Se04Ep14 - To hell and back

General Summary

After freeing Milron and making a deal with Sog'thannok, The Doorkickers move on to forge new deals for troops in Sanguera.

Question

Who in the party would your character trust the most with their life?

Miles would trust Rodger most with his life. Miles understands Rodgers morals more than the others in the group.
It's hard to pin down who Lostin would trust most with his life. Ark is too rash (I know, Pot, kettle) while Miles has many grand plans to save us but they are too "Pie in the Sky." Roger would do what he can but his allegiance is rightfully with his family and you can't serve two masters. So that leaves the two Soms. While both show great loyalty and Lostin would be in great hands with either, Lostin would probably lean on Sombra because arcane power always seems greater than martial processes.
Seom Rando usually trusts no one, however, he has learned to extend a modicum of trust to Losten who is the divine kitty that gifted him with Whelm. When granted the glorious hammer, ignoring Losten's further caveats about "blah blah ...bringing it back to it's tribe", he gazed in rapture, and let it shape who he was destined to become. "Thanks, Losten!"
The person in his adventuring party that Rodger would trust the most with his life would be one he hasn't seen in some time. Ark's long lost brother, Kerrick. All the other members of the party are like Rodger's children by proxy. He feels a secret fatherly need to protect them and keep them from harm.But with Kerrick, he always got the sense that the half-elf warrior priest would lay down on the wire to save his brother, and the rest of the party.
Sambra would trust all of the party members with his life. But if he was to chose one, it would probably be Rodger, as he not only has the attitude and creativity to find ways of keeping people alive, he also has a flying carpet that will carry me away.
For Ark Greyhaven, despite Miles being able to literally bring him back from the dead, he feels Rodger would always have his back, allllllllll the way in the back. Rodger at the beginning always seemed to be somewhat a coward, but over time it's more that he's careful. He's an amazing shot, and knows often where to be at the right time. And having the right person at the right time at the right place is priceless. The fact about the cannibalism though does shake him, but Rodger has assured him about the rule of consent.

Synopsis

The group heads back to Sanguera to meet Hamun 'dave' the necromancer and Agatha the banshee. The meeting goes well, with Dave trading a company of undead infantry for a Talisman of Ultimate Evil.
The group then meets with Annadock at the World's End Tavern who proposes a trade, 2 worthy souls for one battalion of armor or calvery. The party mulls over advertising schemes and tricks to get some souls signed up for Mammon, but ultimatly decides this makes the line between The Doorkickers and The Devils much blurrier.
