I have no problem with Sariloth not joining the main party. I was planning on playing her like that anyway. As far as I can tell, neither of my characters will be part of the main group, but intersecting parts that come and go as needed. I work a lot and have a bunch of obligations so people waiting for me to post for hours at a time isn't what I want. 

Plus I'm not much on making "good" characters that tag along in a group and fight the baddies. I may make a mercenary (i can handle bunches of characters at once), but we will see where we are after the IC is up and chugging along. 

 
Two of the three characters mentioned as OP are mine... I thought 20,000 was a relatively small number. And she just breathes fire... :(
