And that's a wrap. At 2:11 AM EST, I have finished Act 3 and overall, the first book...or well, I'm almost finished with this playthrough. There's a bonus quest I have to do first!
Anyways, here is Yoimiya, the fireworks "archer" and the champion of light! The heroine who saved Valeron from the Legions of Shadow!

-----HERO INFORMATION ABOVE!-----
I've greatly enjoyed the finale of Act 3, the intensity of the situation, and the enemies fought. I'm proud to have gone through Battle of The Bone Fields quest deathless, and the Legion of Shadow boss encounter MOSTLY deathless (I died against Sharroth twice but that was due to unlucky rolls, and I opted to restart the Sharroth fight instead of going to a checkpoint).
I had to ditch the Death Strike bow and part of my Nightwalker Set for better gear, but it was worth it in the end. I did not come across any good gloves to replace my Nightwalker Gloves since I replaced my Nightwalker Tunic very late into Act 3.
As for the orange quest that I failed prior, Waking of the Dead. I restarted the quest and went through it mostly deathless until the final boss, Sammain. I went against the rules and treated Sammain as any other regular encounter that I can redo if I fail, instead of following the book's instructinons. Regardless, Sammain is still no pushover; she's a fun boss to fight against, if a bit frustrating.
And about the ultimate reward of Waking the Dead, Arthurian's Horn? Well, it's still sitting in my heroine's inventory, since I never found a use for it. I overcame my battles through good rolls, clever use of skills, and sheer willpower. Maybe I can homebrew the second book a bit to include the horn as a one-use heirloom item that can't be used until Act 2 or somethin' as a lil' gift to whoever my DestinyQuest 2 character is going to be from their good pal, Yoimiya. ;)
I will post one more status update once I complete the bonus quest and then it's off to DestinyQuest 2!
(P.S. I never really found a use for the Bright Shield ability in the final fight.)
