It's the sort of scrupulousness that an obsessive passion might compel.<br /><br />Overall, I think this might be my favorite episode so far. I'm pretty sure that it's the most genre-appropriate. I particularly liked how the two main episodes, although unrelated in themselves, ended up being linked as contrasting explorations of mercy and hospitality.

Chalk another one up for the Esoteric Order of Hospitality!<br /><br />The scene with Wulfram throwing himself on the mercy of a maddened baron was pretty amazing though. I'll support that Hospitality change.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987383774108570495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987461543629921122.post-44267003288231364412014-08-25T15:09:11.724-06:002014-08-25T15:09:11.724-06:00Yeah, there's something weird going on with th...Yeah, there's something weird going on with the feed link.

Basically, Aeron was hit twice by secondary attackers; you caught yourself the second time when you were about to apply the shield bonus, but the first time the shield bonus was applied.<br /><br />I kind of like the idea of a stigmata!David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987461543629921122.post-7692650405772102192014-08-25T08:10:32.319-06:002014-08-25T08:10:32.319-06:00I'll have to re-listen to that combat section,...I'll have to re-listen to that combat section, things tend to get pretty hectic, numbers-wise during play.

[Healed to 5, but actually at -1.]<br /><br />Normally, I'm for game mistakes being hand waved away, but the chance for Sir Arron to be visiting the pilgrimage chapel to see what the fuss is about and having that spear wound reopen stigmata style killing him would be pretty cool.<br /><br />The Lord having kept him alive long enough to save the Baron's soul even adds to the story.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121274732936955653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987461543629921122.post-62300110348049888912014-08-25T06:19:17.102-06:002014-08-25T06:19:17.102-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121274732936955653noreply@blogger.com
