Yep, I had to take 8 on Aneiria because she was almost 9 when we hit Bloody Crypt. Pump is 3 ranks into 8, so next session will likely push him into holding 9 as well. Susan is also a rank into 8, but when we need a trap-monkey, I've got to run either Aneira or Pump.

I do want to hit Xorian Cipher though. We haven't hit that since the first life.
