These write-ups are kind of a mess and come across as very first-drafty IMO, but I think this is how I feel about our supporting cast. Really, the hardest part about this is that the lowest opinion I have of any of them is just indifference, there isn't anyone that I objectively dislike.

I think Daley's right. Okay...

Updated NPC list: http://pastebin.com/PKt9Lqc7

Top 3 tiers separated into groups of 5. 4th tier above unranked made 10.

"No opinion" is "Unranked" now. Unranked NPCs with a positive opinion are noted with a (+), those without I simply lack an opinion for. These are the most likely to change as more objective thought are put into them, and since they lack a tangible rank, it just feels "easier", since I'm reluctant to change rankings in retrospect unless I've put enough objective thought into it.

Hoo boy, where to begin...

Winter: From the very beginning Winter always seemed to be that one NPC that we were supposed to feel for. She was always helpful without question, her antics were entertaining, and she stuck through it all even when it got it's worst. Then she was taken away from us. And when it seemed like she had been turned into the enemy, we realized she was still herself. We were SO CLOSE to getting her back, and then she was taken away again. On that day, the party curb-stomped a villain harder than they ever had before. Because she took Winter from us. Again. As time went by, we learned of her fate and met with her again, and while she remained on the opposing side, it was clear she was still herself, even if she had been deceived. Winter's never changed, she's always been her same good self, and in spite of everything the party's done, some of which rather questionable, she never changed. While Miss R might be our favorite running gag who ultimately became an awesome character in her own right, there's one thing that differentiates her from Winter to me. Winter is weathering the storm, inside the belly of the beast she continues to remain herself, even when used as a plaything by Ephestral. She's our dear friend, but even if she wasn't that, she's also a diamond in the rough amongst the Raelites, an innocent woman with only the best intentions. And in spite of all the things we've done she still considers us heroes. For that, in my mind, she has to be #1. We could change the world and create a paradise, but as long as she remains in the clutches of Rael... we still have work to do.

Saya: In some of the same vein as the logic used for Winter, Saya's rank bumps up in my mind. Again she's another NPC that views us as heroes in spite of all the stupid, questionable things we tend to do. She's something we rarely have, something welcome, something we need more of: an ally on the outside. We have our NPC brigade but some of them qualify more as groupies than true allies. Saya's what we need more of, in my opinion.

Atharathes: An NPC that has legitimately changed in a positive way from our actions. Even though she was technically a harmless extra for a good period of time, she ultimately changed and became a beloved member of the group. As far as our zany crew of NPCs goes she has quite a lot of funny scenes, and in general is just an entertaining member of the crew.

Ephestral: Honestly the sort we need more of. While she's a villain and undoubtedly evil, some of her actions even downright deplorable and spiteful, she still manages to remain (and this is a facet subject to my opinion rather harshly) INTERESTING. Yes she is powerful, and yes she holds all the cards while remaining on her high horse, but most of what we've seen out of her seems believable enough without coming across as having been mandated by the plot. More importantly, despite her position as villain, she seems more like a person and less an incarnation of the DM's plot. Rael himself is an interesting character but the concept of "omnipotent wizard as strong as the power of PLOT" is a tired one that was the whole reasoning for the party's exit of the Twilight.

You decide to investigate this room a little more thoroughly. Reaching into your bag you retrieve a sunrod and light it up, illuminating the room around you. Immediately you can spot a huge difference that you hadn't seen before, several of the books on the shelves are missing, and a couple are strewn about haphazardly on the floor.

While that isn't exactly solid evidence to suggest the presence of someone in the villa, it is a little odd. Examining the books on the floor, you realize the titles are written in a language you don't recognize. The nearest bookshelf seems to contain a variety of books all written in this same language. Acting on a hunch you examine a different book case, and while you don't recognize the language the books are written on here either, it is clearly another language, and these books remain untouched.

Something else occurs to you last minute as you scan around the room one more time, the several thick layers of dust covering the room is notably absent from many of the books you had examined.

Armed with this knowledge you now know that somebody is or was here fairly reasonably. Nothing else seems all too interesting or out of the ordinary here, so all that's left is to explore the rest of the villa. You are slightly more alert to your surroundings, having uncovered minor evidence of someone's presence here.

Carefully opening the door, you find yourself on a second story hallway. You can see quite a bit of the first floor from here, including the door you yanked off the hinges. There are no signs of anybody waiting in ambush from this vantage point, and from here.

Immediately nearby you can see two doors, one of which left slightly ajar. You listen closely but hear no sound coming from inside.

==========

A: Investigate the room left open
B: Investigate the other door
C: Head downstairs to the first floor

You look up at the balcony above you and ponder at climbing up there for a moment. Nodding to yourself, you sort through your various tools and procure some equipment to assist you in climbing.

Though it's not a silent endeavor you manage to climb up to the balcony. Retrieving your tools you glance around, this balcony lads straight into the villa, though the inside seems to be rather dark. With no other choice besides climbing back down you make your way into the dark room. You carefully examine in your surroundings... this room from what you can tell looks as if it was once a study, several book cases packed with some no doubt old books abound the walls.

If there's anything else in here however, it is hard to tell given the poor lighting. You could bust out a sunrod and examine the room more thoroughly with a proper light source, or you could head onward, and explore more of the villa.

