I managed to get a fair amount done yesterday. For starters, I whipped up a neat little ring that can be used between two players or one player and their companion. Basically, it fully heals the other person, while draining an equal amount of life from the first. I figure that it should work out nicely for those warrior/mage teams when the weak one gets in trouble.

I also had a neat moment during testing last night when a couple new systems interacted in an unexpected and interesting way. I was making sure the spell storing gems worked by placing them in the spell circle and casting spells at them. I remembered that I could have my henchmen cast any spell they knew at a named target, so I tried typing "cast cure light wounds on magic symbol". Sure enough, Anera cast it on the symbol and stored the spell. Nifty.

Finally, I managed to put together some of the city center. Even though it's a temporary area (I'm still waiting for the Sigil exterior tileset), it helps immensely. I was talking to commoners and getting their mini-quests, checking out the Card Emporium or visiting the Gate Divers for some quick planar trips. It's nice seeing things start coming together.
