So, I've seen several state concerns regarding the eventual 'reunion' of Minmax and the GAP; if Kin is not in the picture at that time, the idea is that there would be problems getting them to work together, resulting in conflict between the two.
But what about the GAP's classes? Last time Minmax encountered them, they didn't have adventuring levels at all. This time around, things are different. Could the very fact that they have adventuring levels now reclassify them in Minmax' mind? I imagine that this would come to light in very short order should it come to blows. There is the whole erroneous attribution of the white terror with these goblins, but should Big Ears use a single class ability, at the very least Forgath would be able to work out that he is in fact a paladin, and therefore lawful good, and therefore things aren't necessarily what they seem. Both Minmax and Forgath have seen examples of human adventurers who are very messed up (with another big example looming ahead!) as well as 'monsters' that are rather virtuous and helpful.
I wonder what point would be enough to reconcile the groups? Just one of the goblins using a class ability? Big Ears, specifically, using a paladin ability? Will Kore himself be the catalyst? Will there be no reconciliation at this point at all? That last one I find somewhat doubtful, as the GAP isn't exactly in a strong position at the moment with just Kore, and if they're caught in a pincer attack between Kore and Minmax on that bridge it'll take one hell of a deus ex machina to get them out of it, I would think.
If I had to guess, my money would be on Forgath picking up on the status of the GAP as Minmax and Complains are fighting (probably within a round or two), tackling Minmax again (with maybe Big Ears tackling Complains in turn), then allowing the goblins to escape- making Forgath a target for Kore, given that he aided the monsters. I expect Minmax wouldn't necessarily be on Kore's radar immediately, unless he's guilty by associating with an individual who associates with 'monsters.' Even then, in this scenario, Kore may well see that Minmax was trying to fight the 'monsters.' I expect Kore to take a spill off of the bridge during this encounter and probably disappear for a while, but I expect he'll be back. Minmax and Forgath have dealt with an adventurer with a much higher level than there's before, but it still wasn't a case of beating him in a straight up fight- the dragon lung trump card wouldn't work here most likely, but 9.8 m/s^2 is a trump card in its own right.
