One thing I just wanted to highlight is the loot placement - so far it's great. My party found a weapon with an interesting description last night. Turned out it was "just" a normal longsword, but the description of the weapon made it feel like it had so much more purpose and value. My only magic item so far is a lucky rabbits paw, which Breccia is wearing with pride. Aside from that, everyone is decked out in leather armour and short swords/a mace. Finding new items will be really rewarding.
Ah, you found the longsword, the first weapon upgrade to the original issue short swords. Wield it well!
I am kind of stingy with the loot. As you explore further, hopefully you will find a steady progression of arms and armor. More powerful items await down the road.
