First, It seems Sylvan and and village are quickly fading
as friends. There are a few who still help out, but most
have taken the side of defending their mage cabalmates and
fighting with the village when possible as well.

As you already said, I chose to attack you because you were
a master and had attacked the giant. I quickly realized you
were going to lose to the eagle and just followed the fight
and attacked Culwch and Dharlome when you died.

While you were in some deep trouble no matter what, it seems to
me all those invoker shields on the eagle are what really screwed
you over. It's hard to notice during a fight, but had you realized
which shields had been dispelled I'm guessing a couple of pillars
or buffets instead of the ice needles might have done enough damage
to scare him off until the healer showed up to help. Even in the log
the message for a successful vs. unsuccessful dispel is hard to tell
apart, let alone in the middle of a fight. Maybe make a trigger to
color "the magic of ... unravels" if you don't have one.

Finally, I know why you came right after logging on (transform) but
it made it pretty predictable to anyone who wanted to find you. I
was far away and started walking to the village as soon as I saw you
login and I would guess Culwch did the same. You probably would have
liked it if the other master hero (at least one at that time) had come
along, but that's another story.
