As Haldor wrestled with the beast, he managed to let off some quick sentences. "Look here, don't you assume, boy. If you've been listening at all, you'll know that this is all a bloody massive coincidence if Wren is just on a jolly holiday somewhere else. Isn't it pretty likely that she'll want to be here, now that we are carving through the valley and hopping all her old friends? Stop trying to be a smartarse and concentrate!"

Nah, it was originally 'Scum or dumb, scum or dumb...' as coined by def in Gotham City, I should know, my team was on the recieving end. Your roleplay session was pretty cool, Flipz!

Haldor stopped dead, speaking just a few words before he launched himself forward. "Wren, she's here." With just a tinge of fear, he charged toward the creature and attempted to tackle it to the ground, from the front row. Gray Wizard, seeing the Nord run forth, decided to wait back in reserve. Battle Order: Cronk Tesni Alexis Arthur Haldor

Got the demo version today, I really enjoyed playing it. I was pleased that all the robots resembelled their 80s counterparts, that I grew up with. The transforming feature is very well done, and the online mode was awesome, very exciting. Can't wait to get this game soon.

Haldor sighed as Sasha told her tale. "Sounds like Roderick was dabbling in things that he couldn't control. As much as he said he wished to slay Zoot, he was playin' right into his big greedy hands. What do you Zoot wants more than anything else, than to be dragged right into our world, so he can unleash his chaos and disorder on all that we hold dear? Shouldn't mess with Gods, it ain't right." I'm ready to move along now, but I'm happy to wait if Flipz has something planned.

Once again, the new series has just ignore the fifty years of Doctor Who before. Daleks have EMPERORS or SUPREME DALEKs, not Prime Ministers. Matt Smith is a good Doctor, but he is let down by the script writers on many a occassion. Also, since when have Daleks had a Parliament? The Dalek Empire has been totalitarian for as long as the Doctor has been fighting them.

A lot, just read the progression of Haldor's story throughout my time here. The spirit in the gem never existed until Quest #12, nor did much of his past. Thoric was pretty much invented for Haldor, but now he is a fully accepted member of the Norse pantheon, albeit with some little changes. The stuff with Jess, I just sort of made it up as I went along. The more astute of you will notice a progression in the way that Haldor speaks, over the years, his personality is also vastly different; but I attributed that to his advancement and realisation that he was favoured by a God.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. I wouldn't go back to cleric, but I think that Shaman suits Haldor fine for the forseeable future. Sort of, but you'll spend the majority of the time playing a basic class that wasn't your choice, or worse one that you aren't equipped for. I just read the description again, it appears that the player actually chooses the class that they want to play that turn, my mistake

I agree with you, JimB, about not choosing a Master class. Neither Prophet nor Mine appeal to me. Mime is just a fusion of all classes, which is fine until Haldor picks out the Ranger or Mage sets, then he is useless. I'm not keen on Prophet either, as Haldor would have to sacrifice his harder hitting and high health to use spells and ranged combat that I wouldn't like anyway. I guess my playstyle is pretty weird for a cleric anyway, which is why I don't fit in with any of the choices. I'm not overly keen on any of the Expert classes, as the only options for my style is either give up healing to become stronger, or give up additional power to become a real healer.

Haldor elbowed Arhur sharply in the ribs, hurting him rather more than he had intended to. "Don't offer yourself up lad, see what happens first, this thing might still have her body."

Fortunately, Heroica has no weight limit like Skyrim!

"So she lives? That is good news for our ears, creature, thank you for your help. But don't call me foolish, you are the one who is very deeply confused. I find it most amusing, you say you serve Ennoc, yes? Yet you attack travellers and ask for sacrifices to your God? Ha, how wrong you are, you do not serve Ennoc, twisted acolyte of darkness. Ennoc would not accept one such as you in his service, for all the little that I know." Haldor laughed and kicked dust into the priest's face. Walking back, he spoke again. "But, as much as I despise you, I know that we need you intact to rescue the lady Sasha, so go along with your games I must." The Nord reached into his bag, rummaging for unneeded items. He pulled out a vial of venom, and an old and musty bedroll. "This is what I can spare, and I offer these things to you in exchange for her life, fiend. Now we have seventeen, Arthur, care to stop winking at the ladies and chip in?"

At the suggestion of his collegues, Haldor walked over and sharply kicked the priest in the stomach, he then knelt down to speak to the creature. "Well hello again there! Me and my friends have a few little things we'd like to run past you, see if you can't be some use after all. To get the ball rolling, tell us what happened after you met those heroes seven years ago? We saw you fighting them, and that bastard Roderick saving his own skin, but what happened next? Help us out here, mate, and then we'll decide what to do with you."

Haldor took a drink of mead from his flask, now that the wicked thing had been destroyed. The Nord felt pleased to have come out on top of what looked to be an impossible fight, but the courage of his friends was undoubtable. "Good work, comrades, we did well here. Not even this kind of twisted magic can stop the crew from Heroica, so it seems. Thank the bloody Gods for your little friend there Cronk, maybe Ennoc isn't so bad after all." The Shaman walked over to investigate the slumped figure of the fallen priest, still menacing despite it's weakness. Haldor spat onto it. "I hate ghosts, sometimes things should just stay dead." The Norseman poked the Priest roughly with his boot, and extracted a worn stave from underneath the beaten creature. "Which of you lot wants this, then? Alexis, how about a staff from your uncle Ennoc?" Haldor tossed the object heavily toward the Elf, not looking to see whether she had caught it or not. Turning back to the others, he addressed them all. "So, my rabble, are we ready to move out?"

"For love of the Gods, how many of these buggers can there be? I'm getting weary of this game." Haldor sighed, this wasn't the prefered result to what seemed like a simple fight, but had now evolved into a deadly chase of hide and seek. The priest of Ennoc was sifting his shape like a damp clay, morphing here and their until his imitations were too numerous to count, and the heroes could tell neither real from fake. The Nord slunk back by the cliffside, waiting to pounce on his enemies, carefully picking out his target as the Orc knight flung his bomb of light. Haldor's crystal blue eyes pierced through the fog, the one priest who flinched from the explosion would be the real one for sure, and the one that he would assualt, from the front row. Gray, in the heart of the conflict, prepared a burst of healing energy, on the same target. Battle Order: Cronk Tesni Alexis Arthur Haldor Gray

I've just had a terrible revalation, maybe Lycan is Ellaria's rapist? Now there's a thought...

But, if I put Arthur first in the battle order, he can't use magic this round.

Haldor stumbled as his weapon once again passed through thin air, this battle was starting to get old. "Nothing much we can do but keep trying, pick your targets, folks." Priest of Ennoc G looked as good a guess as any, and Haldor made sure to check if this one was real or not. The Nord charged forward, and began by landing a few quick blows onto the decrepit acolyte, from the front row. Gray, watching what had turned out, had decided to give a hand to the heroes. The old Cleric took point beside a boulder, and healed Priest A, knowing the reverse effects that his magic would do to a creature of the undead. Battle Order: Cronk Tesni Alexis Arthur Haldor Gray

Of course not, just shows that you have remarkable foresight for these things. But make sure that Lycan isn't sidelined by a character that won't even be around for a while, first character should be your first priority.
