“Pathetic spirits of the dead! I am Calruz, leader of the Horns of Hammerad! By the House of Minos, I challenge you. If there is any honor left yet in your defiled corpses—face me and meet your end!”
“There’s no way in hell I’m retreating, not without a huge pile of gold to put on my people’s tombstones.”
“The dead do not like sound any more than you do. It is an intrusion. I have challenged their honor. And so—we begin!”
“I can only do that once a day at my level. But yes—it can change a battle. The rest of my skills are mostly defensive or information-oriented, so this is all I can do.”
“Now? Now we get the treasure.”
“Not every Skill or spell must be shouted.”
“You speak of seeking them out in their homes, but that is foolish. We are adventurers. We are stronger than they are. If we remove the element of surprise and cowardly attacks from behind, we stand a better chance of wiping them out at once than fighting with our backs to the walls every five minutes.”
“Screw me with a Wyvern’s tooth, what the hell was that?”
“I do not need a Skill. Be ready. When they attack, we will crush them.”
