Funny you mention that.
First of all, yes the tent guy is intentional. I found it cool that the game had this mechanic of risking bad things happening to fully heal your party, but was disappointed when it chickened out by having free places to nap, like the first area's tent. So the idea there is that "would you rather risk having something bad happen to you on a campfire, or have something less bad but still technically bad happen to you consistently in the tent?" Essentially, I want to make sure that nowhere in Olathe is safe to rest. Though if this is too punishing, I could just have the tent unusable after one rest.
Secondly, the Auroran guy is not a bug. To be honest I might very well change this, as I don't really see anything wrong with checking if he has new dialogue after his hit the first time.
Thirdly, I did make sure to check if the stat downgrades were all in order, but I might've missed something and will definitely check that out.
Same with the hint poster, I had no idea it crashed the game now, it's supposed to have new stats in it and everything.
Thank you for the feedback, I might update this page again with these things fixed thanks to you.
