She recommends Cap, a rugged old mercenary, to head up the crew. Maybe she\u2019ll even learn a thing or two about how to lead in between the delightful distraction of Karina\u2019s flirtations and keeping the marauders at bay.<\/p>\n<p>As they head off on their long trip across Rescalin, though, the wheels start to come off Des\u2019s plan.
