lets all let this rest now before we get into arguments.
i have gotten some of the explanations i needed and no longer feel completely lost in regards to whats happening to aran.
The DM's/dark powers have a plan and aran is going to stick to his wows nevertheless
perhaps not all is explained, but it seems there is some consistensy in whats happening.
i was frustrated because i felt the change went so rapidly i had no time finishing up stuff before it all went over my head.
i still need a bit of DM time to finish a lot of loose ends that have been hanging for a few months
and hope someone can take up the mantle.
let terror prevail, and the doomed heroes rise.
