The words of he who claims the name Magnus shall go undeserving of a reply.
Arlian,
Indeed it was, as you say, an underhanded trick. The Lady was not "un-saveable", obviously. It was simply a little game, a game to see how long it would take you to free her with all your resources. Well done. Perhaps you won't be fool enough to allow the same little "underhanded trick" to happen twice. If it does...
Best regards,
Defcarr
