I know it's not in line with PEG, but that wouldn't be too much of a problem
sense this game will becoming to a head soon. That is one of the reasons I
finally decided to let them Kill Stone. I'm planing on compensating for
Stone's death in my other game I'm running. The current posse are going to
pass into legend and I wanted my first posse to go out with something that
will remembered and hard as hell to over come by any other group. I doubt
any one will remember or know what happens to the posse for my faunally,
which will take place on the Unity.

You are correct, I'm sorry I forgot to mention it.

I let the Wolfe keep the sword because it was part of a larger plot he ended
up in, on his quest to find a new sword. Simon (in my game) allowed it
because the sword called to Wolfe (that it how I got them into the
adventure) and he assumed Evenor chose Wolfe as his new holder.

Before Something About a Sword they had three in the pot. By the time they
got to Stone they had three in the pot, three in Wolfe's hand and one in
Lawton's (they gained only one after SAaS and never seem to spend them until
they really, really, really need them).

I put Stone in his head as a just-dessert for Wolfe's accomplishment and
Stone's failure. Plus I like the "Tragic Templar" thing, his last days spent
with one of the greatest evils held at bay by a legendary hero. Sounds good
for the end of a story. Plus I was thinking that when the game ends and the
posse goes to the Unity, they are never seen again but Stone does (new body
and weaker but still Stone).
