With just a day to go until we release our first paid DLC for The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, we wanted to highlight our third adventurer, Haldar Eriksson!
Attack Patterns: Shielded Slash - Haldar utilises both his wits and small shield in a careful executed attack (Haldar cannot be damaged while using this attack). Dagger Storm - Hurling a trio of throwing daggers, Haldar can retreat to a safer distance. Quest Intro: As a traveling bard and adventurer, you live by your wits and charm. Unfortunately, the good citizens of Ashkyos, and particularly Stavian’s Gambling Hall, disagree with your assessment of wit and charm. You don’t want to get into how it happened, but you borrowed an extremely valuable sword from the pit boss, a humorless Half-Orc named Gurgen, and you promptly lost it to a strange Gnome from Neuberg. Long story short, Gurgen values getting his sword back more than he values breaking your arms and legs… for now. Your inquiries have led you to the town of Anvil. According to the leads you have been following, a “funny-looking” Dwarf was in Hullgrim’s Tavern two weeks earlier, bragging about a great sword that they had in their possession. You suspect this so-called Dwarf is actually your card-playing nemesis Gnome. If the stories the patrons in the tavern say are true, the Gnome was waylaid by a band of Hill Goblins and drowned...his body drifting downstream into the heart of Firetop Mountain. In a perfect world you would take a boat down the river into the mountain, but the waterways wind themselves through underground passageways making it impossible. The only way is to go through the back door; a cave entrance you have been told about, used by the Goblins. With luck you manage to find it at the top of a steep, rocky pass on the western side of the mountain. Gripping your dagger and wooden shield you cautiously enter. Your adventure starts here!
