My impression has always been that Generals are tougher than a brick wall, but slightly slowerPowder, you better go greatknight so you're a near-literal one
I've always preferred Generals, personally. Less mobility, but a bit better stats, I think.
My avatar is borked. .O.Looks fine to me?
Who said it was going to be me that will interrupt your conversation? :3You're the only one with magic forest-invisibility hax
I do hope these three didn't wander off by a forest though :3Except we specifically wandered away from you, since you're busy chopping up a corpse looking for a stone of indeterminate size

: "Well, I don't think you'd carry it around, and if it was back in your home village the invaders likely would have found it...": "The forest I met you in! You mentioned you were living out there for some reason, but you wouldn't tell Prixima why!"In custody is their phrase of choice, so I guess he's not dead.I take it the other half is figuring out why they did all this?
Guess we're halfway done with all this mess.
: "You'd be surprised what a man will do for treasure, Char. Your experiences with bandits should have taught you that'd they kill dozens for far less than a Dragonstone."Gregor tried to parse this for a moment.: "It's very concerning. To put this as bluntly as possible: I know the location of a second stone, and I think Seyena, our Pegasus Knight, might be its rightful heir. But only now is it clear there's amazing value held by the stones. The idea that someone could find out about it and start this sort of bloodshed again... it's very unnerving."
: "That's...quite a claim."
: "It's complicated. See, his former leader was killed - poison, I believe - before his group could start this job. Someone else was in charge, but he and Adrien had a falling out after some questionable tactics. He's the only one of the original mercenary group to step up to the plate, though I wouldn't mind a change in leadership once we get back."
"It's not a pretty occupation, and I have done things I'm not proud of. But I keep my word, and I am not yet so far gone that I take joy in slaughter."
"Tell me, what is the Lady Prixima like? I have never met her in person. Is she just, and fair?"
: "For a...certain definition of just, I suppose. Criminals are treated quite harshly under her command. She wasn't my first choice for commander; I think my father may have had some say in my posting at her fort."
