: Technically, the Watcher was suborned by Balor. Like the
: other five Fallen, he was forced to be a slave.
: Yes, but consider the following. The Trow became allies
: with the Balor Leveler, because they recognized his
: connection with Connacht. Now, why wouldn't this Alric
: Leveler want to try the same thing with the bolgs? The
: dark never turn down offers from living people.
: Mentioned in the Mayor's flavor text.
Hmm, I never thought of that, but it wsa the power of b'Yaggo he wanted not the Bre'Unor.
: I just brought them up because Alric would rather have an
: army of archers instead of a couple of weak
: cult-maniacs who can throw jawbones but that's about
: it.
: I see what you mean. But binding dead ghosts, especially
: the ghost of Soulblighter, probably involves inputting
: more work than extracting anything else useful in
: return. I mean, what can SB offer Alric? Swordsmanship
: lessons? But Alric owned him in the swordfight. The
: only thing I can see is maybe that
: Cloudspine-shattering dream he had, but otherwise I
: don't see as of yet why Alric would go through that
: trouble.
Well actually what the spell actually does is enhance the power of the user by drawing from the power of the souls of arch-mages, and once set up it doesn;t need much matanence
: I was assuming he had used his connections to gain some
: of the Light. Exactly like Balor did with the Myrms
: and the Trow.
I never thought of doing that, but it seemed unlikely, I think the light is stripped of all but those who cannot be preened from the good side, well not all of them anyway.
