My natural instinct is that Monkey would go "Pfft, Emilia thinks she can force people fight to the death over a relic? Imma gonna steal it so they have nothing to die over!" But I get the feeling that the most likely result is getting bitchsmacked by Emilia, and then horrible horrible things happening to Monkey. And I don't want horrible things happening to Monkey. :(

The scene that Monkey could super help with would be Arcadia: "Oh, you guys are trapped? Here, let me transform into a giant roc and start ferrying the people who wanna go home back. Or fix all the stuff with my transformation powers over a couple of days." But unless that's desired for me to get all the NPCs to safety, it could again cut down the drama of the situation.

Then there's getting the gang back together with Chen and Ruxen and Monkey, but Ruxen hates Monkey, Monkey loves to tease Ruxen, and Chen and Monkey are solidly, 'You're vaguely competent. Carry on.' at each other.
