I rolled up a Peasant-power human swordsman. Actually, he was just Competent with swords and had a few skills at dodge, armor use and shield use.
It started out pretty good, I was immediatly tasked to kill a few bandit leaders. Some were human, some were goblins. But almost all of them, except a Hammerer, were crossbowmans/bowmans. I went solo.
The first guy fell pretty easily. I managed to cut his bow wielding arm enough for him to drop the bow. Than I smashed my shield into his face and he fell over. Than I pretty much hacked him to pieces before his friends show up. And die.
Same story for the other guys.
I ran into some boogymans who gave me a little bit of trouble but died too.
Here is a tip: Never, ever, fight if you're drowsy. I will tell you why.
I went to a castle and got some high profile jobs. Can't exactly remember what the lady asked me to do, but the part I do remember is that she sent me after a Brush Titan. Or was it Bush Titan? I doubt it was the presidential kind. (Pun intended).
Me and some of my companions fought for like... half an hour. He managed to kill some of my 'legendary' units. A spearman and a axeman. It took a long time to kill him mostly because I think his scales were uber and my sword was made of bronze.
I went back to report the death (This was really far from the castle) and I became a legendary hero.
When I talked to people they were dumbstruck and went like 'A legend? Here?' really cool.
Than I went to kill the Dragon which was the last Megabeast around. I wanted to see if after that they'll send me off to kill Forgotten Beasts. But I got cocky, and I didn't rest at all. I took care of goblin ambushes easily earlier, when I was well rested. But I didn't stop traveling for two entire days and thought of sleeping in front of the Dragon's lair, figuring I had enough followers for no one to bother me.
.. Wrong.
The goblins immediatly shot and killed my legendary axeman ( The one that survived the titan) I killed a goblin crossbowman. I killed another one. I than dodged into a frozen river. And I could've escaped. But I found a ramp, climbed up there, fought a few more goblins and found that I couldn't win, as now they had both my lung and my heart bruised. So I fled.
Than I ran into boogymans, and considering how easily I dispatched the earlier group I stood my ground and fought them. Than they pretty much killed me.
Lesson learned. Never fight when drowsy. Still haven't figured out what comes after Megabeasts.
