God, now that really is testing my memory; I can't even remember what I got out of the fountain and thought it was a sword or something. I do remember it being upset for some reason and feeling sorry for it. But the distribution of experience or skills or whatevs is definitely Raze's territory, I've always been a bit chaotic and "hope for the best" with my progress, which to be honest hasn't served me well.
My games PC is back online again (needed to replace the CPU cooler) so I'll see if I can coax that mystery comment out of Ms Dormer a bit later.
