[@BCTheEntity], no hard feelings seriously. I felt it was very compelling, and character building (for everyone else obviously) 

now. i think i will need to change Oskar's circumstances so that he is an armsmen aboard the Sloop, which i think would be easier to incorporate into the party. as for how this should work, me thinks [@Klomster] should run into Oskar. we could say he finds the brig, where Oskar and a few other troopers are imprisoned and recruit them into the boarding party. (yes i am trying to bring a whole squad of imperial guard in to help balance the power a little)
