[@Strange Rodent]  That sounds good too.  It would give a chance for her positive skills to be noticed by someone who wouldn't underestimate their value.  I know that both Monica and Dmitri will need places in the structure of things but I don't have a strong gut feeling for where they belong, so I left that up to others without suggesting anything.

Though, I have a strong suspicion that staying in this city would not further the plot unless we want to set up an Alamo situation.  So, the Princess will need to have a destination and motive for going there.  Though, the Orcs could provide a temporary haven and would have differing information regarding legends and whatnot.  Otherwise, I'm at a loss for ideas there as well.
