With only three ogres left standing, the party concentrates their firepower to overwhelm the remaining Kreegs, taking little extra damage in the process. The sounds of battle reverberate through the stone-lined corridors of Fort Rannick’s main floor, threatening to give away the party’s position. Several minutes pass and there isn’t any sign of advancing ogres. …
As soon as Lucrecia vanishes, it becomes apparent that Jakardros is still under the effects of her influence, and he raises his bow to shoot another arrow at his daughter. Jak easily pushes off Theo’s feeble attempt to grapple him, but Fobias charges in and subdues the de facto Black Arrow leader before the shot …
When Fire Emblem was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, I was absolutely enamored with the characters – Rath, Dart, and Hawkeye will always hold a special place in my heart thanks to the massive weight they pulled over the course of the campaign. Each of the characters in the game is ripe …
Convinced, at least temporarily, of Trace Fellwinter’s good intentions, the party continues through the tunnels that no longer serve as a home to the kind, gentle, and stunning creatures known as shocker lizards. Seriously. They were just living their best lives and this group of murderous clowns just comes in an clears out the entire …
Accompanied by the reverberating echoes of the waterfall, the party cautiously approaches the two shocker lizards with Krask and Fobias leading the way. Their attempts to empathize with the lizards are met with hesitant retreat, and it appears as thought our heroes might be in the clear as the reptiles retreat down a side passageway. …
Using Rashaala’s insight, the party renews their pursuit of Kaven, hoping to catch him unawares before he reaches Fort Rannick. Fobias catches sight of the Black Arrow defector several hundred yards in front of the group, and they pause to formulate a plan. Chief Ripnugget’s wand of silent image comes in handy, allowing Theo to …
Krask awakens from his fever dream and keeps his memory a secret, not wanting the others to be reminded of his past (If you remember correctly, Krask stole from a red dragon who ended up wiping out his entire clan. And Krask is next. Okay, back to the action). Before venturing out to clear out …
The ogre spider lunges out at the party, using its web to quickly traverse the elevation needed to reach the heroes. Barnaby and Fobias are forced to hang around the outer edges of the room and wait for the spider to strike before they are close enough to hit it with a counter. Krask is …
The mysterious voice belonged to (big surprise) another orgekin, but this one was accompanied by two sniveling donkey rats that began to flank the party in the adjacent room. In the narrow hallway, the battle is congested and the bottleneck forces Fobias and Krask into the next room to free up the space for their …
Intrigued by the firepelt mountain lion’s behavior, the party agrees that it would be in their best interest to follow the animal, despite their urgency to learn the status of Fort Rannick. As they venture further into the woods, several primitive wooden fetishes stuffed with mud and hair hang from the trees, which Theo recognizes …