==========

A: Examine the study more closely
B: Exit the study and continue onward

You decide it might be better to take a look around the villa rather than march straight through the door you just "opened". Doing your best to remain quiet as you do so, you walk around to the side of the place. It's just as decrepit and run down as the front, and there's no real signs that anyone has been here in quite some time.

The villa itself is quite large, and you almost wonder how or why one person would live here by themselves. Such a luxrious building, you had no idea anything like this was all the way out here. While pondering this you stay alert, and though the surroundings are still eerily silent, you don't encounter anybody. The lingering feeling that you are being watched could likely be paranoia.

After a short while you discover what looks to be an old wooden door leading down to what you can only suspect is a basement level used for storage. Aside from that, you also spot a balcony above you that, with a little bit of work with your tools, you could possibly climb up to and enter the villa from the second floor. As you re-examine the balcony however you realize there's no telling exactly how sturdy it really is.

==========

You've found quite a few entrances into the villa

A: Open up the cellar and explore down below
B: Use your tools and attempt to climb up to the balcony
C: Head back to the front door after all

You don't want to risk getting tired, and you'll probably not be able to outrun the scout anyway. You decide to head on at a normal pace, keeping watch around you to prevent being caught off guard again.

The remainder of the trip is eerily silent, and when you finally reach the villa, you are put off by the lack of anyone waiting for you. Of course, these are assassins you are dealing with, so it's likely they're in hiding, but at the same time, you expected to spot at least ONE guard.

The villa has clearly seen better days, the entire outside has submitted to the growth of the local fauna, and the structure is in obvious disrepair. This was likely a really nice estate before time took a bat to it. It's almost a sad scene, but you continue in regardless.

As you cautiously approach the front door, you listen for any sort of movement, but to no avail, there is only silence. If there is anybody here waiting, they are experts at remaining silent, it seems. You reach a hand forward and with a deep breath, grasp the doorknob with one hand. To your surprise, it turns easily enough. You begin to slowly, gently pull the door open, but are met with a bit of resistance. Instinctively you pull a little harder, but in your efforts you loudly yank the door off of it's rusted, decrepit hinges, causing it to fall to the ground and echo throughout the estate.

"Crap." you think to yourself, as you inch backwards and keep your hand on your greatsword, ready for somebody or something to leap out at you.

Nothing does. You stand in silence for a few moments more, but nothing happens.

==========

A: Venture in the front door.
B: Take a look around the villa.

You venture onward, your diversion having taken a bit of time off your schedule, but you don't suspect it should be much of a problem; after all, it's possible there's nobody even waiting for you where you're headed and this could all be a wild goose chase. Even, you can't shake the uneasy feeling that you're being watched. Out here in the open by yourself, and in the middle of nowhere, if somebody had time to adequately setup a camouflaged position to watch for an obviously well-armed mercenary coming to find them, well...

These thoughts plague your mind for a few minutes until you suddenly stop, feeling a sharp sting in your arm. You grit your teeth and find that you had been grazed by something sharp and tiny. A needle perhaps? You glance around but don't see where it came from, but now you are certain that somebody doesn't want you finding their hideout.

You duck down into some tall grass nearby, which provides some cover, but you aren't exactly the sneaking type clad in your clunky armor. You peer around looking for where your assailant could possibly be, to no avail. Several minutes pass in dead silence before you are convinced that whoever they are, they've run away.

...So now they know that you are coming. You aren't too far away from where Ika directed you, thankfully. However, with the possibility of these assassins securing a perimeter around the villa in preparation for your arrival, it may be a good idea to book it, and try to get there before they can prepare a defense. On the other hand, this would be tiring, and it could be too late already, leaving you to fend off a prepared defense while also dealing with fatigue.

==========

A: You have no time to waste, let's make a forced march and get there quickly.
B: Facing these assassins while tired is simply asking for death. Continue at a normal pace.

"...Hey." You look to Anna, realizing it just isn't in you to leave her like this, "They know you're here. But I've got a place you could stay. It's not much, but you'd probably be safer there."

She smiles, but shakes her head, "I couldn't ask you to do any more for me than you already have. I'm sure your business is more important than somebody like me, right?"

"No, my business is just about me, but my life isn't at stake. It's a bit of a trip but I can take you." You're adamant about this, not wanting the death of this woman weighing on your conscience if you can help it. She looks like she is about to object for a moment, but then relents, and nods. Her smile returns quickly afterwards.

"Thank you so much. It must be fate that I ran into you, Lucas." she politely bows, truly grateful for your help. "...But with that said, if it's too far out of your way, it should be alright to just tell me where to go. I know how to get back to town from here, and I have my doubts that more of them will be coming for at least a day. Those men... were nothing, less than nothing to Legato. He probably thought of them as a nuisance and sent them to go do some busywork off-island to get them out of his hair. Since they failed, if he truly cares enough, he'll probably send others but there will be time until then."

You're uncertain yourself, but Anna seems confident. She probably knows more about how Legato operates than you do, so you've little choice but to trust her on this. You describe your old house and how to get there, and she looks content. You stay with her and help her pack a few things before she decides to head off. As you part ways she grabs your hand and squeezes gently, and judging by the look on her face, the amount of gratitude she has for you is beyond description.

You've not only saved a life, but you've also made a friend that will not soon forget your kindness.

With everything in order, you resume your original quest, in search of the abandoned villa.
