Nice to know I'm not the only one that fell for Sazza.
I loved the fact that it showed mor enuances of the Thieflings and Goblins, like Larian was putting the pillars for a set that is not black or white but full of gray and shaded areas.
Also I found her funny, and was very sad when i found her dead.
In my following replay I'll do what i can to save her.
And I support your suggestion to have her in the camp (hell there is a Lich in the camp! and you can pet the owlbear cub!).
