Yes. I didn't care much for punishments/rewards, since Thornarcrull, following his role (yes, he had and followed it!) didn't care, is it a good event or bad, since everything that he experienced (Arvam's religion) were EXPERIENCE. He didnt care for book's knowledge, but he wished to experience as much as possible - and he successed. Onl once I (a player, not a character) got frustrated and stepped out of the role, when five marans/warlocks came to the pit, looting my things after I entered the wrong room in some dangerous area.

About being logged and not fighting... when you are a healer, and you know that they are together, do you really need to fight? I prefered to wait for other evils to come.

I know that I missed a lot of hints and used also a lot. I wasted quite a bit of my health in ST, but the way which I'm forced to use to get in... a bit boring. Just my opinion.

Naw naw naw. It's not a problem. Most of the time I think "damn, Nep is right here!", but Thorn would not agree anyways. I'm posting as Thorn - it's too late to change anything anyways. I'll leave forum/game at the next two weeks, and if I'll ever return, I'll return under another nickname and with another personality.

Hope you enjoyed this personality despite all the flames and such.
Arrogant, stubborn, selfish Thorn.
