...So, the spring campaign in McNabbland draws to a close.  What have we
accomplished?

Nightingale has survived every member of the initial party.  That's
certainly worth something.  He drove Sir Brian, my first character, to
leave the party rather than provoke a conflict with him.  He survived the
conflict that killed Keith's first character by sheer toughness; he
survived the conflict that killed Aber and Gor by ditching the rest of the
party at the first opportunity.  

Not only did he survive the midnight raid on Lord Caladon's estate, but by
staying out of the initial conflict he was the only character to leave
that mission with double-digit hit points.  And, in fact, by doing so he
was able to force the party to do what he wanted with the reward from that
raid, making him the only party member to successfully complete any
mission objective.

By a process of character attrition and recreation Nasri has now converted
almost the entire party to a group that supports his character's
objectives.  (The lone exception, Torek, is crippled by the loss of his
bodyguard and surrounded by Nightingale's allies.)  From what I can tell,
it seems that he has also sideswiped any semblance of a plot or a party
objective that the campaign may have originally had. 

Thus I think that Nightingale is clearly in the best situation by far of
any current party member.  I would like to propose that we end this
campaign at the present situation, declare Nasri the winner, and ask him
to never ever do that again.
