion, scolding, or 'fun' little trip to the prison/torture pit.

@KabenSaal, I haven't forgotten about that Empyrean. He'll use it only when he desperately needs to, though, because he's only got that one little bit and hasn't figured out how to get more, short of begging.

Well, now Torrens and D'artagne are in the terrible position of deciding whether to kill one another. Perhaps they could gang up on the shaman, but unless D'Artagne helps the orcs there's no way that the horde is going to get where they need to go without having to slaughter their way through hundreds of angry orcs. And the King.

Say, maybe Emily should come back sometime soon?

So, I posted in the IC.

Who would like to volunteer their character to be host to Mar? He won't take control of them, just make a home out of them for a time, and possibly more than once.

Can be with char consent, or without their consent. The latter requires them to have a wound, maybe the former as well.

Personally, I want to see if @Lugubrious's character, Clotho, would be interested in it.
