: I completely agree with Dan on this one. It's just plain
: strange to postulate that Soulblighter doesn't
: "really" try to prevent you from throwing
: the head in. The first guys he goes for are generally
: the dwarves, because he knows that they are the only
: units that could carry the head. If he "just
: barely" misses the head, that's because you've
: won! Are we to suspect that every time we defeat a
: Fallen Lord, that's what the Fallen Lord wanted to
: happen? As for everything else you've said, all that
: you've established is that 1.The Deceiver hated the
: Fallen Lords, which just proves how reliant he must
: have been on Balor if he kept on serving them, and
: 2.He was weakened after the battle with the Watcher,
: which still leaves open the possibility that Balor's
: death was the blow that so completely weakened him and
: enabled him to be vanquished by the Legion.
No, Soulblighter didn't know dwarfs were the only cones who could carry objects and heads, *anyone* can but for *gameplay* reasons your dwarf had to carry it. A berserk carried the Head in the opening movie.
From GURPS :
"When the Fallen Lords first appeared, the Avatara mistakenly assumed that they consisted of the Balor and servants that he empowered. Subsequent events proved that each Fallen Lord very much wielded his own power on his own behalf, and that Balor's "lieutentants" really made up a Dark circle remarkably similar to The Nine's led by Alric."
For the last time, Balor did not have the Fallen Lords bonded to him, they were a group led by Balor.
You seem to be taking the Myth story as black and white when most of its characters walk through the gray consistantly. The story is not what it originally seemed.
