My personal preference would be to come up with a streamlined plot, and then to see how characters fit in.

Our existing plot assumes a lot of characters for whom we don't currently have players: a group of imprisoned Entwives; plantation owner(s) over the Entwife slaves; and several Easterlings who will later give chase after we rescue the Entwives.

Bethberry states that she'd prefer us to come up with a plot that will work with the six posters we currently have, rather than adding others. If this is the case, somehow we have to simplify things or come up with a totally different angle that would dispense with some of these "extra" characters.

I am personally very flexible. I don't mind if we take a different slant on the story and I will gladly see any or all of my characters die or be written off if this helps.
