Hi folks,

After getting feedback we've made life a bit easier for you to Survive, and recover if you, er, don't.

- A nice little lady by the name of Lisalui near the Avatar of Mortality will kindly advance you straight to level 10 with appropriate skills, spells, and 150 plat. If after level 10 you give her 4 plat she will buff you with Temperance.

- Merchants Basur, Sirekoth, and Merabo in PoK have given up their brewing supplies business for the much more lucrative Defiant armor and weapons trade, along with some other helpful items. Don't ask them where they got the stuff. Affordable pricing, they tell me.

- Trudi Deepfacet (also in PoK) is now selling some Defiant Augments and other jewelry.

- Mortality is still optional. Speak to the Avatar of Mortality (right in front of you after you tell Arias to 'leave' Gloomingdeep) before you get to level 11 to become Mortal and intensify the challenge.

Dhrystone.
