Hey Jacques-

I did not mean to ignore your message.  My emailer got it with no date, and 
shunted it out of sight.  I just now read it. forgive my silence.  it is in 
no way a slight on you or your commentary.

The in is easy, its just tough from there

Yea I am not sure how they will take it.

I just ran them through Canyon o' Doom and they did an excellent job RPing 
their cautiousness when dealing with the Flying Buffaloes (and got chips to 
show for it).  This should just further that sort of motif.  Plus both had 
the same big faraway baddy, and a Noble Ranger like Katie should be enough 
to help one of the rangers who is wondering if she is doing the right thing 
(the blessed, not the Hexslinger)

I was thinking on it given the female ranger motif I seem to have going.
I agree on Ms. Karl.

I think it is a true shame they are dumping her.  did she get sidelined or 
did they make a big event of it.
