Honestly, I don't think Eva should have been introduced in Salt in the Wound. The finale of a quest series is FAR too late to introduce what is supposed to be one of the main protagonists. Sure, she'd be fine if she was introduced or at least referenced in a previous quest, but she just comes out of nowhere.
If they needed a character to fill the Melee spot, they should have just included Sir Tiffy instead. I imagine they didn't do that because Ritual of the Mahjarrat was in development at the time, but a rework wouldn't have that issue.
Also, some points regarding Kennith. He's definitely not connected to the slugs. Kennith's Concerns shows him to be acting independently of them, and to "simply" be a child with extraordinary powers. Of course, Ezekial does hint that there's more to how he got those powers in the first place, saying that there's something fundamentally wrong with Witchaven.
And while Kennith growing up did make sense, it deserved to get more of an explanation than it did, since it wasn't explained too well, and some players who kind of forgot what happened in the previous quest thought that Kennith having magical powers was an asspull. That said, I disagree with Jagex's choice to age him up in the first place; it had no real reason besides Jagex's reluctance to show a child in combat. (Smiddi Ryak also suffers from this). And yet they allow us to kill gnome children, what blatant racism towards gnomes!
He's definitely creepier as a child, and aging him up kind of got rid of his main attribute, that being a "creepy child with sinister powers". Any SITW rework should have him stay as a child, maybe with a protective shield if Jagex are worried about showing violence to children.
You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?
