Eoni Daflin:
I'd like to reprise Eoni, but will work with the story if it's better to start something new. Though if I do start a new character, I'd like to start it 1st level.
I agree; it really depends on what you have in mind. Sarah's level 6, so if that's the level you're shooting for I'd like to bring her back -- particularly if Eoni is coming back. I could even see increasing her some (given the passage of time) if that's where the player level will be. But if the player level is lower, I'd prefer to start someone new.
And welcome Dergen and Argleg!
And yes, still tracking down Vaxfur.
