Thanks again for all of the helpful advice. Clearly, it worked, because although I haven't ventured into the swamp yet, I feel like I have my best party ever. Here's my team:

Mook Fighter -- Woodsman's Axe (soon to be Beastslayer Axe), 3xCrossbow
Dracon Samurai -- Bloodlust, Wakazashi
Human Lord (female) -- Stun Mace and Hammer, Demonsting
Human Bard -- Enchanted Broadsword, 3xCrossbow. Also has Siren's Wail and Piercing Pipes
Felpurr Gadgeteer (female) -- Diamond Epee, Omnigun. Also has lava lamp, lightning rod
Human Bishop -- Enchanted Mace and Aqua Shield. Just got Element Shield. Alchemy at 48.
Vi -- Burning Spear and Siege Arbalest

Just made it back to Arnika. Dropped off a lot of Antone's items.

A few questions for the assembled masses.

1) Having already made one trip to the Umpani and gotten the demon weapons, I feel like there's little benefit to going back there yet. The swamp and either the tunnels or the bluff seem like the right next step. Any other options? I haven't done the cemetary dungeon.

2) The omnigun hasn't really done much yet -- I assume that's because except for some throwing stilletos that took out the oak saplings, I haven't had good ammo. Is there any point to using the gun, and not the gadgeteer devices, for the time being? I'll go straight to Crock and get some more gadget building blocks if I do go to the swamp next.

3) Having gotten Element Shield, what should my next priority be for the bishop?

4) Should I give my samurai something other than Bloodlust? If so, who, if anyone, do I give bloodlust to?

5) The Lord has been a very effective spellcaster thus far -- but melee has been so-so. I passed on the enchanted mace and anointed flail in favor of a stun mace because of the ko factor. Is that a mistake?

Finally, 6) I'm having a lot of fun. Thanks to all of you for helping me get out of the rut. Does it keep going funwise from here, or does it slow down at all?
