I never actually got to play my own game, so I'm going to go ahead and do that, because I think it's a good exercise:

Quest #28 - Boomingham learned so much. First quest with Barty. Great party. Cheap power is not real power. He will not allow for it. He is the defender of the weaker, and he will push them to become stronger (a belief echoed in Pseudos of 40). He punishes vampires. He is forceful and plunges into things. He is Boomingham. He will take personal credit for what teamwork achieved.

Fixed.

I actually have to reread that quest from time to time to remind myself he did not kill Bluehood (it was Docken, I've read it so much I know who landed the killing blow). In Boomingham's head, he himself literally delivered that final cut.

Boomingham can take credit for it, and if anyone argues otherwise, all he has to do is point out that Docken doesn't contribute anything offensively.

Second chances are not offered to those who warp minds (or really to many people in general).

Boomingham and Pretzel would get along splendidly.

Sarge is not your average aging pirate. In fact, with that pegleg of his I bet you that he is quicker than most! Sarge is a heavy-hitting character with very powerful attacks in comparison to the rest of his level-range.

Putting behind Sarge's powerful statistics, we find an extremely humorous character. He is not stupid, but he has that sense of humor that always hangs around whether he is drunk or sober. Sarge always shines out because despite his roughness he has a good head on him, and a good heart as well. Sarge does have a tendency for stiff drinks, however, which can causes minor annoyances for other heroes. But overall it is in all's understanding that Sarge is a fellow to be trusted.

Alright! I am eager to hear what others think about Benji

EDIT: Wow I realize that I wrote a pretty short description of Sarge Oh well, I don't have anything else

Or, you know, he could accept that it was a team effort and whomever delivered the last hit is pretty much irrelevant. The way Boomingham sometimes talks, one would be forgiven for mistake that quest for his personal adventure.

This place needs a boost. More character discussion!

What is your characters biggest failure, and why? How does your character feel about said failure?

Experience in Heroica is preferable over backstory.

Jeez, that's a tough one.

Atramor generally just ignores his failures. Doesn't understand why everyone dwells on them and go on and on and on and on and on about them. But he's had a lot of failures. His biggest was probably leaving Triad to die. There's no two ways about it; it was completely his fault. Wasn't because of the dice, the circumstances, or the plot.

Cruel irony of it is that the Witch's Shield roll was later changed, during that Quest. If the change had occurred before that fight, I would've risked staying.

Remind me what the Shield was before the change?

Haldor certainly has plenty to choose from, as I'm sure everyone would agree.

Either making the gnome girl Ameli pregnant and then leaving like an absolute bastard is a contender... or maybe the time that he accidentally killed the paladin right under the Order's nose and then let somebody else take the rap (to be fair, he wouldn't have let Jorke be blamed if he hadn't attacked the party for literally NO reason), take your pick.

For the first one, Haldor has always felt guilty for what he did, but after Ameli's father's refusal to admit his responsibility, there isn't an awful lot that he can do. I would take a guess that this makes him feel a lot worse, but Haldor tries his best to not dwell on past failures that he has no hope of rectifying. This also goes for the second event, as owning-up to the crime now would only lead to his own punishment and the tarnishing of Heroica's relationship with the order.

Are there any others that I have missed? Perhaps the moment when he also healed both Cronk and Alexis to death whilst trying to help them, that was a pretty large and embarrassing failure.

Besides not finding other imps on Olegaia as of yet, probably failing Quest 50. He has an outstanding (x3) rep with the Ji Pei now, but that was an important part of proving himself.

Advocating for Haroka and Sorona to get another chance, resulting into the death of at least two thirds of Miranda's population. Guts blames himself. Although he would never admit it. To himself, or someone else.

Benji's biggest failure is failing two quests in a row. He is used to success and he is failure in these missions caused him to be angry with himself, bringing about a darker side of him... Assassin, then Beast Warrior. He is just now starting to recover from this internal scarring.

Being expelled from the Bonaparte forces.

Sarge hasn't failed in Heroica. Well, I can't remembering him failing anyway.

Two, for Thothwick. Letting Bluto get taken, then letting him get away. I hope he'll get the chance to be there when Baba falls.

Kintobor, you started us off, aren't you going to weigh in?

Arthur views most of his actions as failures of one degree or another. Even when he brags about his accomplishments to his foes, it's only a tactic of intimidation--in his view, he ought to have failed every Quest he's ever been on, save perhaps Quest 17.

That said, his biggest failure was failing to save his compatriots in the final battle of Quest 53.

Letting Masson live. He hates it. He wants to rectify it more than anything.

He has other things he wants to do. Baba could be a great villain for him. But I hope he gets to kill Masson.

Please, please, comg along for my finale quest!

Dyric hasn't done a whole lot that he'd regret, except for perhaps his attitude to his quest mates near the beginning of Quest 19. His largest regret at the moment is definitely making an enemy of a fellow Hero, though. That said, I can't to see his experience as a leader progress, as he develops more chains of commanding.
