Aldermere 0.2.4: Codex, HighScores and an NPC combat rebalance

Codex#

Every NPC: search, or filter All / Hostile / Neutral / Friendly
Card shows portrait and combat level
Open one for Strength, Dexterity, Magic, Hitpoints, combat sheet (damage, Armour, speed), and drops with chances

64 slots (was 48). Tabs All / 1 / 2 / 3 only sort that pool — they do not add space
Visible grid is 6 of 8 rows (scroll)

Sell all at the General Store. Needs a full shop pack of something they buy (not Silver Coin)

HP bars Always or Selectively (hover / combat), you and NPCs separate. Starts on Selectively

Details strip no longer covers the last skill tiles
Mithril Bar: Smithing 31, Mithril Ore + Coal, 40 Smithing XP, 80 Silver Coin
Combat XP Scroll grants 500 XP (was 100) in Strength, Dexterity, or Magic
Lighting a fire is a 5 s Firemaking bar (was instant), then a 1 m step. No second fire within 0.9 m. A fight cancels the light. Log XP still 20 / 40 / 60

Crystal Mine a bit brighter, still a cave
Herb plants sit on the patch. Seeds are a green ovoid
Steel pick, axe, and arrows look steel
Goblin Runts 18→11. Deer 18→24
Craft stations: stand 1.5 m (was 2 m). Building walls block forge / anvil / rack

You walk in when an NPC is already closing — you do not plant

Goblin Scout, Goblin Shaman, Hobgoblin Scout, Hobgoblin Shaman, The Big Runt leash 50→30. The Big Runt also aggro 12→15

Soldiers (steel axe + wooden shield): Strength 25→10, Dexterity 1→10, Hitpoints 1800→800, combat 17→9. Sheet damage 275→170
Soldiers (leather): Strength 12→10, Dexterity 25→10, Hitpoints 1800→800, combat 20→9. Damage 184→170

Lowland Troll: Strength 35→21, combat 24→17, size 2.0→1.5×, Hitpoints still 2600. Damage 285→187. Both trolls grunt on attack and drop far more Troll Hide
Reaver: Dexterity 20→11, Hitpoints 1400→700, combat 14→7. Full Hard Leather (was leather + facemask). Armour 36→72
Reaver Captain: Strength 12→1, Dexterity 40→21, Hitpoints 2900→1500, combat 32→17. Full Troll Hide (Armour 66→144). Still dual Steel Daggers + Magic 10 self-heal

Soldiers now drop loot: a chance at each worn bronze or leather piece, plus Shrimp and Cooked Meat
Reaver: always drops Silver Coin, and a chance at each Hard Leather piece (was leather, less often)
Reaver Captain: always drops Silver Coin, and a chance at the Troll Hide Helm, Body, Legs and Boots
Possessed Goblin Axe: now a chance on the Possessed Hobgoblin (was guaranteed)
