Greedy grubby Grubbak. I will not fund his play democracy unless I absolutely must for good war outcomes, now that the 7th Tradesmasher bonus doesn't even count. Hopefully it continues to provide fungible bonuses and not unique ones.

Wendis being the hateful entity coming up the Tower from below was a twist to me; I had suspicions but not certainties. I felt we were primed not to expect it by establishing that Wynn's resurrection efforts were misguided. I am sympathetic to feelings that undoing death cheapens the whole setting, though; when I played Mother 3 I felt that when a certain character continued to speak to people in dreams and take an active role in the plot it really cheapened the impact. On the other hand, what happened to Wendis is pretty clearly a special case; most people don't die by getting entangled with a dying Incubus, and Wendis has no idea what happens normally, describing death as a "cliff over which no one can see."

The idea that the whole convenience of what happens to Simon is orchestrated is interesting. Maybe the real Lustlord is trying to resurrect himself? Bit out there, I know.
