|
||
>> I don't know. Do you want to kill as many people as Hakram has? And lose the flesh on one hand?
|
||
|
||
>>> **u/JdubCT** [+7] (9 hours later)
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> Can't get anywhere in life by -not- becoming a necromantic abomination while being the right hand to a future evil overlord.
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> One thing I really like about Hakram is that he has essentially traded a hand for renown, respect, and a toolbox to deal with things he normally could not. It's like one of those magic weapons they talk about, super useful with potential huge drawbacks (if he ever fights a necromancer, but if Apprentice is around who cares about necromancers?)

|
||
>> Is trapping someone in an eviscerated horse what they call a "slam dunk" in Callow? Maybe that's just a Deoraithe colloquialism.
|
||
|
||
>>> **u/JdubCT** [+2] (17 hours later)
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> Trapping someone in a dead horse then smacking them with a hatchet until they die is. But not in Callow, just Arcadia.

|

> 1. Recognising her mistake.
|

|
||
> 2. Gathering all her forces rather than going it alone.
|
||
>
|
||
> 3. Sending Hakram in for the Count and cementing Hakram's rise in power by doing so.
|
||
>
|
||
> 4. Plotting with the Duchess.
|
||
>
|
||
> 5. Sending in the Watch immediately once the Count was dead.

|

|

|
||
>> If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the orcish song of the dead from the Balestra interlude. I loved how the final stanza inverted the meaning of the repetition "Come to die".
|

>> **u/MoralRelativity** [+1] (16 hours later)
|

|
||
>> I agree. That one was moving the way this one was not.
|
||
|
||
>>> **u/JdubCT** [+6] (16 hours later)
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> I thought this one was awesome. It's basically cementing Deadhand's legend. As Diabolist has already proven, names can evolve with enough zeitgeist.
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> Also, Hakram doesn't have a third aspect... yet.
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> Edit: Also I'd like to point out. The scope of the two songs is entirely different. One is about an entire army of footsoldiers and how they'll live. The other is about what happens if you fuck with the one handed man.

|

>>>>
|
||
>>>> I agree that it's an important part of Hakram's growing power and reputation. In fact, it (combined with Hakram's actions) made me think that he may transition to Warlord 2.0.
|

|

>>>> Also, I agree about the different scope of the two songs.
