      It’s funny cause I feel like most people would be, since you’d think logically a wraith could easily take a halfling. But her being hard to kill solidifies how she made it this far.

    I like the mental image of a Home Alone-style scene of Leiland trying to attack Ruckland, but Galfast and a bunch of halflings have set up random traps, shelves full of cutlery that get knocked over, fireworks, etc, so he's just exasperated the entire time and can't actually kill any of them.
