Ment

Well, Alaria, for example, will likely join after the quest (if she decides to join). They might not become close friends in such a short time, but they won't be complete strangers either. And they'll be battle companions, with one or two more missions ahead (where someone might die).
Besides, I'll probably sign up for the first tournament, and I'll need a good reason to let the players' characters win if we meet. "Owing a favor" can serve as a small additional reason. ))
And I'm signing up because if you give me a strong samurai opponent, he'll take first place and go to the next tournament, and that will be epic! I need to make sure that doesn't happen, sorry.
