I'm not sure what causes the Journal's right window to take so long to update. That's another issue I might look into later.
A Meteo Soldier guards allies that are under 25% HP. A lot of enemies that protect allies will use this threshold if they don't just always protect allies.
You'll find Minor Regen Rings in Orvas or the Challenge Tower, and these can be made into an Imbued version. Regular Regen Rings are sold in a later shop.
Shoot, there's an issue with the winning streak board. For some reason, it sets the variable that stored the winning streak to 0 after viewing it. I think I might have been testing the system, and forgot to remove this line. I'll give the Journal another look later today, then release a fix for that because that could be pretty aggravating.
The detective outside the Defenders' Rest might be keeping an eye open for any more suspects. And if Dill asks, he definitely isn't just doing that to get out of doing all the paperwork, no sir. As for the apples, they're probably just lying on the ground after having fallen off the trees.
