About the plot (spoilers)

[moonlite]

What was Shama's plan? Was he leading the Lady down to kill her, or to have her take his place? It seems like his attacking her at the end is a snap decision brought on by his madness, not what he meant to do all along.
And I'm not sure what killing her would get him, anyway. If he just wanted someone to hurt, he could have found victims closer to his lair.

Hey Shama's plan was to entrap the Lady in his place, so she has to keep the Oaksong alive while he roams free from his eternal duty - it was not his intention to kill her.

The nature of this spell casted at the very creation of the Oak required him to stay in the core and keep singing. One day he stopped tho, and found a clever way to escape too!

There's more to this story planned for the full release of the game : >

OH. Okay, thank you. I didn't know any of that. It explains a lot. Thanks for the deets.
