On that painting
The way it emphasizes and friends makes me think they're going to do a dumb with the Tupsimati. And when it comes to freeing Ala Mhigo, people are prone to doing dumbs.
So I'm imagining a scenerio more like this:
Thancred: IMMA KILL HIM!
Y'shtola: He's a friend!
Thancred: I'VE GOT A PHOENIX DOWN


Anyway, I'm most likely going to do the Beast Tribe first for that silly dance before the MSQ.
