That would be nice. I think we already have a torch effect. Is that
correct, Kamil? Anyway, much of the fort is interior, and forts aren't very
well sun-lit because they have few windows, so it is going to be very dark
inside anyway. The Goluruts would have torches burning at all times, so we
will have torches to make it brighter.

I don't know much about noise-maker arrows, but I think a metal-tipped arrow
smacking into a wall makes lots of noise anyway. That said, I'm not sure I
want to get into the whole "noise" thing. Noise is complicated.
The smoke, however, isn't a problem. I just need to make it block the sight
of the guards and it will be somewhat effective. Also useful would be if
they panic when they find themselves enveloped in smoke.

Yes, we could do this. Stealing other things was a given, I thought :) As
for the score, that's up to you, lead-designer-guy.
