This sounds good! I just need to organize a proper party and move in.
Thanks for that positive view! A group of 6 33-40 would be fine there I
take it. At least if there is already another group running rampant! Looks
like I will be headed back.

P.S. I realize that i saw a very very small part of Paw my first trip which
is why I qualified it by saying up to the double doors. We did in fact go a
bit beyond that, but were trained back out and decided to play it safe and
learn a bit more before pushing in too far. On the other hand...fighting in
and seeing what is there has a lot of appeal!
