    I thought I would start a new list, since the last one was getting a
tad long.
    Jim, you have renewed my interest in this plot, and hopefully
Damon's as well.  Basically, the question of whether or not the
characters will succeed is a moot one.  Jim has said we will, but
honestly, even if he hadn't said it, of course the characters would
succeed.  I understand what Damon was saying in his e-mail, but we
always know the characters will succeed.  How many times have we failed,
in any campaign?  Sure, we lose battles, but how often do we lose the
war?  All Jim really did was verbalize it.
    So the question now is, how well will the party succeed?  Whosoever
grasps the power controls the destiny.  That's a pretty tall order.
Will one of the Riders succeed?  Will one of the Black Legion?  Celane?
How will Magnus' world differ from Quasit's?  Escrima's?  Gadget's?
Will the party turn against each other to claim the power?  In my
opinion, the question of how the adventure will end, and who will
imprint the world with their desires, is infinitely more interesting
than whether or not the group will succeed at all.  Hopefully Damon
agrees.
