An Iron Golem ally would be one heck of an asset against Improved TorGal, to say nothing of the Umber Hulks.

While I'm on this tangent, how did TorGal & Co. manage to get down to the dungeons without opening any of the secret doors or obtaining the Keep Key?
The "layout" of the de'Arnise hold has bothered me a bit, too (well, OK, a very little bit). Say TorGal & cronies did burrow in, why haven't they stumbled upon Umberlee... I mean Nalia's aunt yet?

How did Daleson even get to the Umber Hulks to find out they like dog? If they moved down there post-feeding (ignoring the whole "why is the aunt still alive?" question), how & why are the secret doors rehidden?

Why didn't Daleson just leave through the secret door to the outside? he obviously knows that's how Nalia sneaks out...

Why the heck is the family Chapel behind a secret door anyway?

Who designs a castle with only one staircase to level 2?!? and then one hidden staircase from level 2 to the basement? and the means to open the drawbridge is... on top of the drawbridge?!? I'd fire the captain of the guards for that alone, much less not being able to hold a castle against a few dozen Trolls with an armory full of Arrows of Fire & Acid & the FoA presumably right at hand!

*ahem*... ok... back to suspension of disbelief... time to go find a dragon who keeps easily accessible Dragon Slaying items lying around... oh, wait... [img]smile.gif[/img]
