Mikey,
Agreed! Great fight and I for one was not expecting another big fight right after the first one and then the guard. That was definitely set up to try us.
Sorry about the reneging. I've been very busy with working both jobs and finding a new house (did you get my email?), so my posting has been slow and untimely. That, combined with Leif's ambitiousness to be a timely poster, caused this situation. I'll make sure I have my characters verbalize things like this in the future. I would not have done this if Tsadok would not have gone first. Thanks for letting it stand!
