Sword Coast Legends 18: Act 3 Side Quests

Act 3 opens with a search of the Underdark and lots of side quests. First, we've got a person with a mind controlling mask of goodness, which we can't resolve quite yet. It's really weird that we have a mind control mask of good. Good usually can't mind control to being good. That's not how it works, so it is a neat thing to see. There's a lot of twisting rune pillars in this update.

I'll also say the combination puzzle is a neat, organic quest that rewards exploration and puzzle solving. The game actually rewards exploration, and I like that. I think I'm moving from neutral to positive on SCL. None of the bosses are interesting fights, so I don't call them out specifically. Just go to near the end of the associated chapter for the Kiln, Illydia's quest or Javen's quest.

We got a second rogue, so Larethar is now a death archer. The new rogue doesn't have an Archery tree, so he gets to dual wield flaming swords.
