So I just died for the first time and there are no options in the bottom half of the screen and nothing is happening (it doesn't actually say I'm dead but it says my throat got slashed so I assume I'm dead). I previously was able to go back to a save area upon failing my quest but not dying. So now I'm guessing dying is actually game over with no possibility to go back to the save portal. If this is the case and I can't go back to the save, then why isn't there an option to start a new game in the bottom h...

any hints on how to beat wasp man or get the spear?

Because it seems like that if I didn't go through a combat encounter unscathed, I might as well kill myself right then and there.

the word "buildning" instead of "building"

Base strength is 5, the battle-axe has a +4 Strength modifier and Fighting power of 6. When equipping the battle-axe the 4 is NOT applied to the Strength as a modifier it remains 5.
