Release: Preview 1.5 - Flame Cultists and Orb Choices

Biggest changes this update are adding Flame Cultists as an actual faction, the fact that the scrying orb now gives you three locations to pick from rather than just generating a random location, and that creatures can follow you up and down stairs.

Work on air spells is coming along nicely but not in this release.

Factions

• The flame cultists are now a faction. They start uncontacted and neutral towards you.
• The cats and the Grievers now let you trade in your favor with them for money (but not the other way around).
• You can now hire Grievers (as opposed to just caretakers). The favor cost of hiring caretakers is decreased.
• The Grievers now teach anti-undead spells, and can enchant weapons to do extra damage vs. undead.

NPC Behavior

• Caretakers, Grievers and Flame Cultists now have dialog. Talking to them makes contact with their faction if you haven't yet.
• Followers and nearby hostile enemies will follow you up and down stairs.
• If you have a follower who's a member of a faction, and you lose enough reputation with their faction that it becomes hostile, your follower stops following you and becomes hostile.

Content

• Wands and scrolls can now be created with non-arcana related spells in all tower types.
• Added 2 new non-arcana related scroll-only spells.
• Creatures' damage now increases every three "levels" rather than every one
• Added 1 new creature

Other

• Searching for new locations at the scrying orb now gives you a choice of three locations to choose from, rather than a single random one.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an error in reaper's strike spell when an ally makes a kill
• Fixed incorrect item ID in potion of fire resistance recipe that would cause it to create a blank recipe item
