[Quiet Man Cometh]

I don't think there should be any DEM at all on either end because it basically means plot failure. With the sudden appearance of that many rats it didn't look to me like everyone was going to make it out of the fight and if a character dies in RP, is stays dead. Hence I brought the jack in to even the odds.

Anyway, war event took priority at the time and I decided to move things along since it did seem the lot of us were at a block. On the whole though, I'd rather see plot and story moved forward by the cat's own actions and initiative rather than outside forces creating and solving problems on a regular basis.

I don't mind players bringing in things but keep in mind that events that do happen affect every character and I want to avoid too much chaos because of constant epic scale events that don't have a lot to with developing the storyline.
