Twerp eventually lived up to his name and failed to test himself against the ToB challenges.
He made his way through Suldanesselar bumping off golems and rajahs in melee without problems. For Nizi he laid down traps and dodged insects and breath until Nizi walked forward into them. The 6 standard snares had him badly injured and the time trap finished him off.
On to the Tree of Life. Traps were set for Jon, but failed to damage him (I was pretty sure this was different from vanilla, but just double-checking). Twerp was also unable to hit him during his first time-trap. That was also true at the start of his second, but mid-way through Carsomyr hit home. Contingency saved Jon there, but his defenses were gone when the third time trap triggered - though again he took some time to accept that he had been defeated.
On to the Tears. With my last swashbuckler I deliberately took on the elder orbs in the Fear challenge, but this time I intended to just pick up the Tear and leave. I checked my spell save (-5) and concluded I didn't need any other means to defend against the fear effect. That was the first mistake as I assumed that the effect could be saved against. Twerp ran around for a while until he contacted the beholders, but their initial attacks were standard beholder fare and no danger to him and he came to his senses. Still slightly shocked that was when I made the second mistake of assuming the fear effect was one time (and hence did not equip the dragon slayer sword). As he was picking up the Tear Twerp got scared again - and this time there was to be no reprieve from the Monopoly death.
