[@shylarah] Mhm, yeah, I know that lot. One of the things our DM established is that we can't always murder everything. That's why she's got her own XP system. Plus my premise is fairly simple: my character is gravely ill, and they need to get the cure. It's rare, in a tricky location, and very valuable. The cure will, of course, be a plant monster that they'll have to fight, but since we've all got difficult schedules we have a sort-of oneshot basis on things - there's an overarching story, but not all players or characters need to be present.
