BTW: What don't you like about Land of the Dead type settings?
I had a question, do I actually need to explain what Andawall was doing in the Wildlands? Is it too "convenient" if I don't? The thing is, Andawall is supposed to be a mysterious character. The story isn't really about him. He's really there to help Dan and Nick out, you're kind of supposed to wonder about Andawall. Is that section a problem the way it is?
Oh, and you mentioned that Jason fooled the gods, have you ever considered that he... still... might have you fooled?
