"Then you were blind to think a mortal could bend it to her will. We're not gods for a reason. You've proven that damn well enough."

Same here. I'm glad Wren's still in a state fit enough for mid-battle banter, even if it's not all as snarky as in Quest 48.

"Not enough to stop yourself. Not enough to keep every single thing you might've cared about die around you, often by your own hand or through your own actions. Even if you've only ever truly cared about Chaos, that's about to end too. You've lost everythin'. If ya' can feel that, then you've just made my day. You deserve nothing less," spat Atramor at the feet of this new self-proclaimed god.

"A mirror of your future, maybe. Not ours, unless anyone else here really believes in the idea I'm about to decapitate. Don't forgot it's what led to her insanity."

It looks like a hybrid of a pig and a Wookiee.

Heck, I'd prefer those to unique weapons, especially because higher-levelled players usually have some of their best weapons at a considerable WP, and you can only boost that so many times.

"Evidently she didn't feel enough to keep what remained of her party from gettin' slaughtered or possessed..." Don't worry, I have the same thoughts about Arthur.

Permanent, or temporary? Both sound great, I'm just wondering. The former would really be interesting. They wouldn't be game breaking, you'd just to be able to customize your weapons even further, crafting your own unique weapons out of them. Stuff like Mercutio's Blessing. Didn't see that coming. I swear you were going to ask for Shield Polish of Immunity to <insert anything here>.

I'll be disappointed if they do. There was reasoning for both Azog living and Haldir dying. (They needed a main villain for the first movie, and I guess they didn't want any leftover elves at Helm's Deep. ) Fili and Kili dying would really add a deeper feel to the movie.

"That's what I was thinkin', Skrall."

And it would kind of be pointless overkill. You could destroy all the Chaos Beasts he'll spawn once he's dead instead, you'd be dealing double damage against them.

I didn't say I didn't regret it Yeah, sure.

I already assumed you equipped it because Thormanil had a free artifact slot. You're welcome.

He's got the Briar Bow, I doubt he'd want to fight at half power in the back row with a close range weapon. But I've already made a more permanent deal with a different Assassin for it.

Loving that Elegant car. The TV van is nice too, and that is by far the best LEGO camera ever.

We owe this entire battle to Skrall. He absolutely decimated Chaos. But, you know, I'm not going to let a chance at an extra WP go to waste.

Meh, it's okay. It's not like we're not totally dominating the battle anyway. Atramor's dagger strike is interrupted by...something. His eyes flicker orange briefly, but nothing seems to happen. He steps backward, to spare a look at the dying Chaos. Sheathing Ratsbane, he walks straight up to the creature. It had the air of something...old. Beyond old. And somehow very powerful. He slid the Sword of Ancestral Hatred from within his cloak, and strode towards the creature in the front row. Whether he was the one to finish this abomination or not, it felt good to have the chance to finally remove the source of Wren's power from this world. Or maybe it was just the chance to prove that real faith in anything that didn't belong in the plane of mortals was utterly pointless. "Maybe Chaos' power isn't unfathomable as ya' thought, ya' crazy bitch."

Whoops, added them to his inventory but forgot to remove them from yours...fixed. Yes, that's how Enraged works.

Awesome. Thanks again for putting all this together CopMike.

Yeah, there should be 8 Water Bombs. Forgot to get the pictures.

That actually looks really interesting, Jeb. I have a similar idea called Warlock, but rather than summon demons he enthralls a target. Kinda wanna add to it using the Life Drain stuff.

I should gain 2 health because of Ratsbane. Atramor casually tears the dagger out of Sphinx, but stabs at him once more from the back row.

Well, actually, it is. Just on a much, much, much, much smaller scale.

Sometimes the cons just outweigh the pros is all. Black Knight deals damage to the entire enemy party. I just don't get why it seems more a combination of Frenzy and Magic Burst than Mug and Sentinel.
