Nathaniel is sort of a jerk

    So we save Nataniel's life, rescue him from an ice prison, recover his stolen belongings and just generally help him go from utterly screwed to super swell. Then for no compelling reason he convinces Oswald to take off in his airship without us, leaving us to make our way on foot through some of the most dangerous terrain in the Spine of the World! A haunted forest. Hostile Barbarians. Dragons. Evil Dwarves. The Underdark, and plenty more is what we face-- and we supposedly are taking the "easier" path!!

    Then, by the time we finally manage to slog our sorry butts to Kuldahar, we learn that Nathaniel and Oswald have had time to travel to the 10 towns, then to Kuldahar, they have evacuated the entire town, and have since been holed up wondering where in the hell we were!?! Oh, gee, what a great frackin question!!

    Um, how about next time you wait around for an extra 5 minutes and let us ride in the airship too!! Bastard!

    Not to mention, he still expects a favour from the party, for a few beads and mirrors he had in his closet. So, when you're on your way to save the world, you get whisked back to the Ice Temple for some demon slaying. "Oops I got careless, please save my life again. ... OK thanks, you can go now. Consider your debt repaid."

    Is it Nathaniel who takes you back to the temple? I thought it was another dude.

    Hmmm, got the urge to replay that game now!

    It's actually Nicodemus who wants the favor repaid, the guy who created the Ice Temple and Oria's former lover. I guess BIS had the letter N on the brain when they created the Ice Temple section of the game.

    Tis okay. Nicodemus was no saint either, what with creating a massive Ice Temple for a trio of crazed, evil ice-priestesses with serious chips on their shoulders--from which to carry out their nefarious plans of destruction and revenge. Definitely a guy you want to invite over for Christmas dinner.

    Which will include a lovely dais upon which we will supply daily human sacrifices and let them bleed out. That will feed into a luxurious room below where a demon of ultimate evil will be taking up residence whilst also serving as a power generator for our complex! Oh, and as an added bonus the dais of sacrifice will double as a convoluted code entry device for some the castle's more secure locations! So yes, we'll have it all. Elegance, security, AND ultimate evil all rolled into one building! Smashing!
