This version includes a creature spawner that attempts to balance encounters
against the player character by very approximately simulating how the
conflict could play out. Please let me know if how you get on with this
in case in needs further tuning. It should be survivable most of the time.
There’s a notice board in Twizelford’s town square with a new quest on it
that uses the new system. The town hall is also open to a limited extent
and there’s a clerk for you to interact with should you take this repeatable
quest.
If you encounter errors when playing please do report them to me!

As usual, download from the usual place, and start a new game. Previous saves will not have the new content, and will likely fail to load.
