Awesome work, then, Sandy. Funny to see how far the quest art has come from the generic colored light background.

Loving the banner, Kintobor.

"What could she have possibly have said to lead ya' to believe she won't destroy us or this city?"

" 'You Heroes', Arthur? You've got that part right, I suppose. I don't count you among us any longer. Not when you voluntarily align yourself with what we signed up to finish."

That's one thing I don't get. Isn't her goal to destroy Heroica? How isn't that evil?

Nonsense. Nobody trusts you enough to be surprised by anything you throw at us anymore.

"Sound enough to me, Cronk. But someone'll still have to take her Hastened free hit...if Haldor were to stand in the back row and went first in the order, he could survive it."

And yet here we are, a bunch of mortals fighting a god....

But he's not actively helping. The Quest is to defeat Wren, and he's... worshiping her. It's his choice, of course, but you can't expect people to respect him when he turns against everything they're fighting for.

I understand him, but everyone disagrees with him and he's literally getting in the way of completing the Quest by not helping.

Where'd you guys dump his body again?

Badass is something you are, not something you equip.

Double post.

One of my earliest SW sets. Nice review. Gosh, those colors. Almost forgot how awesome and rare all those dark red pieces were back then.

That would be a waste. Look at all his loot!

"Haldor, he's not worth the time, we should be more concerned about fightin' this wanna-be god over here..."

When we attack her, we roll two die and get the worst result of the two rather than the better. And if you're Lucky when you attack her, it'll cancel out to a normal die roll.

"And you call me a mirror." "Rot in wherever you believe death will take you, 'ya backstabbin' heretic."

Hopefully we get another Guardian Angel soon, then, otherwise we'll be sitting there for quite a long time. I'm just worried about this new passive special.

Hell no, I want my x16 multiplier. Zeph, how are we supposed to, you know, not die when we get hit by this thing?

"Show of hands, who saw that coming?" grumbles Atramor, swinging the Explosive Staff at Chaos Beast H from the back row.

You're still in the middle of battle. I need a battle order so that Docken can throw the bomb.

"I cared enough to try, Arthur. And I agree with Haldor, let's drop the theatrics and just finish this damn thing."

Hey, he's not totally unlikeable. Not unless he's trying. Or blowing you up with a Bomb XX, but I doubt NPCs take kindly to that either...
