        I’d have to agree that it’s a tiny bit insensitive, but it matters little. There’s a small part of me that wants to see Magda throw down, so I’ve some tiny hope that the script perminiatures for this.

        That last one was a stretch . . . UNLIKE THE DWARVES.

      And poor Magda is just so earnest.

      …the avatar of the god she worships. Huh.

            The ‘Peace Talkers’ having the only living Mystic, and personal friend of her uncle, among them seems a tad more likely.

        Is it bad that so far this team seems to have more reasonable members than the heroes started with? (more as in number/proportion of team, not necessarily amount of reasonableness)

          To be fair, the Gastonian adventurers just happened to be in the area for a quest that called for a party, whereas this is a specifically-sought team of elites hand-picked from the entire army of the Savage Races.

      Which could have another context…

    I’m getting a distinctly Dell Conagher (TF2 Engi) vibe from Goblaurence. He solves practical problems, and questions about Campions are not practical nor real problems.

    Goblaurence is looking very gobgrinchy.
    It could be, perhaps, that his boots are too tight.
    It could be his goggles aren’t screwed on just right.
    But I think that the most likely reason of all
    May be that his heart is two sizes too small.

    Im starting to wonder about the significance of the Deep Raiders Tattoo we see on the lands sharks. I dont know if tis anywhere else but I haven’t noticed it till it cropped up on the Arm of the Land Shark bard hero from the backer pages. Now hammerhead has it too.

    Goblaurence seemed good at this “apply the right amount of force only when most needed” at first glance.

    But right now… I’m not sure how an one-way trip from Pyroland to Landsharkville will help him.

    And this is why they need Penk… to get the group to act like a group. I almost wonder if Penk is Best now… and the rest of them are all PCs beta-ing the game on regular consoles.

    “… But anyways, yeah, heard they got a kid for the Trolls, but the crazy bastard threw ‘imself into a volcano ’cause Harky told ‘im to do it. ‘Least Harky got a good laugh out of it, can’t blame ‘im, who would just blindly do something like that? Even *I* know that’s a classic Troll prank.”
