OK Orcs, I can understand why you didn't kill Zali, although it was a risky strategy. But why didn't you kill off the virtually known innocents, like Sleepy and Nogrod, in her place?

The problem was, we didn't know who Zali would be protecting. Looking back, of course, I could kick myself for not doing just that, but at the time, it seemed like going for Diamond would be unpredictable. Also, we kept hoping we'd get the Shaman, and neither of us really thought Nogrod or Sleepy was the Shaman.

I think this scheming on both sides was just the thing that made this game so interesting. So as we tried to confuse the orcs by playing with Celuien's shamanship, they frustrated us by leaving Zali alive night after night. It really made the playing quite complicated to all involved - and so much fun!
