Ush, I truely did enjoy Triple R. All's well that ends well.

In the dreadfully land of dark
*repeat several thousand times to the tune of the cleaning/rejuvinating song from Wizard of Oz*
The reflected emotional responses given by Dark Side players towards their hallucinations reflected what bonus emotion they got during the final fight... whether they wanted it or not. Most players got what I expected- Rand, worried about leadership issues and being outshone by Doon, got Rivalry, Takuan, contemptuous of the abilities of the others and only confident in himself got Hubris, ever-worried Tanic got Fear, insane Galder got Anger, and well role-played 'stuff hater' Gallador got Hatred, also based on contempt. Only Rianna differed; her continual worries about Osokan pursuit led to her getting Helkin on a fear vibe, but she chose to go for Anger instead. Rand's emotional response conflicted with his actual buying of emotion, which was meant to demonstate a kind of issue where an Emotion isn't something you choose just for the numbers- it is really nice if it reflects your personality. Gallador got the bonus, reflecting the one he chose, and so he was getting +4 emotion bonuses during that fight for two force points a-piece, which was a ludicrously strong combo with Strength from Pain, hence him doing really well there.
You guys get to keep the Yaran root but it is likely it will be as harmful to keep using as helpful.
Meanwhile, one missed plot point was abandoned because it was thought of too late to go in. This involved the sixth Lantarnan sibling, and would have involved Doon not telling you all about them in advance.
The trick would have been that you guys would have been interacting with the extra one all the time- only to find out near the end that Vigo had had that one killed (by bricking him up inside a wall of the Citadel) six months ago, and that all the time you had been interacting with his ghost (made possible by your force insights).
It wasn't important for the game at all... it just would have been amusing.

This is why Galder will never be a true leader or Master. Though I like the spirit! But killing can get boring after a time, is Galder never tired of it?
