First thing we should do before the next mission is get some henches:
Destination.
We also get some extra meatshields in this mission. A swordsman, a crossbowman, a mage, and a horseman lancer. The horseman is pretty neat for scouting, since he moves almost twice as fast as Igles.
Damn right.
WE SHALL HELP YOU, OPPRESSED PEASANTS!
AAAAAATTAAAAAAACK!
Shit.
Crap.
Well, oops. Bumrushing them with everything we have is not quite a good idea.
Okay, enough. I'll keep the other cannon fodder in the back and wait for them to become useful 'cause they only take the healing from Igles.
That's better.
These faggots in the back demand a few fireballs to the face.
Level 4 giant bees. Bastards can turn invisible.
This guy tries to go all rambo on our asses.
Time to pack in some fire walls
Which wasn't that much of a good idea, since some of the mages retarget to Kingcomrad...
dammit.
Whatever, fireballs work just as well.
Routine encounter with some level 3 and 4 squirrels.
After which we're ambushed by Teyrack's men in the forest.
And, of course, after crossing one bridge, we find an undead camp. Because we can't have a single fucking mission without any undead.
...FUCKSAKES
zing!
This will require a different approach.
The redundant cannon fodder will assault the lich from behind while Igles + warrior hench fend off the skeleton assault.
Okay, that didn't quite work.
Next time Igles will tank alone and the warrior hench will join the strike team.
IIIIIIINCOMIIIIIIIIIIIING
Lich is down, fuck yeah.
Igles also did well.
Shit, MAN DOWN. MEEEEDIIIIIIIIIC
Crap. Ok, whatever, it was one of the cannon fodder we got at the start, and it was the crossbowman, so pretty much the least useful one, too.
Wooo, a dragon.
A salvo of firebolts to the face takes it down fairly quickly. And since the bastard died on unavailable terrain, it didn't drop any loot
The entrance to Teyrack's mountain fortress.
lotsa
schlong
These poison clouds are really fucking annoying.
A more strategic place among the trees.
But even if annoying, the poison clouds can be neatly used to our advantage, since friendly fire is very much active
The fortress's second line of defences.
Notice the explosion that nearly instagibbed Kingcomrad.
This, gentle readers, is the catapult hidden well behind the knights and mages. It has an INSANELY long attack range, does a lot of damage to unarmoured targets and loves to change targets without any visible reason, which means it can send 4 consecutive bombs into each of our 4 mages.
Shit is also reasonably tough, which means the lancer I sent to covertly kill it while everyone else is brawling is rather useless.
Tried some different formations, like this
Didn't quite work.
Also tried spamming the enemy with firewalls and running.
This is rather self-explanatory.
A hueg stand with pretty much all of our forces also didn't quite work.
This time, I spread Igles and the mages apart as much as possible. After the enemy attacked, the lancer and swordsman cannon fodder rushed from another position to try and hack up the catapult
The dumbfuck enemy mages summoned some poison clouds on their stupid asses.
The cannon fodder may not have quite succeeded in destroying the catapult, but they effectively gained its and the mages' attention, not to mention they made the mages suicide.
Their sacrifice will be forever remembered
Meanwhile, Igles actually managed to fend off all the attacking knights.
Afterwards, we send the warrior hench to finish off the catapult.
Last defenders of the fortress.
BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN.
But eventually, all cannons fade, and the renegades are all dead.
After looting everything in sight, Igles is carrying, among other things, 40 sets of steel armour. Add to that like 15 mage robes/capes/staves, 2 sets of mithril armour and some various other stuff like crossbows, swords, etc.
With all that in his backpack, his weight is 1113.4 . I don't know what units are used to measure it, but Igles obviously has a p. strong back.
Selling it all
gives us an enourmous influx of money.
Well then, which main quest shall follow next? The Elf...
... or the orc shaman?
Which is better and why? DISCUSS!!
