"Unexpectedly" eh? I'd think you'd expect damn near anything to happen at this point considering I've been throwing pretty much every nastiness the game has at you. My personal favorite kill was probably the seeking arrow volley I launched at Magoth though, the general reaction to that one was "you killed him with WHAT?" when I mentioned it in the IRC channel.

The AoV casts Ritual at the start of the battle when it's worn. The effect doesn't wear off until used. She had it on in a previous battle.

Yeah, the boots of youth thing does suck, I found that out the hard way too. Might want to drop it in the bug thread.

And don't worry about the luck thing, I got off easy. The fight to beat as far as lucky hits against me is when one commander with a black bow managed to feeblemind my Aegis bearing Niefel Jarl that was wearing my ring of wizardry (to cast cloud trapeze) on round 1 of the fight. This kept him from getting off bless and soul vortex, which resulted in his untimely death, taking his equipment with it.
