Well, I cleaned up my castle wall a bit yesterday

Well, I cleaned up my castle wall a bit yesterday. It now looks much better for the assault that's going to happen later on. I actually got a lot of work done yesterday, though mostly dialog and the scripting that goes with it. I think the basics of the Grove area are in place. Any significant quest or dialog takes about a day to write, with all the various branches, vow options, rewards, and so on. Still, it's what makes the adventure fun, so I plan on having much more.

I'm also testing and finding bugs. The funniest so far was when we were attacked and Anera began casting area of effect damage spells, catching many of the elven troops. Well, I have a check that let's PCs get away with it (making them friendly again afterwards). Sadly, Anera doesn't have the same protection. They were upon her in seconds. I took out her area of effect spells and replaced them with metamagiced versions of direct damage spells. Should work out better.

On another note, I finally released the mountain tileset. You can get the direct link here, though hopefully it'll show up on the Vault with a nice discussion board in a day or two. I'll post it in the downloads section then.
