Emlurk

I've just had my first proper run-in with Avernum 4 the last couple of days. I beleive I've done most of the stuff there is do in the demo section, and ordered the full game. Now while I'm waiting I'm wondering how to best utilize my unspent skill points. These are my characters so far: http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/6794/fighterfd0.jpg (The fighter now has 20 sp, not 18, as he just drank a knowledge brew.) http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/1453/magewx1.jpg Obviously I regret getting tool use on my fighter but I'm not gonna start over just because of that. So where oh where do I invest? The obvious choices seem to be +1 Meele for fighter which would enable Quick Strike. And +1 Mage Spells for the mage to access Magery. Then what?

Ok, thanks for deconfusing me.

The timelines on the first page of this topic seem a little bit weird to me when they say that the Hawthorne that sent Erika et al into Exile is not the same Hawthorne that she had assassinated. Is this actually based on some text from the A/E-trilogies or just something one of you made up?
