Thanks for sharing your experience in detail. I find it really interesting how different our experiences were. For instance, I liked the ettin encounter precisely because of its verbosity. The length of the attempt at sophistry was absurd and funny to me. And the times when they sat around and talked about right and wrong really resonated with me, because I think about that stuff a lot. I really appreciate you showing your point of view, as it highlights how one work can be many things to different people.
