Hello!

I just finished Varnhold's Lot. I really enjoyed the expansion. That last bit was brutal though. I went the into dungeon with a lot of camping supplies. When I got to the end I had to choose between fighting the last group of fey (south west of the entrance to the boss fight) and going to the boss. I only had 4 supplies left and had to rest to replenish health and spells. What's really weird is Marquise and her crew weren't nearly as hard as the fey. The fey outnumbered me and took out Gekkor and Tehira pretty easily.

Losing Maegar made things a little harder, losing Cephil made things a lot harder. . No offensive spells, and more importantly, no summons. Cephil and Tehira were my greatest assets. I got a ton of mileage out of his summons and her flanking boosts. Tehira is a freebooter, but to me she felt more like a rogue. This is the first time I used a freebooter, so I'm probably wrong about the comparison. Gekkor felt like a ranger. I'm probably wrong about that too. I just got that impression. I often forgot that he was a priest, and was slightly disappointed when he couldn't use ranger scrolls. I'm still curious if Cephil actually had to leave the party, of if it turned out to be a pile of BS.

What did you guys think?

I played as a custom group instead of the cripples that are offered and barely noticed when party got smaller.
Overall I'd say the 1st location is the hardest in the DLC

PS. I think it was a serviceable story, although I expected a lot more drama and twists.
