For the fun of it, what about the other 7 still unidentified sons of the GC? I mean, were they new people like the Beast of Kartakass, or "old" people already in canon 2e, like the Familiar and Chezna?

They were never identified in the planning, unless there's something I haven't seen.

Did S have game-stats, BTW? I'd presume you guys at least knew what level she was, so writers wouldn't overstep her limits when writing about the spells she had available.

How exactly does that bracer work, anyway?

From a previous post:
Mangrum: It operates as a variation on a lich's phylactery, with a touch of magic jar, which is how Azalin was able to create it. Upon the wearer's death, it transfers the wearer's soul into a waiting receptacle back in Avernus. That soul is then placed in an inactive clone body. Without that soul, an awakened clone would just be an evil duplicate, as detailed in the core RL rules.

Is there any information about the two new domains that would have been featured with Bluetspur and Staunton Bluffs in Gaz XIII?

OK... How does she get to the new location, then? When she died in Verbrek, she woke in Valachan.

Her soul is sucked back to Avernus and it is placed in a fresh clone. Her clone is then shipped by Kargat agents to where ever it needs to be. Remember that in Valachan there was hot tea waiting for her to wake up and the door had just closed...
Also in Gaz 6 or 7 she was supposed to try and commit suicide, then find her own bloated corpse.

None whatsoever. "New domain" on the list means literally that: "Make up a new domain when we reach that point."

A very interesting question.

In terms of game mechanics, she was never defined past "expert/wizard."

Although if memory serves, she packed not only pistols but a sword.

I seem to recall seeing once that she was Aristocrat/Wizard. At the time I thought it was odd that her Wizard levels were so low ...
Would it be fun to have a little competition to see who can make the best statistics for S?

I'm suspecting some kind of contigent teleport spell myself unless the Kargat are a LOT more powerful than we ever imagined.

How powerful do you have to be to drive a cart with a tarpaulin over the contents and a likely story along the lines of 'I'm taking my sister's body home for burial', or 'if these peaches/mushrooms/whatevers are exposed to too much sun and air they'll spoil'?
