The leader of the expedition, the Dwarf we didn't have a chance to talk to before, the Dwarf we've delved into Vlag alongside with and I want to hear more of, and the two Knightly Order leaders. Borek is the one I'm possibly the most interested in, of this group. I'd love to get his perspective on what he thinks of all this and how he feels about all this.
Also, I feel like his opinion is the most important one, here. For the purpose of the future and influences and effects on the Expedition, I mean.
He's the leader of the expedition, and he's just seen Mathilde in action. I don't mean just in terms of her showing her Wizard chops. But in terms of her revealing Vlag, and arguing for taking care of it, and thus playing a decent part in the fact that the Expedition even got involved in all this. Sure, it meant they lifted the siege of a hold. But it also meant they lost 50+ people. What happens if that sort of thing happens again? If the Expedition gets itself involved in another cause or another mystery?
So, I want to see what Borek thinks of, and feels about, Mathilde.
... Also, I want to maybe hear him and Mathilde talking about Karak Eight Peaks; as part of drawing a comparison to past history, and the current endeavor they are on right now. The process of reclaiming and reconquering it. How it went from a glimmer of hope, to an unexpected runaway success. And thus, how Karak-reclaiming might happen again. Maybe they'll talk about what worked and why it worked. What sorts of things need to be kept in mind. How to approach a problem in a way that it can be solved, and so on.
The Uzkulak thing... I'm curious enough to want to take a look at it. The Combes, I'd rather stay away from.
As for the 3 Light Journeyman -- eh, they don't need looking after. They have a Magister to take care of them. Each of them also has 2 others, 2 fellow journeymen, to look after them. Seriously, only Esbern and Seija worry me less, of the non-Gold-Wizards on the expedition. This is a group of 4 people, they've got a good support structure.
If I were feeling more responsible-Wizard-leader-ish, I'd probably replace at least some of the human or Gotrek options with checking on some of the Wizards we haven't checked in on yet, but... I dunno.
... Also, I guess Max and Johann and Hubert could be a single option themselves -- or Esbern and Seija -- could be options too, but... ironically/amusingly, I dunno. There's that aspect of "One group we already work with for years, and the other group is tightly integrated with their Knightly Order."
EDIT: Added in a vote for Asarnil, too. Because I want to follow up on the battlefield scene, with another conversation or two. Asarnil could be a connection/contact (or even quasi-friend?) we make that lasts past the Expedition. (Well okay, I mean in the sense of "a contact who wanders around the Old World a lot, and who is not going back to a Dwarf Karak, and who is not a Wizard and thus part of a College.")
i.e. We had a post-battle talking scene with him, but now I want more, too. Also, that post-battle talk was interesting all its own. I liked Asarnil pointing out the "Everybody always talks about the Bloodthirsters, but..." thing.
Also, realized a possible reason to be curious about a Light Wizard talky talk; because they landed the finishing blow on the Higher Daemon, and so Mathilde might be interested in hearing about that. ... Heck. Mathilde may be interested in just hearing more about Hysh in general. Like about what being in a Chorus is like, and what their perspective of the battle was like. Still not one of my preferred options, but at least it feels more reasonable than the slight feel of suspicious "Dammit, we half-feel like we need to keep digging here because of canon character status... But at the same time, we know that we shouldn't meta too hard... Argh. ><" uncertainty. (Uncertainty can suck to feel, IC or OOC. =/)
