Which is as far as she got. Feeling that she'd been living on borrowed time ever since she somewhat unexpectedly came back from killing Antenor, Charlotte volunteered for the probably-suicidal Defending The East Gate From The Fist Shock Troops mission during the attack of December 2nd 1289. Charlotte got the honourable death she'd wanted, invoking her Ultimate Faith in the lord Humact which gave her Flange (and, as far as I know, made me the first person to call SLAY in play). When she finally went down, the defenders had killed all but five of the Fist troops, so while the gate didn't quite hold, when it failed there were no elite soldiers left to come through it.
Charlotte was laid to rest immediately on her death, and is presumably now living it up in the halls of Humact.
And I'd like to thank Garuda, lmm and the players of the NPCs for the Best. Battle. Ever.
