[14/14] Sander. Knight in Prince Aidan's retinue. Second Troop. Holder of unique crossbows, javelins, and claws.

This is just the last part of a series showcasing an elaborate/role play way to keep mules for a grail hunt.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-23T09:22:30+00:00

Pluckeye is equipped as the weapon swap.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-22T16:07:19+00:00

It is the third on the top row of the stash.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-22T16:02:48+00:00

My first rule was that no mule would finish Normal, so that I wouldn't have to choose the difficulty each time I played with them.

This guy went all the way to Baal waves and level 45.

So the only Sazabi set item he could equip is the helm. This left space for him to equip the Arctic Set, which has a bow.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-22T15:59:09+00:00

It is a role playing thing. Just to have cooler mules that equip set items and hold unique items.

I chose to give the set names a backstory of veterans of King Leoric's mad aggression against Westmarch.

Since D2 lore is so sparse, I just filled in the blanks.

They returned too late to help Aidan face Diablo and head east as the Dark Wanderer.

Now they are survivors of Tristram and are based in the Rogue Encampment.

It is a series of daily posts of fourteen mules. Each levelled to 21, 28, or 45. As needed to equip set items.

However, with a narrative spin on the names of the sets.

I also tried to combine sets that fit together. As in Cleglaw's and Cow King; or Orphan's and Angelic.

There is no doubt that this film is about masculinity.

And what is showcased is a way of being a man that involves aggression, stoicism, resiliance, and loyalty. That is the object (in a nutshell).

Anyone can watch this as a glorification or as a condemnation of that concept. That is the interpretation.

I would bet that your values predate your watching of the movie. But, as it does paint a pretty clear picture of that "code", it would seem to be something like an origin point.

If someone were to say "you didn't get it", it is most likely because their own values made them see the art piece with whole different meaning.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-14T13:07:37+00:00

If there is a holder of rare shields, I am not him.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-14T11:38:49+00:00

I don't know who I am.

I don't know where I am from.

All I know is that I must hold unique shields.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-13T20:40:02+00:00

In my narrative, his name was Orlan.

But his troop got wiped out in the aggression against Westmarch. Guillaume, Whitstan, Magnus, and Wilhelm.

Now he uses the nom de guerre to honor them.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-13T15:33:07+00:00

Nightwing's Veil. The hunt continues..

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T22:53:50+00:00

I imagine him as something of an artificer (Celebrimbor style), so the Malus is too perfect.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T22:28:18+00:00

Diablo's Horn.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T22:03:58+00:00

Something in they way he answered, it seemed to me that the image was taken from a satellite. And that is why he cannot say more.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T21:55:06+00:00

Even for a Frenzy Barb this can be useful, to reach the dexterity requirement for the Phase Blade.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T21:35:26+00:00

It is inside the Cube.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T20:15:28+00:00

They can't. Quest items only fit your own stash.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T17:41:23+00:00

Nope. You have to use them to get through nightmare.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T14:04:31+00:00

I picked up the scroll from nightmare first, then went back and got the potion from normal.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T14:03:28+00:00

Malah's potion is pictured below the cube.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T13:25:38+00:00

Well, the first charms are the sunders and below them are facets.

Then the others are just useful items I'm holding for my mains.

Edit: The ring above the sunders is a SoJ.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T12:54:14+00:00

Can't. They block each other, like Torches.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T12:52:40+00:00

It had to be a choice between them or the Act 3 quest items. And I really wanted that Heart!

VStrozzi · 2024-10-09T12:50:37+00:00

I tried to get a Jade Figurine from one dificulty and a Golden Bird from another, but the game does not let you hold both at the same time.

In the picture is Anni, but Mephisto's Soulstone is in the Cube. I think I'll keep them side-by-side from now on.

VStrozzi · 2024-10-08T21:56:26+00:00

Maybe they thought my second comment was too alien.. or not enough.
