: Yes indeed.
: When you think about the idea of Alric slicing through a
: few dozen Myrks Solo, it is in some respects a
: reflection of his character, that these nightmares in
: flesh cannot fight against a man fighting for the
: survival of his people, someone who needs to redeem
: themselves, mirroring the way Connacht fought in a
: way.
What did Alric need to redeem himself for again?
(Keep in mind, the legendary armies of the West didn't fight nightmares made flesh, so I don't know how fair it is to say they've gone "soft".)
: One way to make the ending a bit more exciting would be
: to add a time factor. Alric is defeating SB's small
: army around the Cloudspine, but SB has recalled his
: entire, massive army from all over the Province, and
: their marching slowly toward Tharsis, and basically
: Alric has to defeat SB before that enourmous army
: arrives and crushes them. Just as this massive army
: pushes the Bruig army over the Ire river as Alric and
: SB do battle within Tharsis, They all collapse as
: Soulblighter falls into the lava and perishes.
: -zeph
Now that would be dramatic.
A scenario in which you had to deal with this army would be very fun...in a "Across the Gjol" kinda way.
