This is how I want it.
2-pass render with a scattering media, but without area light in the
second pass. Still +3hours render time with 6 threads. With an area
light I judge from testing that render time would be multiplied by 10.

That's good and I like the green top. The shape gives an impression of
movement.
One thing though. I looked at the image in PSP then changed the gamma
(As I do). When I dropped the gamma to 0.2 most of the image darkened to
invisibility. Except for Yi or is it Er? The one holding the big
toothpick. Is this something to do with the image map gamma? And Er's or
is it Yi's sword.

Please do. I can't seem to find any reasonable settings in either Poser
or PoseRay except for cornrows.

Yes. And just by adding wind to it :-)

Ling Yi is red; Ling Er is green. I should write their names as Lingyi
and Linger as those are their first names. I have not yet decided about
their family name ;-)
About gamma: I am not sure. If I reproduce your test, I see those parts
of the scene that are in direct sunlight (Linger's skin and the corner
stones wall mainly) that remain lighter longer.

...and yes, Lingyi's scabbard. Which is just a pigment with some higher
specular values.

That's fine as that is what I see too.
Just thought I'd mention it.

Sweet. I do like how you've managed to capture the balance of the
characters. Most such scenes come out looking very stilted.

... which, by the way, is perfectly normal.

Looking better and better.
BTW, are you using Poser or Daz 3D models? And what shoes are the ladies
wearing? I've been searching for such shoes for quite a while without
success - virtually all 3D models out there are either high heels or
sneakers.

Coming along nicely.
As for the area light, adaptive is a must. Start with adaptive 0, and
increase to adaptive 1 or 2 only if you have disturbing artefacts.
Looking at the actual scene, it's probable that adaptive 0 will be
correct, with, maybe, some pixel sized glitches near the torch holder on
the wall.
Most of the time, with adaptive 0, the time hit is barely larger than 4,
even with high density arays like 17 * 17, 33 * 33 or 65 * 65.
