    The question is…how many lives does Best have?

      Well, he does have the best life insurance policy around.

        As long as he’ll Payet, it’s the Best policy there is.

      It’s a mercy that he’s not a regular player. Loosing a second character like that…twinking gets old fast.

        The Emperor in the body of Ned Flanders probably sounds more like Seth MacFarlane. Even if WAV survives he just lost his weapon and will be unarmed unless they kept Best’s ax.

    Observation: Frigg will fight enemies, but I’ve never seen her kill a defenseless person. Wav was defined as “enemy” only because he was attacking, not because of any group identity.

    It seems to me that Frigg’s definition inside the berserker spell is solidifying, too.

    And we all know how much Frigg likes being told what to do. :)

      That was my thought too. If there’s one thing that is likely to cut through any amount of brainwashing and torture to jumpstart Frigg’s personality, it’s being told to do something.

      If she was infected by any other cultist, I’d have no doubt that Frigg’s normal willful defiance would allow her to shake it like it was nothing.

      However, she was infected by newly minted god & chief antagonist, H.R.. So I’m on the fence about what will happen with her.

      Obviously he has to test his new powers first in order to be sure of his new found godhood. Plus he could basically be making himself into a Shiva-style destruction god. After all, he must destroy what already exists to create his perfect vision, and must convince all that he is a god, not just his little death-cult.

    Let’s see…the group is protected by a (wobbly) bubble, and there are LOTS of cultists around.
    And there’s still a berserker on the loose.
