[Lupus]

So I was exploring a castle with my new adventurer, where I came upon a & in the main room with the ruler, when I selected it its profession was listed as prisoner, I talked to it and asked it if it wanted to join me in my adventure, surprisingly it agreed. I suppose this is due to it being a prisoner, perhaps defaulting to wanting to escape thereby allowing me to recruit him. Pics follow:

edit: apparently it was a captured law giver

[Chilton]

May it spill much blood on your behalf;
Lest it shed its own for the good of us all.

[Lupus]

Hopefully it doesn't breath its poisonous vapors on me...

Edit: Wow, it destroys everything in its path...This is going to be fun, also out of curiosity has this ever happened before?

[Chilton]

Yes it has - It wouldnt be the exact same demon, as theyre quite unique in detail.

However, ive heard of people and spoken to one who have them



Its still uncommon if not rare

[Lupus]

Its already killed a troll and a crocodile with no damage to itself. Add a masterful night monster and a gloom troll.

I've gotten two in one adventure. One is a lizard monster, and the other is a bison demon drunk. Both originally listed as prisoners. the bison demon spits frozen spit things that kill stuff. I was confused at first because it looked like people were just falling over and bleeding during fights for no reason.

I like the idea of the honorable demon.  You freed it, so it obeys you in payment.  Would be even more interesting if it would stay with you until it saves your life and then, its debt payed, leave.

Being a demon, honorable or not, wouldn't it be more likely to destroy everything you've ever loved and then ride your corpse to hell? That way it could honorably quest with you until it's debt is payed, and then kill you to shit like a good demon should.

I made a bug report regarding these yesterday, as the one I found didn't exactly behave correctly. It'd be useful to know if anyone else has experienced the same issue.

[Yoink]

"Didn't behave correctly"?!? DUDE!! It's a demon!! You're lucky if it doesn't tear your head off as soon as it's free!!

[Dae]

I highly support the idea of freeing a demon prisoner, who was once the leader of a vanquished country, and have him follow you as a payment. Once everyone has incentives and desires, this situation will be handled by the personnality of the creature, and this "bug" (which is awesome) will solve itself.

UPDATE: while battling a roving band of goblins the bison demon and lizard monster betrayed me. At first it looked like they were fighting like normal, then I was wounded and crawled behind them for protection (It was a massive amount of goblins) While a Goblin swordsman advanced on me. Given their track record I expected them to go through him like a hot knife through butter.

Instead they stood their and watched as I fought for my life and eventually died, My adventurer did manage to get a good kick to the head in and kill the goblin. I'm just imagining the stories that poeple would tell around the fire of this guy. The new adventure mode is a lot more story like.

Spoilered so you don't have to read my horrible story.

In his first quest fought a night creature with his bare hands until the beast latched onto his arm at which point he picked a spear off of a corpse and stabbed it in the mouth until it let go. He could never use that arm again but that wasn't about to put him down.. no sir.  Then he began looking for allies, and found his friend Ibel the lizard monster. Despite the warnings of the guards he chose to free the beast from imprisonment and recruited a few swordsman. Later he freed the drunken bison demon kivish and went off to slay an outlaw boss. During the approach to the camp He took lead and when they came across a lookout managed to disarm and kill him, without a weapon, before the rest of the team could even get close. then they fell upon the rest of the bandits and killed them all.

He traveled the world slaying a cyclops, putting an end to multiple night creatures, defeating more kobold ambushes than I can remember, and finally, how was he killed? He was betrayed by the two creatures he trusted most, and even then with the help of his loyal human followers still managed to knock a goblin army down a peg or two. Culminating with him, mortally wounded, bleeding out on the ground as a goblin approaches to end him, Wrapping his knee around the sword and kicking the goblin in the head so hard it pushed the skull into the brain killing the goblin where he stood.. and then he died of blood loss while his two closest friends watched surrounded by bodies, goblin and human.

Well, you put so much faith in them, and they chose inaction when you needed them most. If this was recent, open the game log in the games files and get a transcript of your murder - Id like to see it

[druid91]

It's long. My guess is that the monsters used to be a part of whatever civ the goblins came from. Also I could have sworn that I grabbed the sword but apparently I didn't have possession when the kick happened.

Thats positively one for the history books - You shattered his skull right before your body gave up on you - It was a lucky shot, based on how horrifically maimed you were, making it all the better

Bravo!

Now to try and do something equally spectacular and save my own life :p
