Consider this: Gregor and Derick have a duel with same quality weapons (Iron, for example) and in neutral conditions (no terrain, supports and so on). On whom you would bet?

Derick the Swordmaster of Doom
Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

Also Riven will be plot-vanished if IronyOwl doesn't show up and decided if he wants to continue V:

I'd like Valor to get a happy ending, but it'd make him a bit of a Karma Houdini.

How so?

Up until around Chapter 5 or so, Valor was nearly entirely motivated by his own gains. After that, when he thought he'd lost all that, was when started to really actually value the people around him beyond combat assets (Except Seyena, he's been after her since Chapter 2).
That's hardly being a karma houdini, that's character development. If he had, for example, left another major protagonist to die or even murdered him/her and then went on to a happy ending, that would be pretty houdini-ish.

Exactly. Being human isn't being houdini.

Also I just noticed something in the Handbook:

Quote from: Ye Old Sacrede Handbooke
Game Master -
As a game master, you have to keep the game moving from “chapter” to “chapter,” or map to
map. Keep interest in the proceedings, and have a story in mind, but allow for certain actions of the
players to make changes, either subtle or grand. Provide them with a challenge; a hallmark of the Fire
Emblem series is its difficulty, after all.

Hue.

Yeah, Valor wouldn't be pulling a houdini at all. The only likelyhood of that happening is if Adrien got a happy ending :P

Dude, don't worry. You have it down.
Yeah. We may complain bitterly from time to time, but I think you found the best balance: challenging enough that we can lose characters, and have come close on several occasions, but not so brutally difficult that we will lose characters no matter how hard we try. We could have had casualties any number of times, but we pulled it off by the skin of our collective teeth each time and that makes us (or me, at least) feel mighty.

The only person that's going to be a houdini is Chris, more than likely.

Chris will tragically die, after marrying Ami, on top of the church tower, killed by no one else than Ernest's spiteful ghost, who will drive the Murder Blade right through his heart after whispering, finally, that he loved Chris first and Ami is merely a relationship-impostor.

I always thought Valor was the perfect realist foil for the rest of the team's over-involved, moralistic crusading.

Hmmm, I may be forgetting something, but it's been bothering me for a little bit, now.  Is there a particular reason why the door we're passing right now is grey instead of brown? 

Also, we may not want to get too spread out if that yawn's our one-turn warning for walking right into some patrol or something.  Just sayin', is all. ^_^
