  Your reward is helping people you don't know and probably don't like you anyway. It's all I've been getting or the last 18 months anyway...

  "'probably don't like you anyway."

  I'll treasure that quote Ponty....

  What do you mean by it's all you've been getting for the last 18 months?

  Looks great, Ponty. Really want to stress that this is all about creativity — the people who are most creative are going to be the ones most likely to find new ways of playing the game, even this long after it's been out! Sure, you could just max stealth and avoid detection, but why not try something more original? My own idea (which I've yet to actually try) is to make it through purely by using arrows to draw enemies out of my path (i.e., shooting an arrow in a far corner of each hall/room).

  A couple of clarifications: First, it's ideal if you leave everyone alive. Obviously you can avoid detection by 1-shotting everyone, but where's the fun in that? Second, being in the "caution"/"searching" mode is allowable. That is, if the sneak eye is half open, you're fine. Just can't let it get all the way open. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

  Yep, the Muffle spell has a magnitude of 100 (completely muffles all noise) but the Muffle enchantment only has a magnitude of 50 (muffles 50% of noise).

  So two items of muffle would equal the spell? But you can only have muffle on boots can't you?
