Lots of stuff done yesterday

Lots of stuff done yesterday. I worked up a new creature, modifying a salamander with an excellent tail animation with a green slaad to make a passable Yuan-ti. It should do well in my final area before the Lakeshore Keep.

I've also been working on a new "exploding masonry" visual effect for use in the keep defense. It doesn't quite look right, the brick and stone hang in the air after flying outward, so I'll have to spend some time working on it.

I came to the conclusion that I must have siege equipment for the players to use at the castle. Initially, I was going to have it mostly in the hands of the enemy, but then I came to my senses. It's simply too much fun to throw boulders, dump boiling oil, and impale those who would bring ruin to the world. The typical hack and slash gets old after awhile.

I also put in a tremendous amount of dialog and items yesterday. I have even more to do today, along with the necessary scripting to do the quests. Should keep me busy.
