Oh shoot, I never noticed the Spectiks have an eyeball atop their head. Um, anyway we should jump down.

 Astel leaps into the hole. A proper heroic moment.  It's a good call.  Especially with this many enemies!  The party begins split.   We fail to take the Sommelier down.  Except we do – Anmos got some poison damage in!  The kill makes him untouchable.  They move up and get some hits into the other monsters in the room.  The ladies are catching up. Lark smashes a Weldling with her staff.  Not that the lads look like they need help at the moment.  They smash their way through the Morgathai. The Butler falls.  We dodge their attacks.  Then Astel takes out the Batchby.  Anmos finishes off the Watchman.   Down go the Spectiks.  The last foe is a Wardrobe that is trapped behind a barricade to the north.   We chip away at it.  It's badly wounded, but manages to spawn a Weldling.  Which dodges our attacks.  I make a choice- Lark hits them with a blast, but Anmos is in the area – but he tanks it easily, and the foes are finished.   Victory and a level for Astel. I choose to upgrade the rabbit.  Loot is distributed.  Weldlings are harder to kill.  We begin scouting the last site, and go in to clear it.  They hike into the mountains.  And they find an egg? Do we touch the egg? Are we Jawa's at heart?

 Lynn goes after the egg.  This goes poorly.  At least you have an omelette.  The whole incident has a sobering effect on Lynn.    This puts the party into a rough spot, wounded and up close and personal to most of the enemies!  We get to work.  Apart from Ciara, most of the other attacks plink off the enemy.  The Wardrobe makes more foes.  And the Weldlings belches fire on us – luckily damage is minimal.  Greylee reaches the spirit.  She gets an upgrade to her sword.  Which does not get off to a good start.  Ciara gets in to control the situation by being scary as all hell.  Lynn deals with the Weldling.  Rath blasts the concentrated enemies, destroying three Spectiks in a single spell.  The Watchman his Ciara.  Rath deals with the Wardrobe.  Ciara is taking hit after hit.  I have to send help.  Not that she's defenceless of course!  Rath is there with the lightning to finish the fight.  Victory!  Graylee gets upgraded Ambush  Ciara gets broadstrikes.  Lynn gets the loot.  Anmos and his team are spreading the loot from the foundry out when a strange beacon lights up the sky. If its the end of the world, we all know they will have died trying to stop it before coming back to tell anyone.  Watchmen are stronger now.  As are most of the other factions.  Why am I not surprised that the light is coming from the forge.....  As they arrive, the strange light dies down – are we too late?  I think we all saw this coming.  Before we can get any more ideas, Morthagi attack.  This is the first wave. We start in the forge with the doors shut.  Yvilde regrets opening hers. She shadowsteps away.  Anmos is holding the north door.  That's a early and hard hit!  And a second, the east is in trouble.  The Butler steps forward and gets wrecked.  Wave two arrives.  Astel deals with a Spectik.  Yvilde deals with the other one.  Ciara is holding the southern door.  Oh god they keep on coming.  We start work on the next one to come from the east.  Anmos is doing well on his own.  As is Ciara.  Rath arrives in the east to help.  And just as well.....  Anmos's guardian skills are amazing.  This is the last wave.  Down goes a spectik.  A Batchby lands a massive hit on Astel.  It's just an arm.  He crawls away to heal.  Anmos is still doing good work.  Untouchable is amazing as well.  Ciara is doing good work.  Rath rains boiling water on his foes. Ciara is happy to carry on with axework.  Down goes the butler.  Yvilde switches to her knife and gets a kill.  And Rath cleans up the last one. We claim the victory.  Though it is something of a pyrrhic one. Astel can no longer use his two handed sword, and will need a new weapon.  In the aftermath of the battle, Anmos's thoughts drift.  After nearly fourty years of fighting, he's a tired old man.  The Morthagi get Coachmen.  Ten years of peace follow.  We get lucky and the Coachman card is removed.   They heroes pass the years, each in their own way.  Anmos however, has decided to retire.  He passes his knowledge on, as a warrior, he of course teaches Astel.  It's a lot of knowledge – two levels worth!   He takes Bloodrage and Broadswipes.  The transformations continue, and Rath is now 100% Lightning.  Now it's time to do some upgrades – where do I focus our supplies?

Buff up the young'uns with more shiny new equipment. Still a bit more fight to go yet. That's a well earned retirement there.

drat, that was mythically brutal. Poor Astel. On the upside, a new forest grew, and it’s nice to see one of your founders last long enough to retire. I like to think his final teachings there to Astel were to help him fight one handed. As for upgrades, Concentrate on the younger members. Without the level advantage, they need every edge they can get, and most of your olds are superpowered anyway.

Yeah as you can see, once your mainstays start retiring you get some hits to your capability. Gotta shore up the next generation.

I think we will loose Rath, Ciara and Yvilde after this generation, they all got a special story that gave them +10 years to retirement, but they will all be getting on now - I'll need to check their ages, but they will be in their sixtys now! (18+the 50 odd years of real time that have passed)

The younger heroes need stronger weapons to keep up - good armor only does so much if there are too many attacks coming in. Based off of my playthroughs, I think Rath might stick around for another generation? Mystics have higher retirement ages, especially if they get a personal quest done. Still, the age penalties to speed and healing are gonna stack up soon if they already haven't.

The one big drawback to going full out with the transformations is that fully transformed characters can't use weapons at all - you'll notice Rath no longer has his wand! For some transformations this is mostly fine, but for others (especially if you were toting around a Really Nice Weapon) it can be a bit frustrating. The game will automatically convert two-handed weapons to one-handed weapons for characters that transform one hand, though - which is nice.
