just a couple of comments about some of your good-byes...

missing four trips on Karel:

I think there was a reason. I missed all my lashes on him too. My guess is haste and swiftness for starters, maybe some size thing too. I missed my one chance to kill him without needing to lash by making a typo.

the scions' air-force:

having interacted with most of the scion shifters, I've found most of the recent/current ones don't multi-kill or full-loot gratuitously. They do get it into their heads to do it to particular people, but there is usually a reason for it. I've faced them with a couple of characters (one of whom was very vulnerable to them) and they always treated me fairly. Maybe being full-looted makes them angry? Stranger things have happened.

the dark-elf assassin:

you're probably thinking of Jerreraric. I'm pretty sure he ranked with villagers while scion were at war with them. Around Kidiana. Also used potions of recall in front of them and still the villagers let him rejoin them. You might not have known he was scion because he didn't fight in raids much (ever?) that I saw. Also seems nightwalker was not so suited to his style of making a kill from what I saw; rumor has it he didn't go toe to toe as often as he assassinated.

the bard apostle Dauryn:

just want to add that this character was not one of mine. My characters all have very different names. I'd agree with Valg here and advise you not to pick one ending with "a" unless you want everyone to think you are a woman.

You seemed to do a good job as a villager though from the bits I've seen.
