You're most welcome, Veronique! We always enjoy someone new coming around... it helps us all feel like we know something again!
With respect to the Naga, you don't want to kill her the first time you see her. Just use Kerielle's Elixir to put her to sleep. Later on, when you've completed the temple and retrieved the mask, you can go back and kill her. If you don't, you miss a chance for a very welcome trait.
And when you move to a new role, you start at level one in that role. You keep all your previous skills and abilities, and in fact can add to them (such as learning new spells).
You just keep getting better and better...
Have fun, and keep us posted on your travels [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
