When I got to the Myconids, I zombified a dead Duergar using Glut's spells. He died at one point. He's still in my party and I cannot remove him.

Glut can cast his spells every turn. I noticed this also with Halsin when he was a bear. It seems all NPCs that join your party can cast their spells every round and don't have to track spell slots. Since Glut has an AOE Haste spell, that's pretty powerful

I retrieved the Sussur bark from the Sussur tree and went back to the goblin forge and tried to merge it with a weapon, but one of the slots has the <image not available> icon that looks like a rat's tail in it and so I cannot combine it with anything to make the masterwork weapon. It's not like I need it. I have plenty of weapons at +1 or better, but... ya know.
