  Didn't use the vault as much this time other than for the useful Haggler's ring (barter) when buying stuff - great for the scarabs from Griglo!

  Really enjoyed play-through as a mage, although found I was reluctant to spend magic until I got a way of restoring it e.g. ghost.

  Thanks for sharing, Rougie.

  I think you may have made a mistake somewhere with your 'ancient technology' gains. There are only 5 to be found in the book (and 5 rep needed for tick tock), and the fifth is only obtainable by a rogue, hence the tick-tock career is a rogue only career.

  Only thing I can think of, is that you had a minor or major artifact and recorded it incorrectly? Might be worth checking your sheet.

  I can go through the ancient technology locations if necessary, but that would need to go into the spoiler thread. The one available via the Cabal can only be purchased once remember.

  Otherwise, awesome work!

  Michael,

  Thanks, I have edited. I only changed to a tick-tock before the final battle and it wouldn't have made any difference to that result (in my view the dungeon delves are a bit harder than the final battle).

  Yes, I must have made a mistake in recording and that also explains why the tick-tock career didn't specify a particular path, which I thought was rather unique!
