I like the idea of focusing on fewer characters for his Abovebright crawl. Who should he take? Tagget is the obvious first choice. Other than that, I'm sure whoever goes will have a reason to do so. I do think that somehow getting Downer's brother, Aristide, to go along with them would be interesting. I like their dynamic and want to get some more history. Besides, ever since Aristide went into whining mode to Malphia at Lolth's temple I've had a soft spot for him. ("...Downer killed my imp. My head hurts.")
