Hi Hayden, Oh, in that case I don't suppose you want to know about the fact there is a new trap on level 1. One that wasn't in previous MOTA betas. It is mmm... well... tricky to get past if you aren't quick. That is assuming you survive the battle with the Lamia.
Oh, and if you would like to know Angela just got killed by the Lamia. I wasn't quite quick enough of getting out of the way before she shot a poisoned arrow through Angela's heart. Angela's quite dead, and has to wait for me to restart the game to come back to life. How's that for challenging, eh? Grin.
