Okay, so we're getting there.
Al won't quit as long as Isaint stays; again, a mentor spirit thing, Al can't abandon his friends. Or, as he sees them, his co-workers.
So DECIDED: we see the job through.
That takes walking away from negotiations with Cara off the table.
Assault on real world island would not be a good idea (with anyone else I'd assume you were joking...).
Metaplane, there could be trouble during or after wedding.
Real world, there will definitely be huge trouble just to get started, then there could still be trouble during or after the (blood-drenched, body-strewn) wedding.
So our choices for location (which seems to be the main problem) are:
1. Metaplane Lyonnesse
2. Somewhere totally different from Lyonnesse
I think maybe there is an OOC preference among most of us to go for the metaplane thing, but we need to justify it with our characters...
So we think of ways to sweeten the pot (since threats always meet with fierce reactionary resistance).
So what can we get, in terms of help with current job and/or future rewards/benefits if we do this metaplane thing?
