[@Holy Soldier] Sounds good. Do you mind if Amaya and Mei-Xing are already at the school? I was thinking it might be interesting to have them meet up at the Crossroads then use a few timeskips to get them from there to the Iron Tortoise School. That might take awhile, though lol. This way they'd be well-placed for some action.

[@FantasyChic] Do you have a preference either way? My only misgiving about our characters already being at the school is it'll mean they've been traveling together for awhile. A relationship of some kind will have developed. Not a romantic one necessarily, but SOME kind of relationship. You don't travel into the frigid North with someone without either bonding with or hating that other person lol. Let me know your thoughts.
