I do too. I thought that had great potential for role-playing as well, if it would get Brian to bring up more of Charissa's actual personality (he often focuses on the mechanics of his characters and I would have liked to see more of Charissa's reasons behind wanting to stop Evelyn). But just stopping the game and walking away basically ruined the session for the other five people who were playing.

The fight with the dark creeper was mostly meant to be a diversion, a reminder that danger can come from many different places, not all from the same grand plot. I had a lot more fun and different things planned for after that. They're supposed to talk today, so I should have an update for later tonight.

I really like playing with my dad. :) He taught me how to game in the first place (second edition D&D) and since his own gaming group has long since scattered, now I run the games. He's got so many great ideas, and it's a lot of fun.
