The banter between Xander and Faith CAN be seen as them having problems by outsiders. Or it could be that they just say that because they DO have problems but neither wants to actually come out and acknowledge it.
It's good to see that Xander and Angel are still such vast and close friends. Positively heartwarming.
The attack on the caravan, while I'm not really happy with it, I can understand it. Needs must and all that. So, now that they're outfitted, have a caravan they can use as a disguise and know roughly where the nearest rebels are, they need to get moving. 200 Miles, while not much by today's standards of transportation, is a very long and arduous road on horseback and even longer if they use the caravan as a cover. At least a week of travel to get to the area. Think they can last that long without wanting to kill each other? After all, Spike already fell afoul of Blade....

Yeah Angel and Xander still get on. But they are good friends, at least compared to Blade and Spike! :D
The caravan was owned by an imperial crony, so I don't much care about that. 200 miles? I would imagine it would take a week to ten days to get there, unless they pushed it.
Thanks for the review.

Not a lot of action, but definitely required exposition. The bartender's speech almost sounded like the beginning of a quest in D&D! But it was necessary, otherwise your heroes would be wandering around a long time just gathering that information. Well done.

Yeah, exposition can be a pain in the ass.
Thanks for the review.

Fun 'crew gathering'. Looking forward to seeing the variations on your character interactions in this story. Love your choices for the crew as well. Xander and Faith remain two of my favorites, but getting Duncan and Amanda in the mix, then bringing Jarod along for the ride? Can't wait to see the group dynamic that develops in the story you're crafting.
Comments from author:
Yeah, Highlander was a great show, I've never tried writing Jarod before, he was an odd duck, but I enjoyed Pretender too.
Thanks for the review.

Interesting beginning. Pulling your crossover characters to a world of your own invention should make for some interesting interactions, especially when they're trying to figure out WHERE they are and how to get home. Establishing that they're going to be fighting for their lives as soon as we seen them establishes some good points of conflict too, even if we don't know WHY they're being hunted. Looking forward to reading more.

Yes, they're not just in a different world, they're in a world of hurt too!
Thanks for the review.
