Thanks for the review. I'm a Lovecraft fan myself, obviously, and I wanted to do something full of unholy runes and horrible old gods...

Already I can see some annoyance potential from this. That's a lot of to-hit debuffing to throw around and there seems to be only 1 type of minion in this "Defiled" group.
[/ QUOTE ]
I went back through and adjusted them a bit--I added a new minion type and swapped a few powers around, then played through the first mission with them in it. They should be a bit less debuff-y now. I mainly had all the dark powers for thematic reasons, but I can definitely see where it could be a little overwhelming.

Another worker read the tablet that they found inside, aloud apparently, and then all hell broke lose.
[/ QUOTE ]
I actually meant that he just looked at the inscription, and then it just kind of
went off like a sort of mystical Claymore mine. I could go back and explain it more clearly, but Howard's explanation is already at the maximum 300 characters, and it's not crucial.

During my search of the offices I found a shipping manifest and learned that there are more of those tablets (obelisks?) being stored at another warehouse.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks for pointing this out. I called them "tablets" in the first mission, then glanced over at the object I was using, which is listed as "obelisk" in the editor, and my brain apparently decided they were obelisks. The text should all be consistent now.

(Slight nitpick, these are high-tech crates, which look a bit out of place in this warehouse.)
[/ QUOTE ]
I did that mainly because I was having a problem with the wooden crates for some reason. I've changed them to metal crates to be a little more thematically appropriate for the warehouse.
[ QUOTE ]
Five of the obelisks arrived safely, but somehow the 6th got teleported to the Atlas Park hospital and "went off".
[/ QUOTE ]
I actually meant that one had already gotten shipped out and delivered just before the warehouse raid. I've reworded that part of the mission briefing so it's a little clearer (I hope).

Couldn't resist.

In a way a clear all for this sort of even is justified, it's just that it does get a bit tough finding them all in this map as there are so many bits of scenery to hide behind. Maybe change it so it's only clear the last room instead.
[/ QUOTE ]
I've changed it so it's just the last room now, although I do like the clear all for "getting rid of the infestation of evil" purposes. It can be a little annoying on that map, though.
