Your favorite companion
« on: January 16, 2011, 05:37:07 pm »

My favorite companion is a human elite wrestler. He started out as a lasher but soon was turned into a cripple (i don't even remember when and by what). He bit and shook his way to elite wrestlerdom, and when i checked his attributes with dfusion i found he has superhuman willpower. He saved my adventurers butt a few times by taking numerous beatings when i passed out from pain. Broken limbs he doesn't care about since he has had motor and sensory nerves of every limb severed for quite some time. I would equip him with the best large iron crap i run across but he can't pick it up so he will have to keep going like this.
His nose is broken and his right hand thumb is gone, and all his limbs bear the mark of old wounds including a massive straight scar.
How about your favorite companions (can they still stand and hold weapons)?

My favorite companion is, and always will be, Drunks.

It's hard to find them, though. But hey, that's what makes them awesome. They're rare, and extremely powerful.

This explains a lot! My current adventurer's first recruit was a drunk, who has been the only companion to consistently survive encounters with bandits/warlords etc. The most badass thing she's done was cut someone in half with her iron carving knife :3c

I just found this one guy named (Reko Mallumutk "Reko the Perplexing Martyr" Charcoal Devil) And i  found him inside this one human keep labeled as a prisoner  his equipment was decorated Nicely with facy items and his description is as follows (A great scaly Coyote twisted into a humanoid form it, Squirms and fidgets, Its charcoal scales are jagged and close-set, Beware its Fire !

He is skinny)

So this guy is some kinda forgotten beast that was captured or somthing? hopefully he will make a kick ass companion ! and turn all those goblins into !!Goblins!!

Log : When i was exploring with Reko we found some lions and he threw a fire ball at one lion killing it and then he ran into the flames and killed the rest !
Log II: After when getting almost to a fort i was heading too we where ambushed by a team of humans and I noticed Reko can also  Breath fire aswell as throw it also he is an awesome fighter
Log III: Later after 3 Ambushes i fell pray to a mace goblin because Reko got distracted by a swarm of buzzards and chased them away with fire balls while my skull was bashed in , maybe i  will find him again?

My favorite companion is Laura. Well, she was my favorite companion, until she betrayed me - She shot me with an arrow during a fight, and she didnt even try to claim it was an accident.

Now, shes lieing on the ground in a small cave, with the tendons in her legs cut, broken ribs, a broken leg, a broken arm, a broken hand, and a dagger sticking out of her left eye. She wont die any time soon either - I made sure of that.


Damn i feel bad :(
This is the third time this has happened to one of my companions

That reminds me of the time one of my companions stole a titan kill from me.  I took them out into the forest and burned all 8 of them to death.

My favorite companion has always been and will always be a Long Sword.  It is so fun to watch limbs go flying.

I've never had a specific companion that I remember, but I do enjoy conscripting a mob of villagers armed with knives. I got the idea after I stumbled upon a kobold cave with something like 150 kobolds in it. They're weak, but when they mob you, they don't screw around.

I have a spearman, the the second guy I ever recruited. His legs got smashed to pieces, they healed, but he still crawls from the old wounds...
..and he just got knocked unconcious.
And a chieftess is trying to knock his head in.
And his helmet is stopping every blow.
This could get embarrassing...

I figured the guy was a goner too when a noseless bat from hell flew right over the fortifications and attacked.

I still remember my first companion; I was a total noob to adventuring, and recruited a Bone Doctor under the (mistaken) belief that he might do some doctoring. Hah. Ha. Not so much, but every combat log thereafter was full of him twisting his copper knife about in wounds and ripping off fingers/toes/hands - I liked to think that he was, ah, "practicing" his profession upon the kobolds. He outlived a good many professional soldier companions too, even 'til his end he was crawling around stabbing that knife into eyes and twisting it about with his one good hand - cackling madly as he did so, I have no doubt. Eventually eaten by a Jaguar ambush; I always thought the old mad doctor deserved a better end.

I named most of my companions after friends. All but one of them died. Unfortunately, he was disabled by a cyclops who scratched his leg clean off. He didn't die there, but he did later after we had some more adventures and killed a couple titans.

Macemen are good too.
Though my fave are miners. These are like perfect "chop-chop-crush-pwn" machines. And they usually come broad, tough and muscular - finding a scrawny miner can be a quest on itself.

Drunks are an interesting alternative. I should look them up.

I don't remember his name, but my favorite was the one that I took out into the mountains, then killed him, and took his soul armor.
