Thanks for the update! I enjoyed exploring the new content. Scouts new scene was great and it's nice to be able to finish her skill tree. The new mini boss was fun, but I think I killed him too fast and didn't see his second phase. I'll probably do another play-through of that part when all of fall gets finished. The new spells are cool and I like how they fit some niches for combat.

I only ran across two small things this update. When giving the player the recipe for blood vials, Scout's dialogue has a typo where she says fueld instead of fueled.

In combat, it is possible to get Scout to negative blood levels. You can cast hypnosis without any blood, but it then drains her blood level by 5 when the ability is cast.

Anyways, thanks again for the update! I'm looking forward to the next one. 

Thanks! I'll get those fixed.
