I dont think he's a hypocrite though, he thinks finding the chalice is the best way to re-invgorate the GG and stem the tide of corruption that has swept the land of Arkain cant really blame him for that, he is a paladin, we all know how paladins are like. He clearly got pissed when he found out Nyssara was a demon and had tricked him and cant really judge him about how he will deal with GG downward spiral without seeing it, Hell he actually accepting an undead in his crew kina shows that he isnt that much of a one dimensional character and its actually developing.

If anything he is the most resilint character in LoA, Gardon went from " I dont take the crown to be king, but to do what i must to save this land" to having multiple baby mommas and revivng a nation that pretty much everyone hated
Aridon had a mind shattering ephiphany and went from i will preserve to i will destroy it all
Renald went from being emperors lapdog to we need to join toghether and overthrow the Emperor
Amari well we gotta have to wait for her to get a rough estimate on how she has changed in this pas 20 years


Good ol Praxy boy just wants to bring back the glory of his Lads, cant fault a man for wanting to bring back the good times, dont we all after all, who doesnt want to wake up at 12 pm boot up the pc and game, then go out with the lads and crack open a cold one
To be fair, I don't think that Gordon's affair should be a reason for his downfall because he was never truly in love, but yes, Renald may no longer be the emperor's lapdog, but he was still a jerk supreme. Aridon, well, Aridon was always crazy, let's not say that his shattering relevance showed anything new. As for Amari, well, I think I can speculate that power might have gotten to her head, or that someone chose to try mind control because it seems strange for Inara to be closer to her. Now, yes, Prax and his party are probably some of the best people in the crazy continent Arkain became. We have Vlen "totally-not-Blen" the nameless, Darkan "Rebelious brother" Hammerfall, Calere "most-likly-black dragon" and in the end Krom and Praxeus, very weird party, but probably some of the best people right now -weird Krom is in it still- but it is true that the one character that moral never seemed to weaver is Prax, which is nice, but still i say he was way to judgmental towards Gardon, which again, not his fault since Gordon did a lot of shady stuff, but he also turned an blind eye to a lot of the golden guard shadiness

This mission has a lot of...twists, shall we say. Even though this mission opened a lot of questions again for me the most sus thing is the "gate". Out of all things we heard and saw in this mission that is what caught my attention the most. I do not believe that they truly lead to Rodan because I find it hard to believe that once GG fell out of grace of Emperor, Marins property wasn`t confiscated and thoroughly checked. Even if that was true, where the hell did he find that Demon and brought him to Keep without ANYONE seeing him. Very very suspicious.

Also, what is it with the area in forest that can`t be reached because there is no vermin there?

i think the night elf was supposed to be there? i also didn't manage to get there, so, who knows, but..yes..this map..did answar a lot of question, but i still dont trust Martin, but that would explain the gold in the treasury, so it's 50/50

Let's begin:
  • First of all Kneels my apologies for contaminated the lands of Arkain with such... aberration choices. Now I would play the missions again and be sure to NOT INCUR the wrath of the great ones. It was a mistake I paid the price by being beated time and again. It isn't worthy, THEY are not worthy, THEIR RACE IS NOT WORTHY TO BE HERE. I'll just find them and kill them. I don't want to pass such pain of battle again, never...
  • What our dwarf friend said and seeing this "Candle priest" in the Kobolds ranks... It seems Fiona and the inmortal Firelord are doing a great job by training the rats.
  • Hearing the battalions and their regrets make me feel bad. Then again, they are soldiers who followed orders, I can't blame them for their loyalty.
  • Marin's experiments are... questionable to say the least. Was he really using humans to find a way to create more angelics? Well, I think he repeated Lady Riana's sludge creatures quite well. The Golden Guard could use them against its foes.
  • Marin IS a mad scientist, but with good reasons. All what he said to Praxeus is true, he cared for the GG meanwhile our paladin was playing the hero around Arkain. Sorry Praxeus, he even used a DAMN DEMON GATE to have more resources for the survivors.
  • I must say, Nysara's return was something unexpected, and Krom was prepared quite well IN CASE she returned somehow and for unknow reasons. I sided with Calere in this one, even if she's a demoness, I'll put the benefit of doubt on her. After all, demons could be different, right Mr. Maronogin?
  • No Krom! Do not listen to that mad lich! You find new friends and things meanwhile he left you to a void in your... bones? Either way, I don't want Krom to return to Aridon. Also, I liked his disguise haha.
  • Well, Veln's true self was not revealed, but hearing the inner voice give me some ideas of WHO he is. Let's wait a see if we can find any clues.

What a good chapter. I'll wait for the next one.

My review of the recent chapter:
-How did the Golden Guard could buy a fortress from Rengar? Those guys should be the Kingdoms' most wanted. I am surprised they didn't put a lot of explosives right beneath the keep to kill them all.
-Praxeus is not even looking at the guards when speaking to them. Such disrespect! :xxd: :xxd:
-I bet the kobolds are outside because they were driven off from the caves by... something.
-Why is there a portion of the map we can't reach?
-Treachery within the Golden Guard. Sucks doesn't it? I bet the Kingdoms would find this hilarious.
-How on earth the Empire didn't find Marin's mansion and nationalize its assets? They had 20 years!
-Marin is near a breakthrough after 20 years. I wonder if he is denial.
-I think Nysara is being honest. We all know how much of a b# Ebira is.
-I start to wonder if Captain Lindra's rebellion wasn't planned by someone else.
-I am already expecting the worse once Veln regains his memories.
-Oh no. Aridon is calling Krom back to service. I want for him to reject this call and perhaps look for Rahandir

Grammar mistakes:
"... a gaint mutant..." ---> "... a giant mutant..."
"... burried" ---> "... buried..."

This still continues to be the dndest of DND campaigns and i am loving it.

By the way why cant we access that one part of the map with the cage?
Candlelord xd got a few chuckles out of me.

So let we all get this straight we are three chapters in and Humans are still finding ways to fight among themselves 20 years after the main book stories.
We have a demon that not only fell in love with a human but with a god damn paladin of the possible types of Humans she could have fallen for.
Krom's new drip is dashing, he still seems to be pissed of by the fact that people thought Arkanians had wings and now he is hearing voices in that lil bonny head of his.

Hey y'all can hate on Marin for what he did down there but He acting like a Oldhead would act if you stepped on his lawn when he demands answer as to why he is being bothred in his chambers made me laugh my ass off, also I am glad to see that despite Renald being gone, his legacy of commiting verbal murder on people he dislikes still lives on into Marin.


Two theories here What if Veln is actually the prince of Kerrel
and what if Valerie purposfully messed up with the Proccess (If i am not mistaken wasnt She taken captive by rahandir? its been a long while can someone clear that up for me )

Opposites do attract each other.

That was another angelic. If an angelic van Durce had gone missing, the Golden Guard would have unleashed a gigantic crusade on the world.

Oh right, thank you for clearing that up for me, this brain is getting old.

Opposites do attract each other.
It still feels weird she went and fell for the one thing that would smite her out of existence if he knew her true form, still the whole idea is kinda intriguing.

Also not Marin embracing his inner Abathur thinking of dissecting her
