Since most companions aren't really the best of friends, why would they run around gossiping to eachother about something i said or did,
From an immersion point of view: some adventurers go out exploring while the rest stay at the camp, doing nothing. After some time, the explorers return to camp, covered in blood and mud, carrying large amounts of cheese. Wouldn´t the people who stayed at camp want to hear what happened?
This is already a statement that breaks the immersion in itself... Why would someone who has clear objectives to achieve quickly stay in the camp and do nothing while waiting to hear from others what they have seen?
