Semi-PCs We had to begin the game with only two players, and their characters were not of the same culture, so they had yet to meet. The solution was to let each player run two characters; a main character and a temporary "semi-PC." Wilfrid's player also played Talorc's boss Munlaith. Talorc's character also played Wilfrid's boss Torhalm. This allowed me to swap the scene from one party to the other, as they drew steadily closer, while allowing the players to torture each other very effectively.
